Richard Maurice Lee's Obituary
Richard M. Lee
The spirit of Richard M. Lee, age 71, left his earthly body and is now with the Lord.
Richard was born in Jamaica and was an accomplished international airline pilot with a storied career for over 40 years. In fact, he flew one of the longest international routes in the world.
Richard was an avid runner/walker and completed several marathons. He loved old-school Jamaican ska and reggae, going fishing, old western movies and was an excellent cook. Richard was an expert crossword puzzle solver and enjoyed teaching people how to play dominoes. One would find him reading the Jamaica Gleaner daily and the latest spy novel. His favorite sports teams almost always lost every time he watched, but he kept watching anyway (sorry Jamaican national football team and Miami Dolphins). Above all, Richard loved spending time with his family.
Richard is survived by three children, three grandchildren, siblings, and many nieces and nephews.
