Lee was born March 8, 1935 in Fresno, California. Growing up he helped his parents by working on their farm. He served in the U.S. Army in Germany. Upon his return he met Cheryl while cruising the main in his 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Partners in every area of life, they owned and operated Chase Flower Shop while raising three children. After retirement, they enjoyed traveling in their motor home, especially on the backroads.
If you knew Lee, you would know he was a storyteller, curious about how things work and clever at repairing things. He was a hardworking man of integrity who was always loving, supportive and encouraging.
Lee is survived by his wife Cheryl of 60 years, son Ken (Jackie) Fritz, daughters Meredith (Rick) McBrien, Marcy (Rex) Spencer, five grandchildren: Jake, Zack, Caitlyn, Brenna and Edward, sister Nancy Nelson, and many friends and extended family members.
A Memorial Service will be held at Stephens and Bean Funeral Chapel on Monday, December 23, 2019 at 11:00 am.
