Lee was born in Collingwood on December 18, 1956 to Roy and Leona, and raised in the Painswick area before moving to London. While he was working at the Maple City Gas company in London, he was introduced, through a unique course of events, to the love of his life, Nancy, to whom he was married to for 49 years. In 1981 they welcomed their son Bobby to the world. The family relocated to Flesherton in 1988 where Lee worked for the Talisman Mountain Resort until 2004. Lee loved all animals, and enjoyed being outdoors, spending summers at the trailer with Nancy. Because of this love, he was a natural fit for Scouts Canada, where he could help others find appreciation for the world around them. He inspired this love in his son Bobby, who he was a very proud father to. He also enjoyed going to the races at the Varney Speedway and watching Nascar. Lee was a gentle soul, a little shy but with a big heart. His life was not without its challenges, yet he met each one with courage and resilience. His absence will be felt deeply by all who loved him.
