Lee served proudly in the US Navy submarine service during the Korean War. He was an avid golfer and loved working in his yard and tinkering around the house. His grandchildren will always remember asking Grandpa for his pocketknife to cut ribbons on Christmas gifts, always having Klondike bars in the freezer and Busch Light or Strohs in the fridge, Combo’s by his recliner, letting them hit golf balls in the side yard and he always told them to “be good” whenever they were leaving the house. He will be missed.
Heritage Cremation & Burial Society is handling arrangements, and his memorial service date has yet to be determined. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Crossroads Hospice. Condolences may be shared with Lee's family online at www.heritagecremationsociety.com (330) 875-5770
