Michael Richard Lee
He had a song in his heart and marched to his own beat. Music was always Mike’s major focus; he lost the use of his right hand, and was learning to play base guitar left handed. Earlier years found him playing in several local country bands. When it came to music trivia, he was an ace. He knew every song, who recorded it, when and where. His other focus, of course, was his daughter, Elizabeth. He called her several times a day just to gab. The two loved to get their “nerd on”, watching Star Wars and other flicks. Even when they were mad at each other, he still dripped with pride for her. Mike made people laugh. His impressions were always spot on. He was famous for doing Jim from Taxi. Earlier years found him working at Silverton Yacht Co. and more recently for the Philadelphia Hardware Group.
Mike is survived by his wife, Cara, though they were separated; his daughter, Elizabeth Moody and her husband, Damian.
Family celebrated 58 years privately.

Mike, you will be missed forever by your family, friends, and especially our daughter Elizabeth. I know you knew they all loved you. You and I had or differences, but as we grew up and got older things were okay between us. Now you are gone, know that piece of my heart will always be with you.

Mike was a great man. He was always a positive influence on others around him, and was always easy going and friendly. He had a great joy about him and his smile was genuine. He was quick to shake someone’s hand and always had a good joke to tell, in all my memories of Mike I can’t think of one time he was negative about anything. His love of music was one of the things that people found great about him, he was a talented instrumentalist and vocalist who performed for many years and made countless people happy. He was a good friend and his passing diminishes us all. He will be very greatly missed.
Mike Lee … Where to start… First my deepest sympathies to all of his family members. Mike was one of the funniest, funnest, and all around a genuine A 1 dude! The times we had after gigs are still among topics of convo with some of our old bandmates. Slap that bass in heaven brother!
