Lee and I both worked on the Westbank of New Orleans in the Pharmaceutical business for many years. We would meet at West Jefferson Hospital for lunches, play tennis with the ":Docs" and sit next to each other in medical offices waiting to see our customers. Our paths crossed once again at Franco's Health Club in Mandeville years later where we enjoyed cups of coffee and morning chats together. Occasionally, we would get a round of golf in on a sunny day. Lee always livened up our table discussions and will be sorely missed. My wife Cindy and I wish to offer our deepest sympathy to Jean and the entire Barrosse family. Mike Enright

Lee and I had become fairly close friends. we guys at Franco's athletic club's coffee table were upset when his wife, St.Jean, used to finish her exercises and then come by the coffee table and take him away from us, often just as he was telling some interesting story, like his hobby with pigeons. But I think Lee was a saintly man himself. Never do I recall any four-lettered words coming out of his mouth. He lent me a book once, about St Jude, and he made sure I returned it. I could always tell him out of a crowd, because of his attractive fedora hats. I always liked him, because he was a good conversationalist, even though he was a quiet person. I usually sat next to him at the 4:00 p.m. Saturday Catholic Mass at Rouquette Lodge, where I am the organist, That was not only because I liked Lee, but also was the quickest seat I could get up from whenever it was time forme to get back on the organ.

" Our sympathies to the Barrousse Family. I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for a different company and knew Lee very well. He was the ultimate professional , kind , pleasant and a wonderful person to know.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Lee. I enjoyed playing tennis with and against him at Franco's and we always had fun. I'm glad I got to sing to him at the Beau Provence last month. May he rest in peace.

Will miss your smiling face, Mr. Lee! Hope there's plenty of tennis, fishing and maybe a little dancing in the great beyond. Rest in eternal peace! Allison

Will never forget the great tennis matches with Lee and John Guess at Franco's!! Or the coveted lemons he would give out to his "favorites" at the club. And the martinis I shared with him and Jean at their house with the great vegetable and fruit gardens, parrots and fishing stuff. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed.
