WAYNE LUM Obituary

Remembering DR. WAYNE Y.H. LUM Dr. Wayne Yet Hung Lum, 76, a dedicated physician, passed away on March 6, 2024, surrounded by his loving family at Queen's Medical Center. Wayne attended the University of Hawai'i Lab School and graduated from Punahou School, Stanford University, and Temple Medical School. After completing his residency at Harrisburg Hospital in Pennsylvania, he opened his office at St. Francis Medical Center, where he practiced Internal Medicine for 45 years. In addition to private practice, Dr. Lum served as medical director of Kalihi Palama Walk-in Clinic, staff physician for the YMCA Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, and Internal Medicine consultant for the State of Hawaii's Developmental Division. Wayne enjoyed art and history, playing the piano, tennis, and golf. He loved to read, travel, attend concerts, watch films, and share his vast music collection of CDs, DVDs, and vinyl albums. However, his 30-year role as a proud member of the "Dancing Docs," a group of physicians who bring joy to hundreds of patients and staff through their local performances, truly expressed his love for others. His lasting legacy will be his kindness, compassion, and devotion to his patients, friends, and family. Dr. Lum is survived by sisters Lynnette Hew (Edward) and Bev Lum-Chow (Walter), brothers Carlton and Edward "Woody" Lum, and 8 nephews, 7 nieces, 4 grandnephews and 5 grandnieces. A Celebration of Life service will be held at the Community Church of Honolulu, 2345 Nuuanu Avenue, on Saturday, May 18, 2024. Aloha attire. Open visitation at 10 a.m., with services at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Palolo Chinese Home or REHAB Foundation in memory of Dr. Wayne Y. H. Lum. The family especially thanks Dr. Kuo-Chiang Lian and the team of doctors, colleagues, and staff at Queen's Medical Center for their care and support.

Dr. Wayne Lum was a great friend of our Ohana. My husband and our family were neighbors in Manoa. Stu and Wayne loved to play tennis together in their youth. For me, Wayne was the great educator for my students and eventually employer for my medical assistant graduates. He loved them and they served him and his patients well. For me, he was a friend that would always make time with me when I visited. I will always cherish the precious moments we spent. He´s certainly earned his angel wings. God Bless You, Wayne- a man of Godly and giving heart. For the Lum Ohana- me ke aloha pumehana... Rona & Stuart Chun & ohana

Dr. Wayne Lum, was more than just my physician, he presented himself as a genuinely caring individual. He always spoke wonderful encouragement into my life, during my most physically demanding periods of my life, he was a friend, as much my physician.
Dr. Lum, you are dearly missed, love and respect to you sir.
Godspeed
