With heavy hearts and much sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Hong Chong, age 86 on January 23, 2021 at 9:10 pm at Michael Garron Hospital from liver cancer. He is the beloved husband of the late Hai (Szeto) Chong and is survived by his son Gordon Chong, daughters Hannah (Chong) Yeung and husband Weng, Helen (Chong) Ngo and husband Paul, grandchildren Christopher Yeung, Melanie Yeung, the late Michael Ngo, Sarah Ngo and Serena Ngo, brothers Yuet Foo and wife Kam Chung, Kenneth and wife Roslyn. He will be greatly missed by his extended family relatives and friends.

Hong was a hardworking simple man. He married Hai Szeto in Hong Kong and came to Canada in 1957. He worked in the laundry and food industries. He was an avid sports fan, especially for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He witnessed his beloved Maple Leafs hoist the Stanley Cup in 1967 and faithfully cheered them on every year for another championship. Sadly, this wish did not come true for him. However, he was able to see the Toronto Blue Jays win back-to-back World Series and the Raptors win their first NBA championship. He enjoyed gardening and walking to Eglinton Square Mall for his weekly coffee and lunch get-together with his friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Canadian Liver Foundation would be appreciated by the family. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the funeral will be held as a private family service. There will be a virtual visitation on February 1, 2021 from 12:15-1:00 pm.
