R.I.P. Richard Lee, inventor and founder of Lee reloading company

[HFS]

Richard Lee, the founder of Lee Precision, passed away last month. From the company website:

"On a personal note, my Father, the inventor of the 'Lee Loader' and more than 30 other patented reloading products recently passed away. Without Dad, I wouldn’t be here, and reloading your own ammunition would have been an expensive hobby for a wealthy few.

Sincerely,

John Lee
President

October 3, 2018"
