Celebrating the life of
Frank P. Lee
September 02, 1941 - March 03, 2012
Frank Perdue Lee, 70, passed away peacefully Saturday, March 3, 2012, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous battle with cancer. His parents, William and Mary Frances Lee, preceded him in death.
Frank was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee and grew up in Jacksonville Beach, Florida where he was a lifeguard with the American Red Cross Life Savings Corp. He had lived in Savannah, Georgia since 1975. Frank received a BS in Education from Florida State University, and began a teaching career in Jacksonville, Florida. In 1966, he became a Special Agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, where he went from being "the revenuer" chasing bootleggers and sitting on liquor stills to an expert on arson and explosives. When he concluded his career with ATF, he was the lead agent on the mail bombing case in Savannah, and its successful prosecution. After 27 years of federal service, he started his own business investigating fire scenes and also returned to teaching. He was an instructor at FLETC, and worked for SAIC teaching first responders to investigate bombings for the past 15 years. He had a passion for his job, his associations with those he worked with, and met all challenges that came his way.
Frank was a member of St. John's Church in Savannah and formerly St. Francis
of the Islands Episcopal Church where he served on the vestry and as Senior Warden.
Frank is survived by his wife of 48 years, Pamela, his daughter Lauree Watkins Trace, and son William Lee Monique and four "perfect" granddaughters, Mallory and Morgan Watkins, and Lindsay and Lauren Lee. He also leaves brothers Jonathan, Michael, and sister Susan, their spouses, several nieces and nephews, his mother-in- law Edith Hanvey and brother-in-law Robert Hanvey.
Visitation will be held at Fox and Weeks Funeral Directors, Islands Chapel on Friday, March 9th from 5:00pm until 7:00 p.m.
A Christian burial service will be conducted at St. John's Church in Savannah on Saturday, March 10th, 2012 at 11:00 am. Burial will be private
.
Remembrances may be sent to St. John's Church, St. Francis of the Islands Episcopal Church, The American Cancer Society or The American Red Cross.
The family would like to thank the devoted staff of doctors and nurses for their excellent care particularly Doctors Yannucci, Thompson, Hunter, and Nurse Carla Lasseter.

Dear Family Lee. I am very sad to hear of Frank's passing and I offer my sincere condolences. Frank, as an older member of the ARCVLSC when I joined W'64, had a positive impact on my life that I didn't realize at the time and Frank didn't know about until years later. So, 'Good on 'ya Frank and, God speed.'

Daddy, I will always consider our time together as one of the greatest gifts you ever gave me. You were the type of father that a daughter could admire. Your remarkable strength and courage facing cancer and your one of a kind love story with Mom are your lasting legacy. I will really miss you Daddy but have great comfort in knowing that you have eternal life with our Lord in heaven. Thank you for sharing your incredible life with us....your family will always love you!
- Lauree Watkins, Suwanee, GA
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in the fond memories of your loved one. The Bible also offers words of comfort during times of bereavement.

We love you Frank and will keep you in our heart always.

John and family - sorry to hear about the passing of Frank. He was a great guy and I always enjoyed being around him. In fact, when I was initiated into the Life Saving Corps at Jacksonville Beach, Frank decided that he was going to toss me into the surf, which was a tradition at the time. We wrestled around and he got me into the water since he was 2x my size but we developed a mutual respect for each other henceforth. God's speed Frank.
- Monnie Beach, Iowa City, IA
When I first met Frank we were high school students and played in the Jacksonville Youth Orchestra. Frank was recovering from two broken legs.

- Harvey Warnock, Atlantic Beach, FL
Frank Lee - A man who never backed down from anyone when he knew he was right. A man who would bend over backward to help you learn and improve yourself. A legend that helped make ATF the perennial international leader in arson investigations. God speed Frank and may he bless your family and give them comfort.
- Stephen Brady, Tampa, FL
Pam - My heart hit my throat when I saw the notice in the paper - I have many memories of Frank and all his cohorts in their office across the hall from ours. Perhaps it was not all that professional, but our interactions with them surely did make the workday go more smoothly with the friendships we all developed. And Frank's smile and crinkly-eyed laugh always put the stamp on the conversations. He will be remembered.
- Sally Little, Savannah, GA
I have many fun memories of chasing bootleggers & raiding stills with Frank in 1969 & 1970. Frank is a good family man; outstanding agent & special friend. Pam; you & family will be in our daily prayers. May God bless you with many fun memories, peace & confort. In Christian Love, Riley & Rachel

I had the honor and privilege of working with Frank during the last 15 years of his active law enforcement career. Frank was one of the most talented and honorable investigators I have known. His diligence and tenacity were coupled with true caring for the victims for whom he sought justice. His wry smile and sense of humor were a welcome relief to the seriousness of the work he pursued. I was lucky to share many rounds of golf with Frank and his long-time good friend and former ATF Agent John Rowden who Frank has now gone to join. Frank, a GREAT man, and kind friend will be truly missed. May God accept his soul and bring Peace and Comfort to his entire family.

I had the privilege of having Frank as my training agent when I arrived in Savannah in 1988. It was my first day in the office and Frank left to immediately come back and say the following ' unless youro sick or in court, if an agent asks for help you better help or I will make sure you are fired' I live by those words 25 years later. Frank was one of the best investigators I have had the honor to work with. I still remember his tiparillos. I know Frank and John Rowden will be playing some golf with their 'surveillance sticks' . Frank was old school and made sure he taught the younger agents well. To the Lee family you are in our thoughts and prayers in this most difficult of times.
- Aladino Ortiz, Mexico City,
We will miss our brother/brother-in-law Frank, but know that he is in a better place without pain. It was so important to us to spend time with him Wednesday and Thursday and be able to tell him how much we loved him and would miss him.

Pam, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I thank God for the privilege of knowing Frank and working with him. Frank was a very gifted person in his work and life.

I had the privilege of having Frank as my training agent when I arrived in Savannah in 1988. It was my first day in the office and Frank left to immediately come back and say the following ' unless youro sick or in court, if an agent asks for help you better help or I will make sure you are fired' I live by those words 25 years later. Frank was one of the best investigators I have had the honor to work with. I still remember his tiparillos. I know Frank and John Rowden will be playing some golf with their 'surveillance sticks' . Frank was old school and made sure he taught the younger agents well. To the Lee family you are in our thoughts and prayers in this most difficult of times.

We will miss our brother/brother-in-law Frank, but know that he is in a better place without pain. It was so important to us to spend time with him Wednesday and Thursday and be able to tell him how much we loved him and would miss him.

I thoroughly enjoyed knowing Frank through work and playing golf. We had much success with work and not much with golf. There were many people who thought highly of Frank with me being one of them. He will be missed. Paul Lucas

Going to miss my first cousin and that big smile of his. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his loving family
- Bill Perdue, Buford, GA
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If there is a regret, it is that I spent so little time with a first cousin during our time together on this earth. I wish our lives had crossed paths so much more than they did. God Bless you and your family.

Pam, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I thank God for the privilege of knowing Frank and working with him. Frank was a very gifted person in his work and life. I look back to those days and cherish the times I spent with Frank Lee, John Rowden, Perry Boatright and Sonny Strickland. Those were some good times and I'm a better person for having known them. Go with God Frank and God Bless your Soul. You will surely be missed by all. F. Byron Stewart Retired ATTU/GBI Agent Dublin, Georgia
