Speaking of Richard Lee...........

Post by Crumb Castle »

Has there been any updates or tid-bits on his activities since retirement?
I remember seeing a brief video on youtube where he introduced a couple of new products that never seemed to get off the ground. One was a bullet puller. As I've progressed through my reloading phases, I've thought about him from time to time. I'd like to hear that he's well, happy and comfortable.

I thought Richard Lee had passed away about two to three years ago. I believe it was while I had my mold business. I poked around for a bit but could not find that information on Lee's site or an obiturary. I remember reading a Statement.

His son John is the President of the company and his grandson Andy, John's son, is following his dad's and granddad's efforts.

I pray that he hasn't. You'd think there would've been a great mention at his passing.
