Guam - John Lee, the former president of First Hawaiian Bank, has passed away. He had been in poor health battling an undisclosed illness and died this morning at the Guam Memorial Hospital.

Lee was employed with FHB for close to 50 years before retiring in 2006.

All of us at KUAM would like to extend our deepest condolence to his family, including our co-worker Joe Cruz, his stepson.
