My thoughts are with Mr Kong's family and friends at this time. Mr. Kong was a beloved teacher at SunnyView and brought the love of science to many students - encouraging many of us to dream about possibilities. While Mr Kong was not my teacher, unfortunately, he always opened his room to welcome a student's curiosity and desire to learn. With sympathy,

Very sorry to read about the passage of Donald Kong. I can clearly recall Don back in the years 1953 through to about 1959, there abouts, when we was all living as neighbours on Mutual Street, inner city, of Our Toronto. Deepest condolences to Vivian, Babe, Tim and his Family. The end Alfie 888
