Lee was born September 13, 1934, to Troy & Emma (Kohler) Taylor in Nampa, Idaho. He was a loving Son, Brother, Father, Grandfather, Uncle and Friend. He graduated from Pocatello High School, and after graduation, Lee served in the Idaho National Guard, 116 Armed Calvary F Troop, as a Master Sergeant. Lee married Irene Manos, they had two sons, Monte Lee (Deceased) and Robert Lee. They later divorced. Lee married Rosemary Farwell, they had 1 daughter, Marilee. They later divorced. In 1976 Lee met me, Lorraine, the love of his life, and he, the love of my life, we were married, spending 36 loving years together. He started work in 1952 with the Railroad and retired in the Automobile Industry. He worked in many dealerships, retiring from 30 years with Ted's. He didn't like retirement, and went to work with Courtesy Ford as their Shuttle Van Driver for the next 5 years, up into his illness. He loved this job! Lee was a member of the Bannock County Sheriff's Posse. He loved his horses and his dogs. He loved trap shooting, fishing, hunting, reloading shells, World War II Aircraft, and oil painting. He always looked forward to Trap shooting and Fishing with his Friends! Lee was very devoted to the people he was surrounded by and he will be missed by everyone whose life he touched.
