He worked at Goodwill Hinckley helping at-risk youths finding their way in life. Lee had worked at other jobs such as in Accounting with Wal-Mart, Advertising for Uncle Henry’s and as an associate at Bull Moose music.

Moreover, Lee had expanded his talent to photography for the illustrations of his writings, and received an online certificate from, “New York State of Photography” course, which furthermore helped him in opening his own Photography business. With his creativity, he also received his cosmetology license from the State of Maine.

Lee will be missed by many of his relatives and friends, including Ron Reynolds and Ethan Pierce, from Central Maine. Lee liked going camping, spending time outdoors and taking road trips with them, and spent much time creating special memories with their families, playing pseudo uncle to their children, who will also miss him dearly.
