Yim Tong (Tony) Seto, dearest husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully at home at the blessed age of 94 on March 6, 2026.
Born January 1, 1932, in Shanghai (China), Tony grew up in Guangdong, Hoiping. Upon completing his education in his late teens, he immigrated to Canada where he eventually established himself as a successful restaurateur. Tony returned home to Hong Kong in 1961, where he met and married his wife Shuet Lai (Shirley). Together, they settled in Canada and started a family, initially in Port Elgin, Ontario and later in Milton, Ontario. In 1966, the family of five moved to Toronto where the family grew to seven; and where Tony now rests.
Tony is survived by his loving wife of 64 years; their five children: Caroline (Gordon), Irene, Albert, Alice (Mario), and Andrew (Theresa); and nine grandchildren: Andrew (Lele), Ryan (Carina), Jonathan, Michael, Jalen, Aaliyah, Kiran, Nicholas, and Chloe.
While appreciating your warm thoughts, prayers, and support during this time of deep sorrow, the family has requested that no condolence visits be made. A private service will be held at the family's request.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity of your choice.
