Lee Repko and Ross met as adults, and Ross's Uncle role expanded once again. They were instantly simpatico and clearly shared the Willows spirit. Like his uncle, his mother, Judy Willows, and cousin, Thomas Scott, Lee gravitated towards the worlds of arts and entertainment. He launched a record company, managed musicians and organized events. Now, having trained as a surveyor, he thrives on traveling through the beautiful wilds of Canada.

The bon vivant Willows were all party people, specialists in making the good times roll. But they also had in common a gift for devoted parenting.
