Lee was a proud member of the United States Air Force, having served his country with dedication and honor. After his time in the service, he spent 40 years working at Rocketdyne in Santa Susana, where his strong work ethic and infectious sense of humor made him a beloved figure among his colleagues.
Outside of his career, Lee was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, mountain climbing, fishing, and riding motorcycles. Alongside his beloved wife, Anna, he was instrumental in helping to establish the Tri Valley Touring Riders, a group that brought together people who shared his passion for adventure. Together, they traveled extensively across the country, visiting places such as Tennessee, New Mexico, and even Canada.
Throughout his life, Lee was a devoted family man. He was a loving husband to Anna, with whom he shared 67 years of marriage, and a proud father to his two daughters, Jackie and Karen (Rey). Lee’s legacy also lives on through his three grandchildren, as well as numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, all of whom will continue to carry forward the values of loyalty, love, and kindness that he instilled in them.
Lee’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and he will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
