南安華協的資深會員李耀霖先生於2023年12月30日在醫院辭世。李耀霖先生的離世對南安華協來說是一次巨大的損失。李先生享年百歲，曾在2001-2007擔任協會的副會長長達六年，為南安華協的發展做出了卓越的貢獻。在他的任職期間以及在協會的第二任會長吳碧君女士的倡導下，南安華協於2002年成功註冊為慈善機構，並在2003年獲得£59590的「Big Lottery社區基金」。
Mr. Yiu-Lam Lee, a senior member of the Chinese Association of Southampton, passed away on 30th December 2023 in the hospital. His demise is a significant loss for the Chinese Association of Southampton. Mr. Lee, who lived to the age of 100, served as the Vice Chair of the association for an impressive six years from 2001 to 2007, contributing significantly to the development of the Chinese Association of Southampton. During his tenure and under the initiative of the second chairperson Ms. Elly Wong, the association became a registered charity in 2002 and secured the Big Lottery Community Fund worth £59,590 in 2003.
李先生是一位傑出的書法家，他在協會的各類社區活動中展現優美的書法，與眾分享他獨特的藝術風采。此外，他曾是一位出色的大廚，在退休後仍然經常親自下廚，將美食送給協會，讓大家品味到他獨特的烹飪技藝。同時，他還常常與會員分享健康生活的心得，深受大家的喜愛。
Mr. Lee is an outstanding calligrapher who showcased his elegant calligraphy in various community activities organized by the association, sharing with everyone his unique artistic style. In addition, he was a remarkable chef. Even after retirement, he frequently cooked personally, sharing his delectable creations with the association, allowing everyone to savor his distinctive culinary skills. Moreover, he often shared insights on healthy living with the members, endearing himself to everyone.
李先生的離世，不僅是協會失去了一位卓越的長老，更是整個南安華協大家庭的沈痛損失。他的影響力和精神將長存於我們的回憶中。在這個艱難的時刻，我們深表哀悼之情，並對他留下的卓越貢獻致以最誠摯的敬意。希望大家能以他為榜樣，秉承他對協會和當地社區的熱情和奉獻精神。
Mr. Lee’s passing is not only a loss of an outstanding elder for the association but also a profound loss for the entire family of the Chinese Association of Southampton. His influence and spirit will be enduring in our memories. In this difficult time, we express our deepest condolences and extend our sincerest respect for his remarkable contributions. We hope that everyone can take him as a role model and continue to uphold his passion and spirit of dedication to the association and our local community.
百壽李生辭世哀，南安華協淚滿懷。
書法傳世妙墨香，烹飪心意味情懷。
懷念貢獻心永銘，影響永在心中回。
Hundred-year-old Mr. Lee’s passing is sorrowful; tears fill the hearts of the Chinese Association of Southampton.
His calligraphy, a wonder to pass through generations, leaves a fragrance of exquisite ink; the dedicated cooking embodies heartfelt sentiments.
Cherishing the devoted heart, forever engraved; his influence echoes in our hearts.

I will miss you, Lam suk (Uncle). You are many people’s great friends from among the wide Chinese diaspora.
Lam suk, you were also a great colleague since CAS’s formative years. At CNYs, you bravely fundraised for CAS’s vital running costs from among your former business connections when many still doubted us as a new community group.
Lam suk, you tirelessly and skilfully cooked for the newly formed weekly luncheon club which helped members to build friendships /support around each other to overcome isolation. This club became the basis for CAS members to bond and for it to grow and flourish.
We now remember you with great fondness.
Elly Wong

霖叔，我怌念你這位和謁可親，平易近人的長輩，更加上你超卓的廚藝，書法和粵曲的造旨，除了對華協的貢獻之外，你還參加教會祟拜，剛剛一年前接受了洗禮。你的離去，我雖然依依不捨，但亦滿懐安慰，因為你已經到了一個更美的家鄉與主同在，享受著永恆的福樂。願主保佑及安慰你的家人和親友。你多年的老友Peter懷念你🙏🙏
尊敬的林叔叔．．你是本會最長壽的長者也是唯一對本會定期聚會的長者．你在廚房坐著，看我煮餸、給我好的評語，多謝林叔的鼓勵。
在百歲宴裏我也有份分享你的喜樂。那天你特別開心和精神奕奕。兩月後也在華人會聚餐見到你仍談笑歡生． 怎料30/12怱聞你病逝，感到人生無常，我要好好珍惜眼前人。
我也在此向你告別．再見我的朋友！安息主懷！
息勞歸主。
求主安慰他的家人，大家保重。
霖伯我們永遠懷念你，一路好走，主懷安息。🙏🙏🙏
Rest in peace Uncle Lam! A self-made man of high principles, you are inspirational for many of us to follow your healthy, simple lifestyle of self achievement and good will among our CAS community. We shall miss your presence and remember you dearly. Jean Romsey

李爷爷，您给我和我的孩子们留下很深的印象。我们很惊讶你能在如此高龄仍然热心地为协会做贡献。我们会永远地缅怀您的音容笑貌。愿您安息，家人节哀。
So sorry to hear of Mr Lam’s passing. He was such a lovely, chirpy soul. He would always say ‘Hello’, every time I bumped into him, and always greeted me with a lovely, friendly smile. He was loved by many, and will sorely be missed. May his soul rest in peace, for evermore. Ameen 🙏🏼😇💞
