    Everyone who knew Lee knows his Blessing for them---Peace & Love! Life was great with Lee calling, checking in regularly just for a minute or two saying how he loved us. Lee helped us be better people; all of us were touched by his presence; we will all miss him being there and sharing time; he liked the beach and going out swimming and enjoying himself sharing his views of life. Lee was one of the real good friends of my entire life and if you throw in his sister, Lisann, they would be the best known siblings of my life---now they are both together in the afterlife and we are left behind missing their touch---To the Brancato's--It was my pleasure sharing time with your siblings, please know many others share the pain and are saddened with the loss of the Brancato family from our lives. When Lee would end his phone calls with us he would say "I Love You Guys". "Have a Blessed Day". Yes, Lee was a blessing for everyone who got to know him. Peace & Love Seth

    Lee ~You never said I’m leaving, you never said Goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. In Life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts we hold a place that only you can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home. We will miss you always my friend...

    Dear Lauren, I cannot express to you how very sorry I am to you and for all of us who knew and loved Lee. Your brother was the most selfless person I've ever known. I will miss his warm and generous heart, light up the room smile, contagious laugh, hugs and appreciation for all things beautiful. No one was ever more excited by a warm sunny day, lake or beach excursion or just getting together with friends. I can remember Lee telling John and I stories that made us laugh so hard we'd cry...so many wonderful memories. I am so thankful for having known your brother, he will forever be in my heart. I have prayed to God that he now knows joy, happiness and resilience like never before. So deserving. Love and peace to you, Lee. I will miss you greatly. Lynne

    I have not seen Lee in 25 years, tragically Lee and my son were both in accidents that left them without the ability to walk. Remarkably, this caused a re connection and it has been a great 5 months with Lee in my life. I am blessed to have such memories and by this page, it is obviously Lee has touched the hearts of many people. God Bless Lee, you will be missed! Pat Trace

    A few months ago Lee and I crossed paths while he was up in long island.It was difficult to see a great guy with troubles he didn't deserve. We started talking about growing up in "the neck", We both were smiling and recalling the great times we had then and the other guys from the neck. We all busted on each other with no mercy,but we all had each other's backs. For a while that day we both were full of laughs and smiles. We both agreed that we had led charmed lives,those days of being kids having fun are memories that I cherish now.

    Lee, this Stevie Ray Vaughan song is a true expression of your legacy, spot on♡ A gentle, kind, beautiful and loving person who wanted to spread goodness to all those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with you. Thank you for leaving us with the fruit of your life worth following. Never a goodbye, just "I'll see you later". Peace, love and light is what you leave behind. You have been and always will be a very big piece of my heart. I will love you forever and always Lee Brancato♥♡♥ Until we meet again......

    I loved Lee like a brother. Recently we celebrated our "20 year anniversary" and yes he was the one that remembered. Every time my family was here for a visit he was sure to come spend time with us as part of our family. My folks and brothers loved him. If there was a party he was the first one to offer a hand, bring a delicious dish to share and also always brought along his infectious laughter and positivity. Everyone that knew Lee was drawn to his warmth, love, laugh, smile and hugs. He would give anyone the shirt off his back if you asked. He was so supportive and kind to me. I will miss him very much. Rest in peace my sweet friend. I ❤️ You.
