Lee was born in Riverside, New Jersey and graduated from Riverside High School in 1957. He worked for Bishop Dairy, in Riverside, NJ, before taking a job at Tenneco Plastics, which was later bought by Colorite, in Burlington, NJ, as a maintenance mechanic for 35 years until he retired. Lee went on to work part time at the ShopRite in Delran, NJ for 7 years. After he was fully retired, he spent winters at their second home, in Vero Beach, Florida, with his wife, Carolyn.

He was always present at his children's and grandchildren's sporting events. He was a loyal Eagles & Phillies fan. Lee loved vacationing in Ocean City, NJ each summer with his children and grandchildren. Lee loved to fish, crab and spend time at the beach, but his family was most important to him and spending time with them was what gave him the most joy.
