John Ah Sun Lee, 88 years old, was born on April 20, 1936 in Canton, China. John was a devoted husband, father, godfather, brother, godbrother, uncle, grandfather and friend. His strong work ethic and unwavering commitment to family defined his life. John immigrated to Hawaii as a teenager and attended McKinley High School. His first job was a poetry contributor at a Chinese newspaper on Maunakea Street in Honolulu, Hawaii. John wrote beautiful Chinese poetry about the ocean and his favorite flower, orchids. Then John spent the rest of his career as a hardworking warehouseman at C.S. Wo & Sons for over 40 years. John worked tirelessly to provide for his 5 children. His legacy will carry forward with his 10 grandchildren.
John enjoyed spending time with his family and especially looked forward to seeing his grandchildren. His favorite pastimes included playing mahjong and poker, keeping up with the news by reading the newspaper and watching television, viewing Chinese and sports programs, investing in the stock market, and taking care of the pet fishes. John did most of the grocery shopping for the family and made sure to keep the freezer well stocked of ice cream.
His dedicated wife, Alice, took loving care of John as his health declined in recent years. Alice was always at John’s side as she has been for their 56 years of devoted marriage. John was surrounded by loved ones during his final days. His family members were all able to express their love and gratitude to John for everything he did for them. He will be forever missed. In honoring John’s memory, we celebrate a life well-lived and a heart that touched many. May he rest in peace.
