Born in New York City, New York, he graduated from Yale University (BA, 1969) and served in the United States Air Force where he was a pilot and flew in Vietnam. He then graduated from Golden Gate University (MBA 1974), and the University of Georgia School of Law (1977). While in law school, he was a teaching assistant in the university’s Terry School of Business, became a Notes Editor on the Georgia Law Review, a staff member on the Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law, and was a winner of the Richard B. Russell Moot Court. He met and married a fellow law student, Melissa Stebbins Mundell, of Darien, Georgia.
In Savannah he joined the law firm of Hunter, Maclean, Exley, Dunn, & Connerat (now HunterMaclean) where he became a partner, while continuing as a Major in the Air Force Reserves. He had served on the boards of, and as the president of, Historic Savannah Foundation and The Downtown Neighborhood Association. He served on the boards of the Savannah Association for the Blind and as President of the Citizens’ Advisory Board for the Chatham Urban Transportation Study Committee.
He was predeceased by his parents, U. S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Lewis Mundell and Elsie L. Mundell, late of Savannah. He is survived by his wife and their twins, Sarah Emmaline Mundell of Falls Church, VA, and Lee Carter Mundell, Jr., of Portland, OR.
Burial will be in a private family gathering.
Dear Melissa: I was shocked to read that Lee died....he was such a fine man, and was invaluable to me and Historic Savannah Foundation on Victorian District projects...his "pro-bono" work from the law firm extended far beyond normal. Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of such a wonderful person. Anne Horstman
