LEWISTON – Lee Morin, of Lewiston, passed away peacefully on Sept. 11, 2024 after an illness. Lee’s second residence was Coburn Gore, in the Western Mountains of Maine, along the Chain of Ponds, where he spent as much time as could enjoying his camp and his friends.

Lee was born on Sept. 13, 1942 to Ralph and Irene Morin of Biddeford. Lee was the oldest of his siblings, Ron Morin, Lucille Paquette, Nel Morin, who predeceased him, Irene Martel and Don Morin. Lee is survived by his two children, Nichelle Gardner and Steven Morin; two grandchildren, Beau Gardner and Sophie Gardner; and one great-grandchild, Lily Gardner.

Lee graduated from Thornton Academy in 1960 and joined the Air Force shortly afterward. He worked for years at Grossman’s then many more years in management at Sabre Yachts and eventually running his own business.

Lee loved the outdoors, harvesting firewood, ATVing, and his family and friends. He was kind and generous man who gave selflessly.
