Lee Plave wrote a sympathy message

“I had the privilege of working with - and for - Lem as a young lawyer at the Federal Trade Commission. His decency, professionalism, intellect, and care was on display and set a high bar for everyone that he worked with. Working with Lem was one of the highlights of my life, both professionally and, more importantly, personally. May his memory always be a joy and a blessing.”
