Leland in his younger days built and raced go karts, worked at Rockwell International and farmed. He served on Ridgeway’s Village Council. Most recently he owned and transformed Pigeon Bay Campgrounds in Indian River, MI, from a 5-cabin fishing camp to a 55 lot RV campground on Mullett Lake. 

He was a member of the Eagles and Moose Lodge and did charitable work in Costa Rica, bringing shoes to children. 

In his free time Lee enjoyed traveling with the entire family, golfing and could not get his fill of fishing.
