Obituary of Hung Chow

CHOW, Hung

June 23, 1926 - October 13, 2021

 

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hung Chow, of Calgary, Alberta, on Wednesday, October 13, 2021. He passed away peacefully after a life well lived.

 

Hung was born in 1926 in Sunwui, Guangdong Province, China to father Lau Chow and mother Chat Lau. He was educated in Sunwui but had to leave for Guangzhou and then to Hong Kong due to the Sino-Japanese War. He married his beloved wife Pu Yuk in 1951 in Hong Kong. Hung worked for Tian Tian Daily newspaper before opening his own printing business. After retirement, Hung and Pu Yuk emigrated to Calgary in 1983 to join their daughter Winnie and her family. He enjoyed visits from families of Steve (Hong Kong), Maurice (Ottawa) and Roselle (Edmonton).

 

Hung loved good food and he looked forward to his excursions to try new restaurants. He loved watching Chinese soap operas and sports of all kinds, most of all soccer, waiting with great anticipation for every upcoming Euro or World Cup. He read multiple newspapers and watched the news religiously and was always eager to discuss current events with all who would listen. But most of all, he enjoyed the company of his grandchildren, relishing in their accomplishments, and always waiting for that opportune moment, with a characteristic twinkle in his eye, to make a witty joke with them.

 

He is survived by sons, Steve (Yvonne) and Maurice (Linda); daughters, Winnie (Patrick) and Roselle (Gordon); six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Hung was predeceased by his wife of 54 years, Pu Yuk, in 2005.

 

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a Private Service will be held. The family respectfully decline all flowers and funeral honoraria. Condolences, memories and photos can also be shared and viewed here.

 

In living memory of Hung Chow, a tree will be planted in the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Chapel of the Bells, 2720 CENTRE STREET NORTH, CALGARY, AB T2E 2V6, Telephone: 403-243-8200.

周洪先生喜愛美食和到新食肆嘗鲜。他愛看電視劇,亦是各種體育節目捧場客,尤愛足球, 經常引頸以待世界杯和歐洲杯。他飽覽報刊,留意新聞,喜愛討論時事。但至愛是與孫兒女談笑 ;說及孫兒女的學業事業時,眼溢慈光。
