Lee was survived by his siblings Mary Chamberlain of Gays Mills, WI, Daniel "Banjo" (Laura) Peterson of Sayner, WI, and David (Peggy) Peterson of Madison; as well as many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.
Lee was preceded in death by his parents Altey and Pauline; his wives, Arlene and Carrie; and brothers, Robert J., Atley Jr., and Peter N.
