Once moving to Austin, he continued teaching math at Westwood High School until 1997. After his second retirement he continued to tutor high school students in math until recently.
Lee was a man of strong Christian faith serving his God, Country, and Man. He was a friend to everyone, loved to tell stories, and entertained with corny jokes.
Lee is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, other relatives and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, his son Douglas Lee Hill, his daughter Mary Lynn Clark, and his granddaughter Christiana Hill. Lee was a loving son, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, airman, teacher, and friend to everyone.
Rest in peace, sir.
