In memory of

Jack Lee

July 19, 1935 -  April 12, 2017

Lee, Jack
Jackie H. K. Lee, aged 81, of Toronto, ON. died Wednesday April 12th, 2017.

Jack, son of Pansy Perritt, will be lovingly remembered by his loving wife Jess, and three sons, Jeffrey (Kathryn), Douglas (Anh), and Jason (Anthony). He will also be remembered fondly by his four grandchildren, Nathan, Fiona, Maxwell, and Sydney.

Admitted to Concordia University, Jack arrived in Canada at the tender age of 17, alone, without any family to fall back on. He promptly met Linda, his first wife, now deceased, and set about raising a family. They relocated to Toronto in 1971.

Jack worked as an accountant with the Canadian Revenue Agency until his retirement in 2001, at which time he re-dedicated himself to travel and dim sum. He visited five continents, including places such as, Peru, Costa Rica, Fiji, and Australia, as well as throughout Europe and Asia. If he wasn’t travelling you could often find him at dim sum with Jess and other family or the friends he had made in Hong Kong.

Please join us on Saturday, April 22 to celebrate his life and remember his accomplishments. Visitation and a social gathering will occur between 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. at which time we will hold a Funeral service. A private cremation for immediate family will be held afterwards.

I will remember Jack fondly from the years he started dating LInda, and was welcomed into our family - to the years raising his family and the words of wisdom he would impart to his sons, who grew up to be successful and kind men. He was pragmatic, had a sardonic sense of humour as he reflected on life, and a curiosity as he traveled the world. Condolences to his sons and their families. Love, Nancy

Jack Lee is a kind person and treat eveybody nice and fair.
To maintain contact with each other, I recall to the fact that he often redirected and sent me those emails which he thought interesting.
May he rest in peace,

Thanks to Jason Lee for reaching out to us near and far away, who undoubtedly mourn the passing of Jack Lee. For those of us in DBS’55, we suffer the loss of another dear old classmate and precious friend.

It is not co-incidental that Jack Lee left us during the Holy Week. For those of us in the DBS tradition, there is Hope, Joy, Love, Peace and Goodwill yet on earth, as it is surely in heaven, ... "from age to age an undefiled heritage."
