Lee Gardner played his last chukka Oct. 22, 2022. He lived a full 88 years, leaving behind his wife, Polly, and four beautiful daughters.

He was an animal lover, bird lover, a botanist, biologist, Quantum physics enthusiast, philosopher, deep thinker and so much more. His character was always full of astonishing humor, always well timed and always met with laughter. We sure do miss him!
