I worked with Mr. Lee for last year and half at Pistor Middle School. Mr. Sang Lee embodied the qualities of a great teacher, professional and person. When I observed Mr. Lee, he was often reminding students of his tutoring time in the morning and consistently reassured his students that he was there to support students understanding and learning. He regularly asked for and embraced feedback to grow himself professionally. His passion for Science was evident. Sang Lee welcomed the challenge of learning new technology to support virtual learning and teaching. Mr. Lee was always the professional and gentleman. He will truly be missed.

I worked with Sang Lee at the University of Arizona. I'm so deeply saddened to hear this news. Sang was such a kind and intelligent person with a beautiful life story. He helped me tremendously during my studies at the University. He always smiled at work and often spoke about his family. I know he was loved by everyone who knew him.

God bless you and your family! You are in my prayers as you grieve your dear husband, son and father.

I worked with Mr. Lee since he arrived at Pistor because I teach the sixth grade GATE students and he taught the GATE seventh and eighth grade students. He also was an integral part of working with me on the Pistor Science Fair. Mr. Lee was always so positive and enthusiastic about our work with the students and science fair. He worked very hard to provide high quality lab experiences for the students so they too would gain an appreciation and wonder for science principles. Mr. Lee cared deeply about the well-being and success of all his students and worked hard to help the be their best and learn all they could.

Mr. Lee was very kind and made it easy to work with him on any project. He was full of good ideas and encouragement. Mr. Lee had a ready smile and laugh in all he did that was wonderful.

I miss him too.

Love, Rosina West

My heartfelt condolences go to Yoon, Judy, and Janice. I greatly enjoyed working with Sang at NIH and then here at UA. He was always positive, friendly, and hard-working. He was completely dedicated to the goals of the lab and treated all his colleagues with respect. I am so glad to hear that he found his niche with teaching and derived great joy from it. He passed too soon but I'm sure he touched the lives of many students and coworkers. I am so sorry for your loss. Best regards, Cathy Smith
