Linwood William Lee, Jr. was granted his wings on Sunday, January 8, 2023, at Tidal Health, surrounded by his family. Linwood was the first of twins (Linda) born June 30, 1951, in Crisfield, MD to the late Peggy Sterling-Bascomb and Linwood Lee Sr.
Linwood was moved by his mother to Baltimore in 1962, he was educated and majored in carpentry at Fairmont Hill Vocational high school. Linwood moved to Virginia and married Iristine who preceded him in death.
Over the years Linwood worked for Church Home and Hospital in Baltimore and Riverside Hospital in Newport News, VA until his retirement and moved home to Crisfield. Linwood had a heart of gold-he enjoyed family, cooking, sending morning text to everyone, talking on the phone, community service, fishing, shadowing Lamont on all his travels and becoming a brother of the Crisfield Pride Lodge # 194. He really-really enjoyed his porch, friends, and family far & near would gather and celebrate life on the porch. Thank you, Porch Partners,

Brother Linwood Lee was a rare gem. I will always remember him, not just because of all of the helpful things he did for our Elks Lodge and Temple, but also because he was a very kind and caring person. His smile could light up a room.
As a side note, he was a great dancer. 😀 Rest now from your labor my dear Brother Linwood.
