Wen-shan William Wu
Our beloved father, William Wenshan Wu, was born in Taiwan on October 17, 1928, and passed away peacefully on August 3, 2026. He is now rejoicing with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is now also united with his beloved wife of 65 years, Ruth, and his son-in-law, Ray, in heaven.
William was the eldest of seven children at home during the era of Japanese-governed Taiwan. He was educated in the Japanese language in Taipei. He was a diligent and intelligent student, consistently placing at the top of his class every year. He graduated from National Taiwan University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
He and his family immigrated to Canada in 1972. He was hired by Flakt (later ABB), a Swedish company, as an engineer and worked there until his retirement in 1993 at age 65. Throughout his career, he was highly respected and trusted by management, and had numerous opportunities to travel to Sweden and other parts of Europe for work and leisure.
He lived a diligent and fulfilling life, raising five daughters with love. Today, he leaves behind a flourishing family: five daughters and four sons-in-law; eleven grandchildren and eight grandchildren-in-law; and fifteen great-grandchildren, all of whom carry on his legacy. In his final moments, his children were by his side; his face was serene, as if he had simply fallen asleep and returned to his heavenly home.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7, KJV)

Our beloved elder brother William, your long and meaningful life was an excellent example for us. We are going to miss you dearly. May you rest in peace!
William was most humble person I’ve known within our Wu’s family! In several occasions when we were discussing mechanical issues with other parties, although he was expert in many systems he was so polite not to express his expertise (just smile and nodding) until someone urgently asking his opinion then he would quietly say something…, perhaps it’s because he was raised in the traditional Taiwanese/Japanese culture?
