He is survived by his loving wife Angela; his daughter Mimi (Will) of Vancouver; son Dennis (Theresa) of Mission; daughter Florence (Tuan) of Calgary: and 3 grandchildren, Gia, Teagan, and Nora.
George was born in Toishan, China. He was the second of five children. He moved to Canada in 1968 after living in Trinidad and Tobago, where he met his wife, Angela. George and Angela lived in Montreal, Quebec before moving to Calgary, Alberta where they owned a busy convenience store. Following this, they relocated to Mission, BC operating a small grocery store and raising their family together. Our father enjoyed a quiet retirement and settled into his routine of daily walks and reading his Chinese newspapers. He always looked forward to spending time at his church, treating his friends and family to meals and doting on his grandchildren. Our father was fond of driving, cars and tending to his sunflowers that he lovingly grew every year in the front yard. Some of his favourite travel memories include trips to Hawaii, visits to his village in China, and cruises with his family. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, and grandfather with the most kind and generous heart. George will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
The memorial services will be held on Saturday, August 26 at 1:00 pm at Forest Lawn Funeral Home. The graveside service will take place following this at 2:30 pm at Forest Lawn Memorial Park-Victoria Heights.
