Lee William Sanford
WILTON Lee William Sanford passed away unexpectedly at Saratoga Hospital on Sunday, May 25, 2008. He had collapsed while jogging. Resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful and the cause of death was "sudden cardiac arrhythmia." Born on Oct. 30, 1977, in Glens Falls, N.Y., Lee was the son of Sally and Richard Sanford of Queensbury. Lee was a graduate of Queensbury High School, Class of 1996. He received a B.A. degree from the University of Buffalo, and was employed for several years in Boston as a financial analyst at Dane, Falb, and Stone. He was united in marriage with Alyssa Reisman on March 24, 2007. He and Alyssa returned to this area this year and Lee embarked on a career as an Investment Officer at Glens Falls National Bank. Lee is survived by his loving wife, Alyssa (Reisman) Sanford of Wilton; his parents, Sally and Richard Sanford of Queensbury; his grandmother, Shirley Cleveland; and his in-laws, Jane and Richard Reisman of Queensbury; and a brother-in-law, Michael Reisman, of Brookline, Mass. He was predeceased by his sisters, Laura and Elizabeth Sanford. Lee was a bright, affable, kind, and loving husband, son, grandson, nephew and friend. He was loved by everyone and will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched. His love of sports was supreme. His great passion for and devotion to Alyssa was noted by all.
I went to high school with Lee, played football and basketball with him, and drank a few beers too. He was a good person, and a good athlete. I had not seen him in a few years, but I am greatly saddened by his loss. His family lost his 2 younger sisters a few years back in a tragic car accident, and now they have no children. So, if you think you have it bad, put yourself in there shoes! I'd rather have cancer or die myself then ever have to endure the pain those 2 people have...
Please don't ever take life for granted, do what you love, live "your" life, not some other person's, and do everything with a 100% passion in your heart!!!! I can't stress this enough!
On a Crossfit note, did technique today for squat, deads, press, and kipping pulls...restful day...
