Lee "Moose" Bunch Jr. was born on July 10th, 1947 in Stilwell, OK, the son of Lee Sr. and Leatha (Quinton) Bunch.
He grew up with six brothers and five sisters, Hubert, Rabbit, Herbert, Jody, Leon, Charlie, Kathy, Joanna, Leola, Viola and Zelma. Lee graduated from Cave Springs High School before joining the United States Army. He served time in Vietnam between the years 1968 to 1970 where he earned the rank of Specialist. He was proud and honored to serve his country. It was during this time, he married the love of his life, Yvonne Handle in 1969. Together they raised their two children, Todd and Melissa. They spent 34 wonderful years together until her passing in 2003. He worked for Cherokee Nation Housing Authority for more than 35 years as a Heavy Equipment Operator. A position that allowed him to meet many great people that turned into long lasting relationships over the years. Lee always put in an honest day's work and was a straight-forward, simple man; "what you see is what you get". Playing fast-pitch softball with his friends was a favorite pastime along with catching a Thunder game or watching Oklahoma Sooner softball with his family.
