In Loving Memory of Lion Phillip Lee, BBM
It is with deep sadness that we receive the news of the passing of our esteemed Lion, past Home Chairman Lion Phillip Lee, BBM.
Lion Phillip Lee, BBM was a man of quiet strength and unwavering integrity - an individual who sought neither recognition nor praise, yet whose impact was felt by all.
As the sixth Chairman of the Lions Home for the Elders (LHE), he played a pivotal role in shaping the Home into what it is today. From its early foundations to a respected long term residential care institution with two homes in Bishan and Bedok, LHE stands as part of his enduring legacy. Yet he never once claimed credit; he preferred to uplift others, working quietly behind the scenes with steadfast dedication. As a true Lion in every sense of the word, his life embodied the Lion motto, “We Serve,” and he lived it with humility, sincerity, and grace.
For many people, Lion Phillip Lee, BBM, was more than a leader. He was a mentor, a guide, a steady presence who offered thoughtful advice both personally and professionally. He introduced some of them to the Lions movement, planting in them the desire to serve, just as he had served, selflessly and wholeheartedly. His encouragement was constant. His smile, gentle, reassuring, and sincere, left an imprint on many lives.
Board Members and Trustees, past and present, recall how he supported them through their own leadership journeys. Staff remember his kindness, his non-judgmental nature, and the way he always asked if they were doing well.
We bid farewell to a much-loved senior Lion, a leader who never demanded attention, yet commanded the deepest respect. We mourn the loss of a “gentle giant” in our Lions movement, a man who served with dignity borne out of genuine love for the community.
May Lion Phillip Lee, BBM rest in eternal peace. We salute him, we thank him, and we treasure the legacy he has left behind—a legacy of kindness, humility, service, and unwavering integrity.
He shall be dearly missed.
But he shall never be forgotten.
