friends. He also started golfing at the age of 45 and played many rounds at Harding and Sharp Park golf clubs, among others. He also dabbled in Archery and Billiards. He was well known amongst family and friends to have a gift in Math calculatio­ns. And above all, he loved Classic rock songs and musicians from the 60’s to the 80’s

- he would always know the names of the singing groups. He was known for his BBQing skills on his Weber grill as well.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude for the wonderful care and comfort given to John by the caregivers at Home Sweet Home, Daly City and from Meridian Hospice.

Lillian Lee Port passed away on January 10, 2022. She was 97 years old. Lee, as she was commonly known, was a pioneer. She attended City College of New York, where she proudly served as Editor of the school newspaper. She then graduated as valedictor­ian of Brooklyn Law School, class of 1952. Lee and Len moved with their young family to the Bay Area in 1964.

Shortly after moving to California, Lee worked as a volunteer with Peninsula Temple Sholom, the American Jewish Congress, and at The Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County. After her children were grown, Lee began practicing law in the San Mateo Office of the District Attorney and County Counsel for 25 years. She specialize­d in education law, representi­ng school districts throughout the county. She taught School Law for Administra­tors at San Francisco State University for many years, and wrote the text book used by most educator administra­tive credential programs in California.

After retiring, Lee resumed her volunteer activities in the after-school reading program at a local school, on the Foster City Education Committee, and on the Foster City Dog Park Committee. Lee and her husband of almost 56 years, Leonard (1924-2004) traveled the world together, visiting more than 57 countries. Lee’s at home passion was baking. She was known as the woman who had a new cookie for every occasion. Lee is survived by her three children - Penny Bennett (Dick), Jerri Port, and Andrew Port (Debbie); by her grandchild­ren - Lisa Prange, Amy Bennett, John Bennett, and Jessica and Aaron Port; and by three great-grandchild­ren. In lieu of flowers, donations to Peninsula Sinai Congregati­on in Foster City would be appreciate­d.
