Our beloved Cheetah-brother, Joe ('59), passed on during our reunion cruise in N.E. Canada.
He was with his wife, Livia and twelve of his best friends.
The Joe I Know
I have known Joe for over seventy years, and I am blessed to have been his God-uncle, fellow Knights of the Blessed Sacrament, school-mate (in more than one school), friend, team-mate and Cheetah-brother.
He was the second child of my God-brother (Mr. Li Kan李根) and has a younger brother (Mr. John Li, 李國銘, who is living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada).
In his younger days, he was was known as the little Dragon on Pitt Street (碧街,九龍), excelling in every game and activity: Chinese Chess象棋, shuttlecock毯 and many more.
He went to Pui Ching before entering Wah Yan College, and he did well academically as well as in the sports, as he was known as Ho Ying Fun何應芬, the famous soccer/football player in the 40's and 50's in H.K., leading the Wah Yan Team to many championships.
After teaching for a couple of years, he went to the U.S. as a 苦學生, and the rest is history.
Professor Li was well regarded and contributed so much to his field that he was not allowed to retire.
He was a winner throughout; the seven consecutive wins convinced us all!
Joseph, as 契媽 said: 你真係冇得頂!
We admire you.
We respect you.
We love you.
May your rest in peace.
Len.

Accurate administrative balance
With great clarity of your mind
Not one single error
No one can ever find
Throughout weeks and months
Among the last six years combined
Full of great leadership and true love
An unique individual of mankind (Joe)

Philip Lee arrived in Winnipeg, fresh out of high school in Hong Kong, in the late summer of 1962.
The youngest of nine children from a well-to-do entrepreneurial family, Lee held a British passport. He was sponsored to Canada by his sister Angeline, who had moved to the Manitoba capital earlier to study education at the University of Manitoba.
His initial reaction upon arriving in Canada? "Wow, it's so spacious. The air is so clean," Lee said recently.
