Steven Lee

Dear Friends,

Oh, I hate for Steve Lee to pass away.  He is too young and was too great of a person.  

As many of you have commented, Steve was a wonderful individual.  He was at the heart of so many important developments of the City, but he always was humble, unassuming and kind.  Born into a well to do family, he never acted arrogant or like he was anyone important.  It was very good.  Steve was an important person, but he did not act like an important person.  

Last summer, Steve gave one of the eulogies for his friend, Bo McAllister, Taddy McAlliser's brother.  It was a wonderful speech that Steve had put a lot of effort into.  Later Steve said to me that he really missed Bo, that Bo was "fun", but that he, Steve, was not fun.  It is not true, but it was so self-critical, so candid and so personal.  I admired him for his self-deprecating honesty.  Steve was not impressed by his many, many accomplishments.  

Also, I went to a funeral where Steve again gave a eulogy.  He said something very wise.  Steve said that..."We must forgive our fathers, and hope that our sons will forgive us."  

My belief is that Steve enjoyed many years of happiness as a husband to beautiful Jean and as a father to his sons.  My deepest sympathy goes to all of Steve's family.  

Sincerely,

Nancy  Norman

So sad to receive this news about one of closest high school buddies. I believe he was at the reunion and I saw him one other time when visiting in San Antonio. That's all and I deeply regret that circumstances and carelessness prevented many more times together. I send my love to his family and give thanks for his life. Robert Bullock

RIP Steve. Although we lost touch since high school I'll always remember the times we all had at your pool at the top of that hill on IH35 N. I still carry to this day the scar on my elbow from hitting the side of the pool. My prayers go out to your family.

Charles, your current photo looks suspiciously identical to your 1963 yearbook shot. Hope your celebration of this one is as exciting as that one.
