Marraige
After the passing of his wife Betty in 1998 he met the final love of his life Leah. They met online and talked for a longtime before meeting at Goldies in Prairie City. He showed up with a bouquet of wild flowers. They ate ice cream and talked for hours,to the point that Leah's dear neighbors called the restaurant to see if they were still there. The next date was with his daughter and sister at the Funny Bone to see the Untamed Shrews,which was crazy raucous. They held in their laughter until she started laughing. They completely enjoyed the 26 years they shared. Lee loved with his whole self and everyone was accepted and loved so a very large extended family evolved.
