Charley Lee, February 12, 1944 to May 23, 2013
On this day Charley left us to join his loving parents, Roy and Jane Lee of Lovington, NM, where he was raised.
Charley is survived by his wife of 39 years, Geri Lee, son, David Paul Sánchez, sisters-in-law, Arlene Santillanes, Lydia Gonzáles and Oney Apodaca, his brother-in-law, Andy "Pooh" Tafoya and his wife, Kathryn, Godson, Daniel Santillanes, his constant companion (his dog), Miz Dazy, many nephews, nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles and his wonderful friends.

Charley knew no strangers. Charley was a gentle man with a big heart. Charley was instrumental in establishing the first Little League in Alameda, building fields and the concession stand that still stands today on Nativity's Church grounds. Charley was a life member of the Optimist Club, Menaul Boosters and Marriage Enrichment. His optimist club worked very hard for youth, the Christmas Motorcycle Toy Run, repairing bikes for youth in need, Raymond Sánchez Community Center, feeding at Ronald McDonald and Casa Esperanza. Charley also coached "Charley's Angels" a women's softball league.
Charley was an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys.
