R.I.P. Mr. Lee
#21
God Bless Mr. Lee's entire family, friends, partners and employees. Only a man with great character could have built a legacy so rich. The way his businesses have always excelled in customer care and community responsibility speak volumes for the man.

Rob, your entire family is in our prayers tonight.

My condolences to Rob and the family.

Mr. Lee leaves a great legacy.

I pray he has already received a "well done good and faithful servant", and comfort for those who really know how much they have lost.

My deep sympathies to Rob, the Lee family and the Lee Valley Tools. Mr. Lee certainly made a great impact with what he has accomplished. What I value the most though is his value system that puts not only the customers but also his employees where they need to be. Definitely a rarity in today's world but much appreciated.

We are very fortunate that his legacy will live on through Rob, rest of the family and the company he founded.

In this day and age it's pretty much impossible to see at least some negative comments about a company. But I don't remember ever seeing one about LV. If there was a problem they're always quick to fix it. Many times do even more than requested. Really speaks to the owner and how he wants to run his company. RIP Mr Lee and condolences to Rob and the rest of the Lee family.

My sympathies to the family. The world needs more men like him, not fewer. There was much about him that was worthy of emulation. Best basis for admiration that I know.
