Orville "Lee" Bolin, was a beloved husband of 57 years, father, grandfather, and great grandpa. He passed away in his sleep on November 24th, 2018 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Lee was born in Missouri on June 9, 1944, and was the last of 7 children born to Orville and Eula Bolin.
Lee moved to Burbank, California at the age of 9, where he went through the Burbank school system.

He started his framing company known as Lee Bolin & Associates in 1971 and was owner and operator until 1994. At that time Lee and his wife moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado and started Saddletree Homes. He said, he never worked a day in his life because he loved his work so much.
God, family, friends, traveling, people and of course, his work, were his most loved treasures.
