Stouffer employee Lee "Flyman" McNear will be missed. For students who lived in the Quadrangle and Stouffer College House or frequented the dining hall, McNear was one of the few joys of eating at Stouffer besides the frozen yogurt. McNear was also many students' first experience with college dining food. Terms of endearment such as "baby doll" and "my main man" made standing in the serving line waiting for the food bearable. And students knew when they asked if they could have some macaroni and cheese McNear would say, "You know you can." It was McNear's personal touch in everything he did that made him popular, whether he was putting chicken wings on a plate or calling downstairs to the kitchen for another tray of shepard's pie. With his unexpected death, future students won't experience the essence of Stouffer that was McNear. McNear and his charm will be missed. But the Flyman will always be remembered by the students he served for the past five years.
