Lee Charles Voyce Jr. ’52, whose Miami, Fl, company specialized in vibration and noise control, was born on July 4, 1930, in Chicago, IL. The son of Lee C., a business manager, and Catherine Meeker Voyce, he grew up in New Jersey, where he was graduated in 1948 from Teaneck High School. That year, he arrived on College Hill from West Englewood and soon settled in academically after an early unpleasant encounter with Latin. Energetic and enterprising, he became involved with numerous campus organizations, including the Outing Club and the Camera Club, which he served as president, as well as the Choir and the Student Christian Association. His spare time was also devoted to his favorite among the arts, dramatics, through participation in productions of the Charlatans. President of the Squires Club in his senior year, he received his diploma in 1952.

After employment as an assistant sales representative for the National Broadcasting Co., Lee Voyce obtained an M.B.A. degree in 1956 from the Harvard Business School. The following year, he settled permanently in the Miami area and there went into business serving as sales representative and consultant on vibration and noise control for his firm, Voyce-Legier, Inc. He served in addition as the company’s secretary-treasurer and eventually became its owner and operator. Widely traveled and known as a gourmet, he was also enjoyed music as well as good joke. He was held in fondness by all who knew him, and his July 4^th birthday was an annual occasion for a double celebration.

Lee C. Voyce, Jr., a resident of North Miami, died on April 12, 2007. He is survived by his wife, Rose Marie Voyce, whom he had married in 1970, and two sons, Glenn and Scott.
