is so much to look at, and people who need help, and things to be done.”—Lee Severy

Lee
Severy was SME Chairman in 1957. Lee started the Lee Severy Scholarship Program
in 1987, and it has funded Ninety Three (93) scholarships to date. Lee was always a special person that wanted everyone to
enjoy life. All of Lee’s personal and business dealings were always a win-win for all. He had a strong love for
his family, friends and life. We will miss the wit and humor that he brought
to each of us.
