Robert Lee Obituary
Chester - It is with great sadness that the family of Robert Lee, of Chester, announces his passing away peacefully at home following a brief illness, on Sat., December 9th, 2017, at the age of 83.
He attended Miami of Ohio University and completed his education at the University of Oklahoma. For many years he was employed by Texaco, as an engineer, and later pursued a second career in real estate, specializing in the sale of land, with the Coldwell Banker Real Estate office in Chester for over 25 years. He also spent a brief time as an assistant running coach at West Morris Central where his daughters attended high school.
He will be remembered by daughters: Melissa Bidwell (Kevin), Meghan Secher (Mike), Jennifer Ziance (Dan Kopach), and Pamela Lee (Shane Sandman); his grandchildren: Erin, Katie, Kelly, Julia, Luke, and Jackson; his long-time companion, Judith Fenton, and her sons Richard and David Bochkay (Gina).
He enjoyed running, visiting the jersey shore and spending time with Judy working in their garden.
A private gathering at the Black Horse Inn in Mendham was attended by his immediate family where they celebrated Robert's life.
