Our family is deeply saddened to inform you that our beloved father, Richard Ping Fai Lai, has returned to his heavenly home in the afternoon of August 28th, 2021.

His funeral will be on Saturday September 4th at the Elgin Mills Cemetery in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Visitation begins at 9am, followed by service at 10am.

Richard always smiled and looked very content. He made people feel easy to be around him. We are happy to see him at the Alumni Christmas dinner every year and other special events. I am sad to know he left us so soon. May he rests in peace!
