We would like to send our condolences to Lee's family. I worked with Lee from 1997-2000, he was our service rig supervisor at Enerplus. He was quit the guy, very excitable but he brought a lot of passion to his job and that's what Lee will be remembered by. There wasn't a workover that Lee couldn't do or would shy away from, and if he didn't know something, he would be on the phone looking for advice and or giving advice in his special way. He was a great communicator and that's why I enjoyed working with him. One day I was sitting in the truck with him discussing the workover that was being carried out and I happen to look into the back seat. All I could see was cigarette packages, food wrappers and my workover programs. I said to Lee, WTF, why do you throw the programs in the back seat. I wrote all of those. He looks at me while winking the smoke out of his eyes and says, "Just gimme KB and I'll look after the rest". Of course I responded with a few choice words of my own. Keith Leyen used to call him a Batam Rooster, well I think I came up with a better name for him and it fits very well. RIP Yosemite Sam
