It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Joe Chow Ping Wong in Calgary, Alberta on Monday, July 20, 2020 at the age of 81 years.
Joe was born in Toi Shan, China on December 4, 1938. He immigrated to Canada as a teenager with his father where they settled in Olds, Alberta and operated a dry cleaning business. They eventually moved to Calgary. In Calgary, he married Rose on April 22, 1968 and had three daughters. He worked for over 30 years as a custodian for the Calgary Board of Education at various schools before retiring in the year 2000.
Joe was loving, humble, kind, and hardworking. He was well-liked by all. He was always very grateful, never complaining, and enjoyed the simple things of life.
Joe is survived by his loving wife Rose; daughters Cherry (Dave), Betty (Vinh); and Judy (Dean) and grandchildren Marcus and Ellie.
Thank you to the Cardiac Function team at the Peter Lougheed Centre for providing all their care.
