Lee Patrick Mahle age 60 passed away quietly at his home in Bath, NH Wednesday December 2th 2015. The son of Lawrence Mahle and Loretta Sorensen was born at Oak Knoll Military Hospital Oakland, California in 1955. In his younger years, he loved to play the organ, and put on puppet shows at the puppet theater his father had built for him. After receiving his Master’s Degree, he pursued his passion to teach. Teaching at the Fremont High School, he then taught for the military at the nearby naval base. He tried his hand working for a bank trust department for a couple years, but found his true love/gift was to teach. In 1994 he traveled to New Hampshire to teach at the Colebrook School for one season. Shortly after returning to California, Lee and his father decided to move from California to Twin Mountain, NH. Here he worked at the Mount Washington Hotel for a while until a teaching position opened up. He has taught at Dalton, Lancaster, Whitefield, and the Bath Village School before retiring. Traveling was his favorite hobby, having traveled with his parents for many years; He continued to travel with his childhood friend of almost 50 years, traveling to Europe, several locations in the states and even a couple cruises. His other hobby besides writing was driving and showing off the classic car collection. He has published a book of poems “Mimir's Well” and has received recognition by the National Library of Poetry. Lee is a proud member of the Sons of the American Legion honoring his father Lawrence Mahle, Retired Navy.
Lee is survived by his brother Lance Mahle of Grass Valley, California along with several nephews’ and extended family in Sacramento, Calif. Lee loves all animals and has had several pets, his cat Bucky, his dogs Ladd, Donna, Kessha, and Freya.
