LeRoy Alberts Obituary
Alberts, LeRoy C. "Lee" Lee Alberts, 74, of Roselle, passed away at Holy Family Hospital in Des Plaines April 15. Lee was born in Chicago March 28, 1936. He was a beloved husband to Patricia (nee Seelig), loving father of Marc (Jennifer) Alberts, Tammy (Dan) Cheever, Kim (Jeff) Kase, William (Terry) Kase, and Joseph (Dorothy) Kase; dearest grandfather of Robyn, Andy, Kevin, Katie, Brandon, Ryan, Emily, Travis, Dylan and Nicholas. He was the dear son of the late Charles and the late Frances Alberts, devoted brother of Grace (John) Weir and Georgia (Paul) Pistorio; dear brother-in-law of Jerry Seelig, Michael (Lana) Seelig and the late Don Seelig. He was the fond uncle of many nieces and nephews. After graduating from Taft High School in Chicago in 1954, Lee was a U.S. Army veteran and was stationed in Germany in the mid-1950s. Lee was a skilled and respected painter and decorator for 50 years, and his handiwork is on display in thousands of homes throughout the Chicago area. He had a lifelong love of fishing and, later in life, learned and greatly enjoyed golfing. He also played accordion and was a portrait artist of considerable talent. Lee will be remembered by his friends and family for his loving and generous nature and his easy laughter. He was a person you wanted to talk with when you met him. A funeral Mass will be held April 21 at Church of the Holy Spirit, 1451 Bode Road, Schaumburg. Visitation was held April 18 at Salerno's Rosedale Chapels, 450 W. Lake St., Roselle. Interment will be at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, Elwood, Ill. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Lung Association, 55 W.

Dear Pat,
I am so sorry to hear that Lee passed away. I can only imagine how much you and your entire family miss him. David related all of the great times you all had at the Northwestern games.
I can only hope that as time goes on you are comforted by all the great memories that you and all those that knew him have. You are in our thoughts.
Sincerely,
Beth Bowman

Dear Pat,
Marilyn Bowman called to tell me that Lee passed away and I am so sorry to hear it. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rich and I enjoyed Lee's company at Bowman parties and NW football games. Lee had a wonderful sense of humor. I didn't realize Lee had such a large family. And family is so important during this difficult time. Pat, my heart goes out to you. Being a widow is not much fun, as you now know. But keep your faith in God's love and your family and it will help you cope as the days go by. May God bless Lee, you and your family.
Love,
Leah Anderson Bond

I am so sorry to hear of Lee's passing, one of my younger cousins. I moved to CA when he was only 26, so that I never had the chance to know him as he matured into an accomplished man!
My thoughts are with his family!

My heart goes out to Pat and all of Lee's wonderful family. Lee was an everyday part of my life in the neighborhood. I can still see him driving his white van or sitting in the garage or in a chair. We shared many stories about our lives especially about the "old neighborhoods " we grew up in Chicago. My two dogs Bailey and Belle loved him and would sit by him when he was out, for him to pet them instead of continuing our walk. He will be missed. Hey Lee, I hope they have good greens up in heaven for you to golf on! God bless you. With sadness and sympathy, Pam
