Cherish what we see today as witnesses to history always fade away It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Kailua’s beloved Robert “Uncle Bob” Lee, a true American hero and one of the last civilian eyewitnesses to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Bob passed away this morning at the age of 104, leaving behind a legacy of courage, service, and an unwavering commitment to keeping history alive.🕊️ Born on October 1, 1921, in Honolulu, Hawaii, Bob grew up near the old Aiea railroad station in Navy housing overlooking the waters where history would soon unfold. A graduate of Roosevelt High School’s Class of 1940, he began building a life on Oʻahu, never knowing that one morning would forever change the course of his life,and the world. In the early hours of December 7, 1941, after returning home from an evening with friends, Bob was awakened by the thunder of explosions over Ford Island. “I was awakened by the explosions over on Ford Island, because that was the main attack,” he later recalled. “Our house was a mile, slightly more, from Ford Island. I was looking right at the Arizona when it blew up.” From his home, young Bob witnessed the horror of the attack, flames rising into the sky, smoke covering Pearl Harbor, the USS Oklahoma slowly rolling over, and the USS Arizona glowing bright red before a massive explosion consumed the battleship. It was a moment of unimaginable devastation, but also a moment that revealed the courage and compassion of ordinary people called to extraordinary action. After helping his grandfather reach safety in Halawa, Bob returned home, took up his .22 caliber rifle, and fired at the attacking aircraft. He and his mother then rushed to help wounded sailors who had escaped into the burning waters of the harbor, washing oil from their bodies at the Aiea Boat Landing and helping them return to their ships. “I can’t remember that anyone was frightened,” Bob once said. “They were very angry. As soon as they were washed off, they jumped on the boats and went back to their ships.” After the war, Bob built a life filled with love, family, and service. He married his wife, Jean, and in 1955 began a 30-year career with Pan American World Airways. Together, they raised two daughters and a son, creating a family legacy rooted in strength, kindness, and dedication. Today, we remember not only the young man who witnessed history, but the remarkable man who spent his life preserving it. Rest peacefully, Uncle Bob. Your voice, your courage, and your memories will continue to inspire generations to come. Thank you for a lifetime of service, sacrifice, and love.
