About	Lee was active in many clubs and activities at Branham HS including the Ski Club, Key Club, and French Club. He was also a member of the Varsity Swim Team all three years at BHS. After HS, Lee worked for several years as a professional ski patrolman at Heavenly Valley and as a crewman on commercial fishing boats in Alaska. He attended San Jose State University 1978-1981 and then settled down permanently in San Jose and Saratoga where he worked professionally in the mortgage banking business, primarily helping people in financial need as a Reverse Mortgage Agent. He was a member of the local Kiwanis Club for many years, tutoring students and volunteering his time in the community. Unfortunately, all those years working outdoors in the sun, snow and sea caught up to Lee in his 60's when he was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma. Although the cancer was thought to be in remission after treatments, cancer returned in late 2019, and he finally succumbed to the disease in Jan. 2022 after fighting it heroically a second time for over two years. Lee is survived by his two daughters and brother Steve (BHS Class of 1972).
