 Dennis R. Lee, 74, of Lowville, passed
away on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at Twin Pond camp at
Soft Maple while doing what he enjoyed most—preparing
for the upcoming hunting season.
Dennis was born
on July 1, 1951,
in Lowville, the son of the late Richard E. Lee and Kathryn M. (Morrison)
Lee. He graduated from Lowville
Academy with the
Class of 1969. Following graduation, Dennis served in the United States Air
Force as an Air Traffic Controller, with assignments in Vietnam and Germany. After six years of
service, he was honorably discharged.
On June 23, 1973, Dennis
married Andrea J. Arvanites at the Lowville United
Methodist Church.
Together they made their home in Lowville.
For more than 50
years, Dennis was a well-known and respected local businessman as the owner
of Lee’s Auto.
Dennis is
survived by his loving wife, Andi, their two daughters and their families,
Lyndsie K. (Kori) Tucker, and grandchildren, Makenna (Adam) Schaab and
Aryanna Hartley; Laura A. (Jeremy) Gracey, and grandchildren, Anna Gracey
and Wesley Gracey; his siblings, Donna (Gary) Jones, Bill (Becky) Kaufmann,
Paula Kaufmann, and Tina (Mark) Tuttle, as well as several nieces and
nephews.
Dennis was
predeceased by his brother, John F. Lee, and his stepfather, Paul Kaufmann.
Dennis enjoyed
camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, and traveling, but above all he
cherished time spent with his grandchildren. During retirement, he
volunteered with the Wounded Warrior Project, the Turin Snowmobile Club,
and trail maintenance and fundraising. He was a member of Twin Ponds
Hunting Club, Turin Snowmobile Club, the Lowville American Legion Post
#162, and was a life member of the Lowville B.P.O. Elks Lodge #1605.
