As a young boy, Lee lived on a farm where he discovered his love for gardening that lasted all of his life. He would always be outside working in his garden and doing yard work. If any of the neighbors needed any gardening tips, Lee was there to help. Before Precision Castparts Lee had an impressive military career that started in 1953 at the ripe old age of 15, when he joined the Oregon National Guard. From there he joined the Air Force active duty, and during the Vietnam era served in the Army. The last few years of his military career were served in the Army Reserves, where in 1981 he retired with the rank of Master Sergeant. Lee is survived by his daughters, Teresea, Cheryl, Lori, Patricia and Carla; his sons, Lloyd and Ronald; 12 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren; his older brother Dan and younger brother Glenn.
