Read More	Lee was born April 15, 1942, in Wenatchee, WA, to Lois Painter Wise and Roy Wise at Deaconess Hospital. He entered into rest on May 24, 2017, in Wenatchee, WA. Lee grew up in Mansfield, WA, and attended Mansfield Schools. He played basketball and baseball while in school, and his love of cars started at this time. Lee also lived in Waterville, WA, San Diego, CA, and Denver, CO, before settling in East Wenatchee, WA. He spent many years as a trucker, both long haul and local, working in the Wenatchee area for Blue Star Growers and Stemilt Growers. Lee retired from Stemilt Growers after 20 years, in 2007. In 1977, Lee purchased the Sunset Orchards lot on the corner of 15th Street and the Sunset Highway; this remained his home until his passing. On this property, his love of gardening and lawn care was shown to everyone. The immaculate care of the Box Wood hedge, the beautiful edging of the lawn, the amazing garden, along with the variety of flowers. All this was done while working full time. Not only was his yard amazing, he helped neighbors get their yards up and going. Come winter, Lee was also the snow blower guy in the neighborhood, keeping the neighbor’s driveways clear. All he ever wanted in return was a little visit with you and maybe a beer. Shortly after moving into his home, Lee met the love of his life, Verna. Together, they spent 27 years as husband and wife. One of the things they truly enjoyed was boating in their big Bayliner,”The VernaLee”. Being on the Columbia River near home or up in the San Juan Islands, spending time together on the boat was one of their favorite things to do. Lee always said that he had to keep all of the flowers and roses blooming for his favorite flower, Verna. They spent many hours together keeping the yard in order, because you never knew who might show up to enjoy a frosty, cold beer from the little house. Bowling with the Stemilt boys was one of his favorite things to do on Friday nights and he enjoyed this for many years. Apple Blossom was one of his favorite times of the year and driving his Stemilt truck down the parade route was always special to him. He would spend hours detailing his truck by himself because it had to be just right. After retiring from Stemilt, he would use his “Little Red Convertible” to carry dignitaries in all three parades: The Apple Blossom Youth Parade, The Classy Chassis, and The Grand Parade. These times were some of his favorites. Being social was also important to Lee. He was a member of the Wenatchee Eagles, The Wenatchee Moose and several other groups, including the Wenatchee Valley Mall group and the McDonald’s morning group. All of the people in these groups meant the world to Lee. Thank you all for being there for him. Lee was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Lois Wise; wife, Verna J. Wise; numerous grandparents, aunts and uncles. He is survived by his sister, Sharon Wise Beauchamp; special cousin, Darlene Wise Sexton; three children; many grandchildren; great grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephew; also neighbors and close friends that are too numerous to mention. The family would like to thank all of you that were such a special part of Lee’s life and for always being there for him. A Celebration of Lee’s life will be held at Telford’s Chapel of the Valley on Friday, June 16, 2017, at 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow at Evergreen Memorial Park in East Wenatchee, WA. Arrangements are assisted by Telford’s of the Valley, East Wenatchee, WA. Obituary published in The Wenatchee World.
