He was a mill operator at Barry's Seed Company in Clarinda, worked for the M.H.I. in Clarinda in the pasteurization room, worked for the Taylor County Roads Dept., and for the last eighteen years he worked for the Iowa Highway Department. A lot of times he worked two or three jobs while he was raising his family. Lee loved his children and cherished the years he spent raising them.
