He was such a special person! When my grandmother died in the mid 70s, I lived within blocks of Weatherstone. Lee spent hours with me, essentially engaging in intensive pastoral counseling, as I grappled with my grief. I used to love bumping into him at Taki, where he was a regular. We would share some sake and some stories. And I remember the youthful purity of his love for Gayle when they got together. Sacramento is poorer for his passing.

Mid-town denizens in the early 70’s will remember Lee started one of the first coffeehouses in Sacramento- from Giovanni’s coffee house on I Street in 1972 and later the Weatherstone Coffee and Tea Co. around the corner on 21st, famous for it’s specialty- Egyptian Mint Tea, so rare it was available only to favorite customers.

I was friends with Lee for years and he was our choice to officiate Tricia’s and my wedding back in 1990. Sadly, like so often happens, we gradually lost touch over the years, but he still figured large in my stories of the crazies that abounded in mid-town Sacramento in the 70’s! (You know who you are…)

I’m saddened by the loss of Lee- the golden age of Sacramento has dimmed before my eyes…
