numerous campaigns and support missions.

After the war, Lee returned to Ohio State,
where he met the love of his life and wife of
72 years, Johann. Lee and Johann settled in
Philadelphia to raise their family. Lee ran a
successful meat packing company and was a
founding member of Temple Beth Hillel,
Wynnewood, PA. Lee remained an avid
sports fan of his beloved Ohio State Buck-
eyes, Chicago Cubs and Philly sports teams.

Upon retirement to South Florida, Lee was a
constant fixture on the tennis courts well in-
to his eighties despite his declining health.

Lee was a generous husband, dad, grandfath-
er and great-grandfather. He will be missed
dearly. Lee is survived by his wife, Johann;
daughter Linda Hertz (Lee); son Richard
(Cherie); grandchildren Meryl Junik (Kyle),
