It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Edmund Lee on May 21st, 2026. Edmund was born in Taishan, China and immigrated to America in 1963. Throughout his remarkable journey of 83 years, Edmund embodied boundless kindness and unwavering strength. His wisdom and compassion left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege to know him. Edmund’s profound devotion to his wife and family was evident in every aspect of his life, and his thoughtful presence enriched the lives of those around him. He will be remembered for his generous spirit and the lasting impact he made among loved ones and dear friends.
Edmund is survived by his loving wife, Peggy Lee, brother: Richard K Lee & wife, Peck Har Lee, Richard's children: Kenneth T. Lee & wife Yee Lee, and their children Kenneth Lee Jr. & Samantha Lee, Byrne Lee & wife Bryna Lee and their children Madison, Mason, and Myles Lee; sister: Sue Har and her sons: Edric Har & wife Melissa Har and their children Elliana & Amelia Har; Patrick Har and his daughter Kaylee Har; Younger brother: Edward K Lee & partner, Pamela Chin and their son, Austen Lee; sisters-in-law: Betty Wing and her children: Richard Lee & wife, Emmeline Lee and their daughter, Hayden Lee; Ken Lee & wife, Simone Lee and their children Jarrett & Sabrina Lee; Emily Venditti & husband Al Venditti and their children Marcus & Sydney Yuen; sister-in-law: Billie Chan and her children: Alex Chan, Nicole Chan Loeb (goddaughter) & husband Jason Loeb and their children, Henry & Joshua Leob; sister-in-law: Sally Ng Briggs & husband Ed Briggs and their daughter, Nina Briggs; brother-in-law: Wilson Eng & wife Karen Eng and their children: Davy Eng; Eric Eng & wife, Tina Eng and their son, Warren Eng; brother-in-law; Philip Ng and his wife Wei Ching Ng, as well as many dear friends.
Edmund’s legacy extended far beyond his impressive career as a VP banker at Citibank in New York. He fully embraced life outside the office, pursuing passions that brought him immense happiness. As an avid bowler and enthusiastic golfer, Edmund found joy and camaraderie in every game. His culinary talents were legendary, as he delighted family and friends with countless delicious meals, creating moments of comfort and celebration around the dinner table. Edmund treasured every opportunity to travel with his wife, Peggy and family, building memories that would last a lifetime. After retiring, Edmund discovered a love for cruise vacations with Peggy—together; they spent more days at sea than on land, finding pure joy in exploring new horizons. Cruising, alongside cherished time with loved ones and friends, was truly Edmund’s happy place.
We are deeply grateful to Edmund for embodying unwavering devotion as a husband, compassion as a brother and brother-in-law, and exceptional kindness as an uncle and granduncle. Edmund was a steadfast friend whose thoughtful presence brought warmth and generosity into every life he touched. His impact was truly profound, enriching the lives of loved ones and friends alike. As we bid him farewell, we find comfort in knowing that Edmund’s memory will live in the hearts of all who knew and cared for him. He will be dearly missed, and his legacy cherished for generations to come. Rest peacefully, Edmund—your spirit and kindness will forever be remembered.
