He was born on November 6, 1932, in Martinsville, Virginia, the son of Lee Pinkney Correll and Kate Elizabeth Davis Correll. In 1941, during World War II, his family moved to Mystic, and a memorable moment as a child was seeing the Charles W. Morgan sailing up the Mystic River, Lee introduced himself to the Captain, and as an adult he ended up marrying the Captain's daughter, Sally Holbrook. She predeceased him on November 16, 2012.

Lee was a graduate of The Morgan School in Clinton, and was a veteran of the Korean War, serving in the United States Army. Following his military service he lived in the Shoreline Area, and worked as a milkman, and owned Westbrook Waste, and worked at John J. Doerrer Septic in Westbrook.

Lee is survived by his son Davis L. Correll of Clinton; grandson Samuel D. Correll, and his sister Laverne Correll Atkinson of Clinton.

You are in our thoughts.

Lee Correll. Lots of good memories. I used to go with him on the Burr Dairy milk truck when I was 12 years old. I later worked at Burr Dairy with him and remained friends through the years. Nice person and he always had a smile.

Gone From My Sight

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.

And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
Ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

And that is part of Life.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. When my Dad owned a diner in Clinton, your Dad would come in there all of the time. He was a nice guy. I was just a little kid at the time, but I still remember him. (This was back in the early 1960's). My Mom knew your Dad and Mom too.
