He was born in Maud, Oklahoma, to John and Cora Ann (Williams) Tiffin.

He worked several years as a minister in Oakdale, CA and Stevensville, Ontario.
He then changed his interest to science. Lee worked for the USDA in Beltsville, MD as a research scientist for the remainder of his career.
Lee and Donna had purchased a cabin in the Swan Valley area when they brought their son to the University of Montana. The day Lee retired from Federal Service; the couple were all packed and started on their journey to the cabin. They approached the new home facing a full moon on May 5, 1977.
In the Swan, he was an active supporter of the Swan Ecosystem Center, a member of the following boards, the Library Board, the Swan Valley Elementary School Board, and a charter member and local president of AARP.
He also enjoyed doing some woodwork in the Condon Community Library.
A Humanist and skeptic, he espoused the principles of the constitution and amendments. He spent a good part of his life perfecting the use of the scientific method and felt that students of life could greatly benefit by those concepts.
