Mr Lecates died in 1995 leaving a large estate of $770,000 of which he left $583,000 to the Library. As to be expected he is well loved by the library.
He also left $50,000 to his cat Billy. Billy was to be maintained by Dr Richard Long, a vet in Delmar, and the money was to support the cat. Needless to say Mr Lecates relatives got involved but there was still enough money for the cat to live happily at Dr Longs' office.
