Lee enlisted in the U.S. Navy and proudly served his country. Upon being honorably discharged, he joined the Baltimore County Police Department becoming the Major of Detectives after 20 years of service.

He moved to Ocean City in 1970 and continued his law enforcement career. He was named Chief of Police, transforming and updating the department with new training, equipment and programs. In 1978, he resigned as Chief of Police.

Lee was elected to the Ocean City Council in 1980 and served as a councilman for many years. In 1987, he was reappointed by the Ocean City Council to return as Chief of Police. Lee was the only person to serve as Chief of Police twice. During his tenure as councilman and Chief of Police, Lee worked diligently to serve the citizens of Ocean City.

Throughout the years, he was a member and served as past President of the Ocean City Lions Club, an honorable member of the Ocean City Fire Department, and member of the Ocean City Elks Club.

Fishing was one of his hobbies. Countless hours were spent on the ocean with Dr. Hunter Mann, Mayor Hugh Cropper, Herb Morgan, to see who would catch the "largest" fish of the day.

Taking up golf in his later years became a favorite pastime and he played with "Friday Nighters" which met every Friday evening at the Ocean City Golf and Yacht Club of which he was a member.

Spending the winter with his wife in Vero Beach, Florida for 20 years after his retirement was the highlight of his life.

Lee was an avid Baltimore Colts fan and enjoyed watching both college and professional football.

Many people will remember him as a humble, gentle, gracious, kind, and loving husband, father and friend.
