Peninsula Daily News Port Angeles, Washington November 1, 2007 Leo Clarence Lake Jr. April 30, 1921 - Oct. 6, 2007 Port Townsend resident Leo Clarence Lake Jr. died in Kah Tai Care Center of congestive heart failure and a stroke. He was 86. He was born to Presbyterian missionaries Leo Clarence and Beulah (Manning) Lake at their home in Sapporo, Japan. After being home-schooled by his parents until 1934, he completed high school at the American School in Japan in Tokyo. He graduated in 1938. Mr. Lake and his wife attended many ASIJ reunions, at one of which they were introduced to Japan's emperor and emperess. Anti-Japanese feelings prevented his serving with the military when he first attempted to enlist. Being fluent in Japanese from birth, he served as interpreter for the Port Townsend-Ichikawa Sister-City Exchange. In the States, Mr. Lake was employed 35 years by Yamaha Corp. as a mechanical engineer and national service manager. His specialty was the internal combustion engine. He went into partial retirement in 1995, moved to Port Townsend in 1996 and completed his retirement in 2005. He was a member of the Society of American Engineers, Escapees, Wapiti Nomads RV Club and Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. His interests included writing, RV camping, motorcycle riding, radio-controlled gliders and sailing. He also enjoyed library-sponsored programs, video movies and computer solitaire. His first marriage, to a woman with whom he had two children, ended in divorce about 1950. Survivors include his wife, Kaye H. Lake, whom he married Aug. 7, 1977, in Spokane; son and daughter-in-law Mike and Paulette Lake of Redmond, Ore.; daughter-in-law Helen Lake of Grass Valley, Calif.; stepsons Mike Sunderlin of Corona, Calif., and Clark "Skip" Colony of Seattle; daughter Sharon Hasty of Leadville, Colo.; stepdaughter Daurel Carhart of Jacksonville, Ore.; brother and sister-in-law the Rev.
