Lee was born on April 22, 1937 in Jackson, the son of Herbert and Isabel (Malusky) Christner and was united in marriage to Mary (Campeau) Fulker in 1975. Lee graduated from Scottville High School with the class of 1955 and furthered his education at Michigan State University in Engineering.

He worked for the prestigious McCarthy Brothers, and Hospital Building and Equipment companies, both based out of St. Louis, Missouri; Alten Design Builders of Chicago; and for Barton Malow in Detroit. Following his retirement in 1998, Lee and Mary moved to Ludington enjoying summers in Michigan, and winters in Florida.

Lee was also a member of the American Legion, the Ludington Boat Club, was a life member of the B.P.O.E., and several professional organizations. He and Mary were fortunate to travel all 50 states and several European countries.
