September 8, 1950 – July 12, 2026
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of William H. Lee, who left this world leaving a legacy of love, compassion, and a vast number of cherished memories. William was the beloved husband of Claudette Larcher for 42 years. They shared a life of love, companionship, and unwavering devotion.
William was the cherished son of the late Hugh and Patricia Lee and the eldest son of three boys. Left behind to remember his legacy are his brothers Ted and Clarence Lee. William was a much-loved uncle to many nieces and nephews. He leaves behind many beloved friends.
An adventurous soul from a very young age, William was in the Navy for 8 years and only left because of medical issues. He loved his experiences in the Navy and some of his best life-long friends were Navy buddies. He talked about his days in the Navy with the fondest memories.
There will be no funeral. William will rest at the Civic Memorial Cemetery on Second Avenue, which will be announced at a later date.
RIP Billy. My condolences to Claudette. Until we meet again, my friend.
