Mr. Yat-Ching Lau passed away in Scarborough, Ontario on May 7 at the age of 92. Born in Shantou, China, he grew up with his younger sister and brother in an extended family of four uncles and their families. His family ran a premium health food business in the city northeast of the Guangdong Province. He lost his father to illness when he was only a child. His mother moved them to Hong Kong where he started work in a hardware store. His employer appreciated and valued his honesty and sincerity in dealing with customers. With the employer’s support, he opened his own small hardware store in Mongkok, Kowloon. In 1973, he emigrated to Canada with his wife and children, and he continued in the hardware business. The store he founded is being run by his partner’s family and it is still known for its honesty and sincerity. Mr. Lau always spoke proudly of the trust he had earned from his customers. He is survived by his wife Yin-Fong, son Jonathan, daughter Anna (and her husband Samson) and his grandson (Aspen).
