Bob met Jane Beale during the Second World War, in Rochester in 1942, and they married on Bastille Day in 1945. In their 67 years together since, they have lived a very active life that included travel to dozens of countries.Mr. Lee is remembered for his boundless energy - he played tennis until he was 95 - and is widely known for his quick wit, enthusiastic storytelling, as well as his wide ranging adventures with his wife in their red Austin-Healy.

On the Atlantic coast he made several ocean rescues, including one in which his all-Rochester crew pulled 10 people aboard Rebel after a press boat (covering a transatlantic yacht race) sank off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island.The Lees raised four children at their home on Green Valley Road in Pittsford where they lived for 50 years. In their later years, the Lees were active residents at Cloverwood senior living where they organized hiking groups and participated in swimming and ballroom dancing.Mr. Lee is survived by his wife Jane, his sister Edna Grinstead, three of his children, Nancy "Troid" Brett and husband Don, of Gainesville, Fla., Betsy Taylor and husband Scott, of Honeoye Falls, and Mary Jane Mangan and husband Tim, of Canton, Mass, nine grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
