Robert ‘Bob’ Ernest Lee

LAKEVILLE — Robert “Bob” Ernest Lee, 56, peacefully left this earth on July 18, 2015.

Bob loved his daughter, Jen, his two grandchildren, Alexa and Brayden, and his family intensely, taking great joy in their happiness and pride in their accomplishments.

A resilient man of steadfast loyalty to his family and friends, Bob was always willing to lend a hand, turn a wrench, crack a joke or wrestle with his grandkids or many nieces and nephews. He enjoyed being outside in good weather working on his beloved ’65 Chevy “blackie” or in the vegetable garden.

Bob was born on May 21, 1959, in Sharon, where he grew up until moving to the family dairy farm in Lakeville.

He is survived by his daughter, Jennifer “Jen” Meach; his two grandchildren, Alexa and Brayden Meach of North Canaan; his father, Herbert Lee Sr. of Sharon; his brothers, Herbie of New York City and Kenny of Sharon; his sisters, Debbie Murtagh and her husband, Jack, Kim Carberry  and her husband, Tom, and Cindy Nelson and her husband, Eric, all of Sharon, and Terri Considine and her husband, Ken, of Salisbury; many nieces and nephews; his uncle, Abel Lee Jr., with whom he resided, and his uncles Jim and John Lee and Bill Stapleton; his aunts, Ellen Mahone, Louise Parenteau, Eileen Klauman and Patty Gersch; and many, many cousins.

Bob was predeceased by both his maternal and paternal grandparents and his beloved mother, Betty, as well as his Aunt Rosemarie.

A celebration of his life will be held at the Lee Farm off Dimond Road on Saturday, July 25, at 1 p.m. 

Please bring a plate and a chair.
