Wilson Wai-Kwong Lui was born May 13th, 1937 in Hok Shan, Guangdong province, China. In his youth, he spent time in Hok Shan and greater Guangdong, eventually settling in Hong Kong by the mid-1940s. Upon the completion of his education, he enlisted with the volunteer Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force, serving until the early 1970s. He left with the rank of Auxiliary Sergeant and received recognition for faithful service. Wilson also began his career as an accountant with a local firm, and continued work with American International Underwriters.
In Hong Kong, Wilson married his wife in 1963, had his first son in 1964, and his second son in 1969. In 1974, Wilson and his family immigrated to Vancouver to begin a new life in Canada. He began work again as an accountant until he joined Canada Post, where he continued working until his retirement in 2000.
During his free time, he travelled around the world prolifically and enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Unfortunately, in March 2026 Wilson was diagnosed with cancer, and ultimately passed due to the complications of his illness. He will be loved and remembered by his wife, his sons and their spouses, his grandchildren and his family.
