Lee retired from dairy farming in 2000. At that time, he had already built a number of houses, and 2 cabins at Derby Lake. He built a 3rd cabin with Alice. Lee was always designing something. He enjoyed singing in a men’s group and the Aurelius Baptist Church choir. He also enjoyed scuba diving, planting trees and anything to do with lumber, building walls out of stones, restoring Hupmobiles and other old cars and tractors. Lee was always creative and generous, willing to help anyone who needed it. He was a popular entertainer at church functions. Lee liked to laugh and make others laugh. We miss you!
