Lee was a proud Eagle Scout. He was a computer programmer for over 40 years and loved all things tech. Halloween was his favorite time of year.

In his later years, Lee became a Ham Radio Operator and was very active in the Nashville Amateur Radio Club.

Lee loved his family, he gave loads of love and support and was at every sporting, school, and personal event for his children and grandchildren. He always had a joke to tell and was the life of the party. Lee never met a stranger and was a friend to everyone.
