We lost a gentle man On December 16, 2005 Father, friend, husband, grandfather and favorite brother-in-law, amongst others. Donald Lee had a rich circle to sustain him. He was born on July 25, 1918. He was a lifelong resident of Minneapolis and told stories about how he and his young friends would test their "jalopies" on the hills of Mount Curve. He was a member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and the VFW for over 50 years, and worked for the State of Minnesota for nearly 30. Don served in World War II as a 1st Lieutenant and landed on Utah Beach on D-Day. He was wounded multiple times and his continuing appreciation of the small things in life were evidenced in letters from the Front, one of which talks of nearly spilling his "precious cup of coffee" when a bomb detonated a building behind him. His children would like to say that it was an honor having him as a father.
