Lee was born to George and Ragna Halverson November 1, 1947. He is a graduate of Wisconsin Dells high school. A devoted husband and father, proud veteran, and dedicated public servant, Lee touched countless lives with his kindness, integrity, and unwavering dedication to his family and community.
Lee married the love of his life, Linda Fisher, on September 11, 1971. Their 54 years of marriage were filled with love, laughter, and a deep bond that grew stronger with time. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, and shared passions.
