In memory of
Kwan Hop Yung 容關合先生

Mr. Kwan Hop Yung
July 13, 1927 – December 7, 2024
With his youngest child, Sher Peng, by his side, Kwan Hop Yung, passed away at 8:49 p.m. on Saturday, December 7, 2024, to join his beloved wife, Yu Ying Lin of 73 years.
Kwan Hop was born in Xin Hui, Canton, China, from very humble beginnings. He was orphaned at a young age and was able to overcome barriers and difficulties through true grit and determination during very hard economic times.
He met and married Yu Ying Lin when he was 20 and she was 19. Together they had eight children. Life was tough as he was away often to find work to support his growing family.
In 1973, he came to Canada sponsored by his son Robin (Sher Kang) whom he had not seen for over 13 years. He worked tirelessly in various restaurants in small towns of Ontario and saved in hopes of bringing his wife and children in China to Canada – the land of opportunity.
He and Robin started the process of sponsoring the rest of his family to come to Canada soon after. There was much back and forth and paperwork with Canadian Immigration.
On Mothers’ Day in 1979, Kwan Hop was thrilled to finally greet his wife Yu Ying, his children, Wei, Sim, Yueh Chen, Mei, and Peng at Pearson Airport after 6 years of separation.
From December 1979 – 2009, Kwan Hop and his family operated the Lido Restaurant in Milton, Ontario. He proved himself to be a smart, shrewd, and successful businessman and thoroughly enjoyed his life in Canada with many visits back to China to visit his oldest daughter Yau and her family.
He was overjoyed when his oldest daughter Yau and her family was able to come to Canada - with all his family finally reunited. He enjoyed nothing more than seeing all his family together at dim sum or dinner.
Kwan Hop was a man of deep conviction and faith that anything can be overcome by hard work and determination and that there are always better tomorrows.
He will be deeply missed by his children: Lan Yau (Ken), Sher Kang (Elizabeth), Sim (Tom), Sher Wei (Moo Chung), Yueh Chen (Zheng He), Mei Fang (Wilson) , and Sher Peng (Amanda) grandchildren: Pauline (Paul), Denny (Joy), Amy (Lin), Alex (Siu Man), Brandon, Jordan, Liana (Clinton), William (Grace), Mark, Daniel, Alan, Linda (Alvin), Denise, and Janet. Great grandchildren: Jenny, Thomas, Marcus, Kaho, Ka Yan, Ka Yi, Ka Ying, Sophia, Eloise, and Victoria.

容關合先生 1927 年 7 月 13 日至 2024 年 12 月 7 日
2024 年 12 月 7 日星期六晚上 8 點 49 分,容關合在他最小的孩子 社鹏的陪伴下去世,与他结发 73 年的挚爱妻子 林玉英团聚。
Kwan Hop 出生於中國廣东新会,出身卑微。他從小就是孤兒,能夠在非常困難的經濟時期通過真正的勇氣和決心克服障礙和困難。 他在20歲時遇到並娶了林玉英,她19歲。他們一共育有八個孩子。因為他經常外出找工作來養活他不斷壯大的家庭,因此他们的生活很艱難。
1973 年,他在已經 13 多年未見的兒子 Robin(社庚) 的贊助下來到加拿大。他在安大略省小鎮的各種餐館不知疲倦地工作,並存錢,希望能將他在中國的妻子和孩子帶到加拿大——這片充滿機會的土地。 不久之後,他和 Robin 開始贊助他的其他家人來到加拿大。经过與加拿大移民局大量的文書往來和交涉, 終於在分離多年後的 1979 年,Kwan Hop在皮爾遜機場迎接了他的妻子 玉英、他的孩子丽婵、 社伟、悦珍、美芳和 社鹏。
從 1979 年 12 月到 2009 年,Kwan Hop 和他的家人在安大略省米爾頓經營麗都餐廳。他證明了自己是一個聰明、精明和成功的商人,他非常享受在加拿大的生活,并多次回到中國探望他的大女兒连有和她的家人。 當他的大女兒连有和她的家人能夠來到加拿大時,他欣喜若狂——他所有的家人終於團聚了。他最喜歡看到全家人聚在一起吃點心或吃晚飯。 Kwan Hop 是一個有著深厚念的人,他相信任何事情都可以通過努力工作和決心來克服,而且總會有更好的明天。
他的孩子會深深懷念他:连有(勤敬)、社庚 (Elizabeth)、丽婵 (展康)、社伟(慕贞)、悦珍(仲和)、美芳(Wilson) 和 社鹏(雁冰);孫子孫女:Pauline (Paul)、Denny (Joy)、Amy (Lin)、Alex (小敏)、Brandon、Jordan、Liana (Clinton)、William (Grace)、Daniel、Allan、Linda (Alvin)、Denise、Mark 和 Janet。曾孫:Jenny、Thomas、Marcus、Kaho、嘉欣、嘉仪、嘉莹、Sophia、Eloise 和 Victoria。
愿容关合先生一路走好!
