The family of Bob Lee would like to share with you that he passed away early Friday morning, February 27th 2009, at age 87 after a long battle with prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. Death came peacefully at home as God granted his wish not to linger.
Until last week when he started to slide, Bob was able to enjoy a constant stream of visits from family and friends. He played his piano almost daily, to the delight of his caregivers. His prayers before meals always included a personal and specific expression of gratitude for the gifts of a life well lived. That well-lived life included fathering six children, writing eight books and producing a number of films and videos for the Lutheran Church. He was an inspiration to us.  The family will receive friends on Tuesday March 3rd 2009 from 3-5 and 7-9 pm at Cecere-Pensa Funeral Home, 2283 Grand Avenue in Baldwin, NY (just south of Sunrise Highway). The location is easily walkable from the Baldwin LIRR train station. The funeral for Bob will take place at 10:30 am on Wednesday March 4th 2009 at <St. Peter’s Lutheran Church on Grand Avenue (just south of Sunrise Highway, across the street from the funeral home). Afterwards, we will proceed to Pinelawn Cemetery for the burial. Because of his great love for church music, Bob had requested a Hymn Festival as part of a memorial service. This will take place on Friday, March 6th 2009 at 7:30 pm. at <St. Peter’s. We will continue with a memorial service at 8:15. Please join us as we say goodbye to Bob and celebrate his life.
Paul and Rita Lee
