Lee Cisneros

Lee Cisneros, age 94, of Cohasset, formerly of Akron (Ohio), Braintree, and LaFerea (Texas), passed away peacefully surrounded by family on August 18, 2015. Lee was the beloved husband of 69 years of the late Dorothy (Farmer) Cisneros; and the loving father of Ronald L. of Cambridge, Kenneth R. of Cohasset, and Timothy L. of San Francisco. He was the grandfather of Michael, Bryce, and Connor Cisneros. Lee is survived by his daughters-in-law, Betty and Debbie; and his son-in-law, Drew. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Patricia Flowers of Texas, and her daughters Patty and Linda; his niece, Julie Siestreem of New York; and numerous other nieces and nephews. 

Lee was a member of the Morgan Horses Association, and raised and showed prizewinning Morgan horses. He was an early president of the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce) in Braintree. He was an avid photographer whose work can be seen on public display in numerous venues throughout the South Shore. His illustrious career in the logistics industry afforded him the opportunity to travel the world, for both business and pleasure. Due to Lee’s expertise in logistics, the U.S. military designated him as one of a handful of civilians whose services were essential to the defense of the nation in time of war. He loved to dance, and was particularly fond of, and adept at, the cha-cha.
