Survivors include his daughter, Jill (Mike) Semerad of West Bend and their sons, Spencer and Parker. His son, Chad (Elizabeth) Schmidt of Los Alamos, NM and their daughter, Lillian. A brother-in-law, A. Terry Koch of Kewaskum and his nieces and nephews, Jessie Koch, Nikki Bobb and Noah (Catie) Koch, loving aunts, uncles and cousins, and countless friends. Also survived by his current wife, Ronelle Schmidt of Kewaskum.
Lee was preceded in death by his loving first wife, Barb; his parents; his sister-in-law, Mae Koch; and his faithful dog Teddy.
The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to his coworkers at Cabela’s, who were like family to him.
