David Lee Obituary

My condolences to the family. Dr. Lee was my pediatcian when I lived in Chicago. I will never forget the many visits to his office he was a very good doctor. He always told me my curved back would give me a hard time when I got pregnant and it did. He was a very intelligent man. He diagnosed me with pneumonia many times and treated me. I wish there was more doctors who cared and actually know what they are doing now a days. I am a registered nurse and I work NICU. Wish I could of been at the funeral. He truly was a great man. Thanks for all your care and kindness Dr. Lee. You will never be forgotten.

Dear Lee Family,

We were so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad when we were at the office last week. Dr. Lee truly was a special man. He treated all of his patients/parents as if they were his only patient. He will truly be missed.

The Sharp Family

Please accept my condolences at David's passing. Through the years I had many interactions with him and he taught me many of the intangibles of being a good Dr.

Dear Lee Family,
I wish to extend my deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. May all your fond memories sustain you in this difficult time.

Dear Ron, Patty, Lee kids and extended family,
How sad it is to say goodbye to your dear father and grandpa. I am with you in spirit and love you all. I will remember him in my prayers.

Dear Karen , we were so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Joe told us the news, and we want to express our sympathies to you and your family. We are so glad we had the chance to meet him during the wedding festivities in a not too distant October weekend. He seemed like such a nice and very respected man. Andy and I have you and your family in our prayers. Sincerely, Pat and Andy Wyss

Dear Lee Family: Please accept our sincere condolences. Your father always had a kind and welcoming word for us on our many shared occasions with you. Our fondest memories are his enthusiasm sharing dim sum with us. We pray that your faith will bring you great comfort in this sad time.

Dear Cousins, Aunts and Uncles,

We are all saddened by Uncle David's passing. While being the father, grandfather and great-grandfather to all my wonderful 'Chicago' cousins, he has been my 'go to' Uncle in the Chicago area for more than the 32 years I have resided in the area.

Over the many years, Uncle David has given me a place to stay, fed me/us, lent me his car, entertained me (Cub's games, Superbowl trip, etc.) been my/our Dr./pediatrician, given me advice and has been there for me as his older brother (my father-Gilbert W. Lee) would have been.

We will all miss him greatly.

With love and heavy hearts,
Cousin Gilbert, Kyoko and Hana

Dear Lee Family,

My husband Paul and I are very sad to hear about your Dad's passing. We live out of state and wish we could share our condolences in person.

Dr. Lee was a one in a million. How rare to find a doctor who is equally intelligent as he was kind. He was my family's pediatrician from the late 60' thru the 1980's. His soft-spoken and kind personality brought calm to us 6 nervous kids waiting for check-ups or when we were feeling sick.

I remember how Dr. Lee and my Mom would chat and catch up during our appointments. He always talked about his children with such pride and love.

Later on, as an adult, I was happily surprised to learn that your Dad is my husband's Godfather and his family's doctor, too. All 12 kids! Turns out he and my father-in-law met in Med School and became friends. They had practices down the hall from each another at Old Orchard and kept in touch all of these years.

We were happy to visit with him at our wedding and my in-law's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Your Dad was a special man. But of course, you all know that better than anyone.

Thinking of you and hoping that all of your happy memories help ease your sadness.

Take Care,
Michelle and Paul Nold

To The Lee Family,
In loving memory of a dear man. I worked for David for many years and I so enjoyed him and his sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear children of Dr. Lee A friend from Chicagowho met your dad at several of our weddings just called about his passing. I am so sorry and send condolences and prayers from all the Schwindamans. We have so many fond memories of times spent with him and so appreciative of all the care and support he gave us through the years. Whenever time permits could one of you call me. Our family would like to contribute to one of his charities and also get caught up with all the Lee family. I am so sorry we cannot make the funeral but you will be in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Love, Shirley Schwindaman H--574-264-6127 C 574-276-2839

Dr. Lee was our doctor for our six children for 25 years. My children really liked him and I trusted him with their care without a doubt ever. I really enjoyed his sense of humor! The two children to whom I spoke today about his passing both said, "We lost one of the good ones!"

My sincere condolences to the Lee Family. I was so sad to hear about David's passing. I was fortunate to have worked for him for many years and have fond memories of him and all his children.I know that the days ahead wil be filled with happy memories for all of you as well.

Dear Children of Dr. Lee,
I was very saddened to hear of the loss of your dear father. I had the privelege of working with Dr. Lee at 64 Old Orchard for about 4 years circa 1990. He also was my younger daughters pediatrician. He was a great boss and doctor. I am sure your memories of him will carry you through this difficult time.

Dr. David Lee's first words to me following the delivery of our severely premature child thirty-six years ago were, "You have a son, but he has only a slight chance to live. We will do our best to save him."� For the next 140 consecutive days he expertly oversaw the care of our son in neonatal intensive care. He did save him.
Our son is a happy, healthy man today because of Dr. Lee's superb skill and dedication.
Our family will always be ineffably grateful to you, Dr. Lee.

We are very saddened by Uncle David's passing. My memories of him are highlighted by his kindness and gentle manner. He will be very greatly missed.

I was very sorry to hear of Dr. Lee's passing and to his family I offer my heartfelt sympathy.

My four children (Bill, Heather, Colleen, Brendan) had Dr. Lee as their pediatrician for many years and they all loved him as did I. He was the best. All of you will be in my prayers and thoughts during this most difficult time.

Char McKenna

My deepest synpathies.

Dear Lee Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts, and prayers.

Uncle David will be missed for his kindness to our family. He was an exceptional uncle and outstanding godfather to my daughter, Heather. I am devastated that he has left us. My deepest sympathy to my cousins and their families.

To All Of David's Children and Family,
I was very sorry to hear of David's passing. We haven't been in touch for several years except for one time when I visited him at the nursing home.
We had many good talks for so many years when we both had our offices on the fourth floor of the Old Orchard Professional Building.
We each used to escape from our own office and find refuge for a short time in the other's office when things got so hectic that we needed a break.
He was a great guy. Please accept my sincere condolences.
Richard Swoiskin
