Lee grew up in the Goose Lake area where he enjoyed animals, the country life, growing up on the farm, choring, haying and baling hay with his family, countless memories with his neighbors, and being the beloved jokester. He went to Country School District 115 through 8th grade, then went on to graduate from Chambers High School in 1979. Lee met Nancy Sunderman at a Junior High Dance in Chambers and they later married on April 12, 1980 at St. Patrick Catholic Church in O’Neill, NE. They made their home in the Goose Lake area for a time before moving to the homeplace in August of 1983. The couple milked cows there for over 20 years. He continued to ranch with his son until his passing. Lee was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church of Amelia and the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing, playing softball, bowling, darts, and spending time with his family – especially his grandchildren. Lee always had a smile and kind words for everybody and was always willing to lend a helping hand to his neighbors and friends. Lee was a very devout Catholic and lived his faith daily through his actions and conversations. Lee is survived by his wife of 40 years, Nancy Tomjack, of Chambers, NE; two children, Chris (Michelle) Tomjack of Chambers, NE and Kylee (Will) Beins of Aurora, NE; two granddaughters, Calli and Breckyn Tomjack (with whom Lee always had time for a glass of milk and a piece of Nancy’s chocolate cake); four siblings, William “Bill” (Vicki) Tomjack of Chambers, NE, LaDonna (Larry) Haake of Thedford, NE, Jack (Coleen) Tomjack of Ewing, NE, Greg (Pam) Tomjack of O’Neill, NE; and parents-in-law, Rich and Shirley Sunderman; many nieces and nephews.
