Upon his return from the war, Lee enrolled at Idaho State University and married LaVon "Bonnie" Smith. He later went to work for the Steiner Corporation where he was not only a star salesman but the "go-to-guy" for whatever was needed. Lee and Bonnie enjoyed golfing, skiing, fishing, cruises and trips in their RV with grandkids, family and friends. Life was good! He was a gentle, patient man as well as a tease with a gleeful twinkle in his eye. He will be missed.
