Obituary of William Lee


LEE, WilliamMarch 20, 1953 – March 19, 2016The family of William (Willie) Lee announces his passing on March 19, 2016. He leaves the love of his life, Colleen (nee Dooley), and his two children, Alexander William and Bridget Colleen. In addition, he leaves his siblings, Pauline Teramura (Ken), Rosanna (Gordie), Lory Murakami (Franklin), Ken (Sandy), Raymond, Joe (Lisa) and Edmond (Jody) along with numerous nieces and nephews. Willie was a compassionate, hardworking, devoted and loving husband, father, brother, uncle and dear friend to many. He deeply loved his family and had very close ties to his many cherished friends that he knew from grade school, high school, university days and his friendships throughout his life with his many activities. Willie graduated from U.B.C. in 1977 with a B. Comm. He articled with Deloitte, Haskins and Sells and has worked for both public and private companies throughout his career. In 1989 Willie met Colleen. They married in September 1990 and their son Alexander was born in 1991. The family moved to Victoria where Willie started a new career as C.F.O. with Sanctuary Woods Multimedia Corporation. Their time in Victoria was idyllic and they retain many fond memories of their time there. Their daughter Bridget was born in 1997. From 1989 to 2016 Willie was a C.F.O. or director of several companies. His accreditations and business acumen led him to many corners of the world which allowed him to travel extensively. Throughout his life Willie participated in many marathons, cycled, swam and worked out daily at the local gym. Willie possessed a great sense of humour, and had a quick wit. His love of cars was endearing and he knew every nuance of every Corvette ever made. His favourite pastime on a Saturday afternoon was to wash and wax his cars, whether rain or shine. He loved his telephone and was forever talking to friends or family. Willie will be dearly and truly missed by everyone who knew him. Our lives are enriched by having shared his life with us. The Lee family would like to thank Dr. Toyota, Dr. Henderson, Rosemary Cashman and the nurses and doctors of VGH, Delta Hospital, and the Irene Thomas Hospice, who cared for him so professionally and tirelessly in the last few weeks. Prayers and Visitation to take place at Sacred Heart Church, 3900 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC on Monday evening, March 28, 2016 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. A Catholic Funeral Mass will take place on Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, Ladner. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Irene Thomas Hospice or a charity of your choice, in honour of William Lee, are greatly appreciated. Delta Funeral Home (604) 946-6040
