Shortly after obtaining his welding ticket, he met his wife Ina. They began their life in Bay d’Espoir and later relocated to Blaketown, where they raised their family and resided until his passing. He loved his property and enjoyed many hours spent out meticulously landscaping his garden to perfection.

An extraordinarily clever and witty man, he will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 41 years, Ina. Their  3 children: Stephanie (Stephen), Tara (Daniel), Chris (Angie) and grandchildren Mackenzie, Yassee, Alexe and Mia, along with his 8 siblings: Gerald (Colleen), Herb (Ruby), Cyril (Thelma), Brenda, Gertie (Glenn), Vernon (Patsy), Jeannette (John), Kevin (Angela), brother and sister in law: Gene (Sarah) and Elaine, special friends Hayward and Carmel Russell, as well as an extended number of family and friends, will also be left to mourn.

He was predeceased by his parents, George and Blanche Lee; his father and mother in law Weldon and Pearl Brown; brothers in law: Levi, Harry and Sam, as well as one daughter, Andrea.
