From Fly5k:
> Hello everyone:
> This message isn't the one I had planned to write this morning.
> I'm very sad to notify you all that this morning at 7:45 am
> (Sunday October 2nd) my father, Graham Lee has passed away at
> Archer memorial Hospital in Lamont Alberta.
> Graham had driven to the hospital to check himself in only 2 weeks
> ago, with shortness of breath. The results of an MRI which was
> done only this last Tuesday revealed "suspicious lesions" on his
> brain and in his lungs and so the diagnosis of Cancer was given to
> us only a couple of days ago. There was to be a biopsy of lung
> tissue early next week to confirm this.
> My Grandmother and I've spent the weekend with him, and I had
> noted that he had weakened considerably over the 2 weeks since the
> day he had checked in. Last night he and I discussed the builders
> groups and I was planning to notify you all properly this morning of
> his confirmed illness (thinking we all had more time)
> I wanted to thank several of you who had called or messaged me with
> concern, looking for information. (I'm sorry I couldnt get back to
> you in a more timely manner)
> I also want you all to know, that for these many years, you were all
> his friends, that the communications you have all shared over the
> builder's groups were a much bigger part of his life than most of
> you realise. Sharing his ideas with everyone was what gave him a
> feeling of purpose.
> His airplane designs were his brainchild - and his legacy. As
> long as there are people out there who will build and fly them, he
> will always be with us.
> (so please carry on everyone... I know that's what he would want.)
> I appologise for the shortness of this message, I'll be back with
> more information soon.
> Best Regards
> Mike Lee
