Tommy CHU Obituary

CHU, Tommy Mo Yee With great sadness, we announce Tommy's passing on December 6, 2017. He was predeceased by his first wife Betty and second wife May. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Sharon (David), sons Walter (Jeannette), Calvin, Wayne (Tanya) and Wilson, and grandchildren Ashley, Matthew, Hailey and Rylee. Tommy built a memorable piece of the Edmonds community with his first and lasting produce store, Tommy's Market, established in 1964 just shortly after he migrated to Canada from Guangzhou, China in 1957. Tommy's Market was his pride and joy and he will be deeply missed by the community. Tommy was well known for his kindness and infectious smile. He loved to share his talent in the kitchen, passing on his authentic recipes to his children and grandchildren. A Visitation will take place at Forest Lawn Funeral Home (3789 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby, BC) on Sunday, December 17, 2017 from 7pm to 9pm. A celebration of life will take place at Forest Lawn Funeral Home at 10 am on Monday, December 18, 2017. Forest Lawn Funeral Home 604-299-7720 www.ForestLawn-Burnaby.com

My deepest sympathy to the family.
Mr. Chu Mo Yee was one of my Dad's (Tung Chi Hing) best friends. Now they were both in better place, having a heart-felt chat.
Indeed they were from the same village, North Village of Guangzhou. "Mo Yee" this name was mentioned many many time in front of me while in Hong Kong and in Canada, just like Mr. Chu's legacy will be echoing forever.
God bless to Chu family.

Dear Walter, Calvin, Wayne, and Family, I just learned the passing of Tommy. Tommy came to Canada seeking a bright future like most young men that had a dream. Tommy dedicated his life to raising his children and grand children. He endured many hardship when he started his business on Edmond Street, but had guidance through family and friends has achieved his goals in making a good life for himself and family. Coming to Canada and struggling to learn the language while running a business speaks volumes of the type of man he was. He and his wife Betty was a tireless couple that worked hard who gave their children the work ethics to accomplish anything they set out to do. In the earlier years Tommy and Betty will shop at the Cash & Carry and meet up with family to learn the latest news or just to catch up on the latest gossip.Tommy's family is part of the grocery business history in the lower mainland and one of the first members of the Lower Mainland Grocers Association.My sincere condolences to Tommy's family on his passing. May he rest in peace.
