Support Lee's Funeral Arrangements in His Memory

Donation protected
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our dear friend, Norbert Lee Bregenzer, who left us on August 8, 2024. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on February 17, 1937, Lee served his country with honor in the US Navy from 1950 to 1962, and was a proud Korean War veteran. Lee was admitted to San Bernardino Hospital on June 18, 2024 and later transferred to Loma Linda VA Hospital, where he faced a series of challenging health issues, including a bladder infection caused by prostate cancer radiation. Despite multiple blood transfusions, he battled further complications such as a gall bladder infection, UTI, low blood pressure, and ultimately kidney failure.

Lee will be remembered for his patriotism, his gift of gab, and his boundless curiosity. He had an extraordinary ability to make friends wherever he went, engaging in long conversations and taking a genuine interest in others. Honest, hardworking, and caring, Lee touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.

In honor of Lee's memory, we are raising funds to cover the expenses of his funeral arrangements. These funds will go to his wife MaryAnn Wilson, who is managing all the details during this difficult time. The money raised will help cover the costs of the funeral services, coffin, priest, viewing venue, and food. Your generosity in supporting this cause is deeply appreciated and will ensure Lee receives the dignified farewell he deserves.
