Grandmaster Lee had a stroke two Fridays ago and passed away over last weekend at the VA Hospital in SF.

I didn't know him that well. He was always present at Bay Area tournaments and always the gentleman. I really wish I could have known him better. He was one of the American pioneers of martial arts, that first generation of great masters.

He was born in 1927 in the Palama Settlement in Honolulu, HI.
