It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Yan Wing Li. He was born February 20, 1951, in Hong Kong, the son of Kwok Keung Li and Pik Lin Chan Li. He was the oldest of five siblings. Wing also leaves behind his wife, Cecilia, for whom he devoted his life to for over 45 years and enjoyed traveling throughout the world by her side, and his daughter, Melinda, his proudest achievement. He also leaves behind his son-in-law, Andrew and his grandchildren Lexi and Andy where his gentle soul lives on.

Wing graduated from the University of Western Ontario as an electrical engineer and was a lifelong employee of Nortel where he specialized in design. He was passionate about designing amplifiers, speakers, and home improvements to name a few. He could usually be found working on circuit boards, creating new designs, making furniture or remodeling the kitchen.

Outside the home, he enjoyed long hikes, riding his bike all day long throughout Toronto, swimming in the ocean, and traveling all around the world.

Wing was a compassionate, patient and gentle person. He was brilliant and had many talents. His friends and family will deeply miss his kind heart and beautiful smile, but his memory will live on in all who knew him and so to, his legacy.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Yan Wing Li.
