King was born in Toi Shan China in 1933 and came to Canada at age 17. He married May in 1957 and built a successful life, first in farming (in Cloverdale) and then real estate. He was a man of many talents, a lifelong learner with a passion for travel and good food. He was active in the community serving on several boards of Chinatown’s associations. Above all, he was a family man and he will be dearly missed.
