HENRY JONG LOWE

July 16, 1923 to September 7, 2016

Passed away peacefully at Four Elms Retirement Residence on Wednesday September 7, 2016 with his loving wife Phyllis by his side. Beloved father of Ron and Bonnie (Ian), and Grandpa of Angela Young. Dear brother of Violet Cheng, Mabel Chow and predeceased siblings James, Charles, Frank, Rose and Mary. Henry will be remembered as a champion on and off the tennis court, and will be sadly missed by his close family, sisters and brothers-in-law, many nieces, nephews and friends.

Many thanks to the staff at Four Elms Retirement Residence for their care and support for Henry, with a special note of appreciation to Vilma.

Saddened by the passing of my Father-in-Law but pleased that he was at the Residence with Phyllis at the end. Remember fondly the times spent with Henry during our visits back to Canada and during Henry and Phyllis' two visits to Australia. Couldn't match him on the tennis court whenever we had a chance to play. Remember Henry's keen interest in the horses and that he would head off by himself to the off track betting establishments in Brisbane. A kind, generous and warm gentlemen and always a wonderful host. RIP Henry.

Today, we celebrate the life of an amazing man who had incredible strength, kindness and warmth - one who I couldn't always see but always cherished. I'll remember the special times we spent together and treasure the memories we made. From big Chinese family banquets, to watching tennis and swapping stories, I'll never forget the moments we shared. I'm so glad I was able to see you in Canada last year so we could catch up before you left this world. After 6 years too long, this meant so much to me and despite some signs of slowing down, your appreciation of the little things in life truly warmed my heart. I'll miss your endearing giggle and cheeky wink, your undivided attention and your zest, but most of all, I'll miss you.

You'll always have a special place in my heart, Grandpa - I love you and goodbye.

I’m in Ottawa so I won’t make the funeral. That's a great photo of Henry. It’s how I remember him.

At 93, great longevity. I’m sure the tennis helped. A Chu spouse that had a long life to match. He also seemed to be one of the keen Mahjong players at the Roslin gatherings we grew up with.

On the tennis court Henry told me hit the ball harder. He was great tennis player sociable but competitive with great style.
