As a teen, Lee walked the rails tapping them for loose ties. Eventually he advanced to marketing/sales positions in the UP's offices in San Francisco, New York and San Antonio.
Throughout his life, Lee enjoyed football -- first playing, then watching -- especially Notre Dame football. A talented cook, Lee created excellent recipes.
Lee's father and his younger brother Chris preceded him in death. Surviving are his wife, Sally Speer, Helena; mother, Marty Maskill, Ridgefield, Wash.; children Chris (Sally) Maskill and grandson Will; Ryan (Terrie) Maskill; Meghan Maskill -- all of Seattle, and Jill (Sean) Openshaw, Hawaii; an aunt and several cousins.
A funeral Mass will be at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9, at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Contributions can be made to the Father Patrick Kinney Scholarship Fund at the University of Notre Dame or Special Olympics.
