    Melvin LeRoy "Lee" Cole, 88, of San Bernardino, California passed away on May 22, 2014 from complications of a falling injury sustained six months earlier near his home. He was born Feb 20, 1926, in Huntington (Sebastian Co), Arkansas, youngest child of Fred Clint & Elizabeth Dosia (Harrison) Cole, who were married in 1909. Lee was married three times, first to Barbara Anderson in Seattle, Washington (1947), second to Irmgard Schoennauer in Ellensburg, Washington (1955), and third to Olga Garza in Monclova, Mexico (1964). He attended elementary school in Barling, Arkansas and high school in Fort Smith, Arkansas, served in the Navy during World War II (1942-1946), graduated from Seattle University (1951), served in the Air Force during the Korean War (1952), worked for the Social Security Administration (1955-1958), and worked as a part-time teacher and self-employed entrepreneur the years following, both in Mexico and United States, until his retirement in about 1990. Lee is survived by two sons from his marriage to Irma; and a daughter and son from his marriage to Olga. He is also survived by his three grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred (1888-1970) and Dosy (1892-1928); sisters Neva Ethridge (1912-1989), Virginia Irene Kral (1921-2008), Vivian Eileen Smith (1924-1997); and brothers Lloyd Cole (1914-1974), Everett Ray Cole (1917-1982), and James Murl Cole (1919-1993). At his wish, Lee's body was cremated shortly after his death, and his cremains were interred with Navy Honors at Dallas-Fort Worth National Veterans Cemetery in Texas on June 24, 2014.
