William Wei-Ming Wu

William was born on June 6, 1940 in China. He married his wife, Ann, in 1969, and moved to the United States in 1977, where they raised two children, Edward and Grace.

In his public life, William had a passion for business. His pride and joy was his company Aminco International, named after a combination of his Chinese nickname and his wife's first initial, in loving tribute to her role in his success as both beloved wife and partner. He worked tirelessly his entire life to build his company, and as a result, was able to participate in several once-in-a-lifetime events, including walking in the Parade of Nations during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and running in the Olympic Torch Relay for the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics. He was also active in his community serving on the Board of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Kiangsu-Chekiang-Shanghai Association of the USA, and the Bowers Museum.

In his private life, William cherished his family and friends, and enjoyed traveling, playing golf, karaoke, and spending time with his two grandchildren, who are the absolute apple of his eye.

William is survived by his wife of 50 years, Ann, his two children Edward and Grace, his brother, his sister, and his two grandchildren, Sophie and Macy.

He will be sorely missed as a husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

吳維民，敬愛的丈夫和慈祥的父親於2020年1月23日在全體家屬的陪伴下，結束與癌症病魔的搏鬦，安祥地離開人間。

吳先生1940年6月6日生於中國，1969年和Ann成婚。1977年移民至美國加州橘縣，在那成家立業。養育一對兒女Edward和Grace。

吳先生畢生貢獻事業不遺餘力。創立Aminco公司名稱就是他和Ann名字的合成。倆人白手起家。吳先生全心投入事業，吳太太除了相夫教子外，也是吳先生事業上的夥伴。四十多年的合作建立了Aminco王國。Aminco曾經多次獲得國際及美國奧林匹克委員會的榮譽授權使用商標。1996年Atlanta奧運會受邀參加美國代表隊的遊行，2002年Salt Lake City冬季奧運會時手持聖火火炬跑步傳遞。是第一位華人的殊榮。

吳先生事業有成之餘也熱心服務貢獻社區。曾經擔任橘縣臺美商會會長，蘇浙滬同鄉會會長及Bowers Museum理事。休閒時帶給家人和朋友歡樂，多次旅行，打高爾夫球，唱卡拉OK，跟孫女打籃球。

吳先生留下了結婚五十年的太太Ann，兒子Edward，女兒Grace及兩位聰明活潑美麗可愛的孫女Sophie和Macy。這兩位孫女是他眼中的天使。

吳先生將被深深地懷念是位丈夫，父親，外公，朋友，及導師。
