He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Patricia Erin (Knight) Lee and his five children, Dillon Lee (Gina), Dennis Lee (Carrie), Michael Lee (Sarah), Meghan Edwards (Jason), and Daniel Lee (Stephanie) and twelve grandchildren – Thomas, Nicholas, Patrick, Anna, Madeline, Abigail, Joseph, Benjamin, Caleb, Michael, Emma, and April.
