After graduating, Lee joined the U.S. Air Force as a security air policeman with top-secret clearance. Except for a four-month training school in California, spent four years in San Antonio, Texas.
He married Vivian Hernandez 1955, and they have three daughters and one grandson; all live in the Houston area.
After discharge from the Air Force, Lee held a variety of jobs in the Lafayette, Louisiana, area. He then went to work for Welex, a Halliburton Company based in Houston, Texas, in 1963, in the materials department. Lee worked his way up to supervisor of the department, having 34 employees and an inventory of $34 million.
Lee retired from Welex after 22 years and opened a pizza restaurant in the Houston area, and after three years, retired again.
Lee and his wife Vivian enjoyed traveling and visited several countries in Europe. Over the years, Lee was involved in volunteer work in several ministries at his former church. At Sacred Heart in Conroe, he was dedicated to the work of St. Vincent de Paul, part of which is ensuring folks did not go hungry.
