David A. Lee 
9/16/1925 - 7/28/2005 

Mr. David Lee, passed away July 28, 2005 after a short battle with cancer. He 
was a long time resident of Bakersfield and was proud of his thirty-plus year 
career as a Chief Medical Laboratory Technologist. His friends and 
acquaintances know that he loved telling stories about his college and 
military past. He left his home in South Dakota to volunteer for the Navy 
during World War II. The Navy chose to send him to college instead of the 
front line. The following years, he studied at Swathmore, University of 
Washington, University of Iowa, University of Minnesota, and University of 
California at Berkeley. He received two Bachelors of Science degrees and two 
Master degrees, including the first master degree for nuclear physiology. 
While studying for his doctorates degree at Berkeley, he was drafted by the 
Army for the Korean War. After the war, David Lee married Jean Williamson and 
moved to Bakersfield. There he raised his twin daughters, Laura Jean and 
Patricia Ann. He lived a full and happy life. In his later years he was 
identified by many as the nice old man on the block. He will be remembered for 
his pipe, his beer and story telling. Mr. David Lee is preceded in death by 
his wife, Jean. He leaves with loving memories, his daughter, Laura Lee and 
husband Mark Diamond and his daughter Patty Lee and her husband Kevin Kusek. 
He also leaves his grandchildren, Sunshine, Dayle, TAra, Matthew, Stephan, and 
Sarah and his great-granddaughter, Makayla. Please join us for an informal 
remembrance gathering at his home at 3508 Madrid Ave., on Sunday, July 31, 
2005 at 2:00 p.m.
