Lester Ginn Leung Wee, 98, passed away February 04, 2018. He was born on July 26, 1919 to Wing Yip and Choy Kim Seto Wee of Honolulu and was also raised by his stepmother, Mary Lum Wee. He was a proud graduate of both Mun Lun Chinese School and St. Louis High School, class of 1937. Lester was an honest, trustworthy and hard working man of principle as demonstrated during his tenure as Head State Bank Examiner for the State of Hawaii.
