While working his way up in the business, he met his future wife of 54 years, Ingrid, while making restaurant deliveries.

Lee and Ingrid retired to Fort Meyers, Florida for awhile, but the draw of St. Paul and their grandchildren drew them back. Preceded in death by his wife Ingrid, son Dean, and sister Jan.
