Thank you all for your words. I met Lee here in our Omnisport world when he joined the group a few years back. We bacame email friends shortly after that, as he loved my waterpolo pics I post. We shared supportive messages and "not suitable for Omnisports" pics periodically, and had a wonderful cyber friendship. I will miss him and his contributions to our group. Godspeed Lee, a life well lived.
