Johnny Chun Leung Eng

Chun Yee Ng, later (1981) named Johnny Chun Leung Eng, aged 90, beloved father, husband, grandfather, brother, passed away on February 21, 2023. Johnny died unexpectedly after a short admission to the Aurora Sinai Medical ER due to complications from a recent recurrence of lung cancer - previously in remission since 2017. It was a delayed result of 40 plus years of smoking, of which he quit 30 years before. Johnny was born in Enping, Guangdong China on April 23, 1932 (Mar 18 Lunar), though on record was December 8th, 1937.

吳俊余，後（1981）改名為吳振亮，英文名Johnny，備受敬愛的父親、丈夫、外祖父、手足，於2023年2月21日逝世。吳振亮2017得到控制的肺癌——吸菸四十多年，三十年前戒菸的延後結果——近期復發，23日當天出現併發症，被送往Aurora Sinai Medical急診，不料卻很快離世。吳振亮於1932年4月23日（農曆3月18）出生於廣東省恩平市，但正式紀錄則為1937年12月8日。

Johnny is survived by his wife Lisa Sau Han Eng, sons Paul and Samuel, daughters Helen and Amy, sisters Yee Han, Yee Ling, Yee Wah, Yee Leen, and Yee Man, brother Chun Dat, granddaughter Naomi and grandson Joshua, as well as many other friends and family. 

吳振亮身後有妻子Lisa,吳秀嫻，兒子Paul與Samuel，女兒Helen與Amy，外孫女Naomi與外孫Joshua，以及他自己的兄弟姊妹綺嫻，綺玲，綺華，綺蓮，俊達，綺雯，還有其他眾多親友家人。

After a premature exit from University, Johnny’s first profession of many was as a school director and teacher of gym, music, and art. An accident while painting the school sign caused a fall, shattering both wrists. Recovery was long and its effects stayed with him forever. Required to give Chinese Communist Party Little Red Book education with ideas which he did not subscribe, Johnny helped others and himself to escape, under great risk and secrecy to Hong Kong in 1962. There he surrendered teaching for manual work - laying marble for the next 13 years. During that time, he met Sau Han, who would become his future wife. They married in 1977 after moving to Fort Nelson, Canada where they worked together at a truck stop café, beginning his third vocation as a cook and chef. They moved to Edmonton in 1978, buying a house to welcome Helen, opened a café like the one they were employed at in Fort Nelson named Brookville Café, and in 1981 received their second child in Paul. Ahead of Amy’s birth, the café closed in 1983. Samuel was born in 1987. By the grace of God and incessant prayer by Lisa Sau Han, Johnny came to faith in 1991. He would immigrate to his final worldly home to Milwaukee WI, USA in 1994. Despite old nagging injuries, Johnny focused all his energy working long hours deep into his 70’s to support the family he started late in life. He was always a joyful giver and never complained about getting older. In 2013 Johnny finally officially retired and focused on his faith and family the rest of his days. At this time his early love for calligraphy was reignited and that became his personal ministry. Near the end of his life, you would most likely see him sitting next to his pet bird in front of his computer watching all manner of sports, dreaming about eating good food, or breaking into song.

吳振亮自大學中輟，從事了多種工作。第一份工作為學校主任兼體育、音樂、藝術老師。有一次畫學校看板，不小心摔落，兩個手腕骨折，康復時間漫長，而且終生為其後遺症所苦。吳振亮無法苟同被要求研讀的中國共產黨毛語錄中的理念，因此冒了極大風險，不僅自己也幫助別人於1962年潛逃前往香港，在那裏放棄教職，從事勞力，作了十三年砌大理石的工作。期間遇見未來的妻子吳秀嫻，並於1977年遷往加拿大Fort Nelson後成婚，兩人共同在卡車休息站的小餐館工作，開始了他人生第三份職業：廚師。他們於1978年遷往Edmonton，購置房屋，迎接女兒Helen出生，並且開張了一間與他們在Fort Nelson工作地點類似的餐館，起名為Brookville Café，並於1981年迎接第二個孩子Paul出生。女兒Amy出生前，餐館於1983年歇業。Samuel於1987年出生。因著神的恩典，與妻子秀嫻不住的禱告，吳振亮於1991年信主。1994年，他遷往他在世上的最後一個家園，美國Milwaukee, WI. 儘管舊傷困擾不斷，他還是全心全力，長時間工作，直到七十多歲，維持他中年成立的家庭生計。他總是樂於給予，從不抱怨年邁。2013年，他正式退休，將餘生的心力集中於信仰與家庭。此時，他重燃對書法的興趣，也成了他的個人事工。在他最後幾年，可以常見他坐在電腦前，愛鳥陪伴一側，觀賞各種體育節目，懷想大啖美食，或是高歌一曲。

Johnny often gave his testimony to others regaling how it was that God had been there carrying him since the beginning of his life. He was honored and surprised that after being through so much - he’d made it to 90 years. Johnny built his life around providing for his family. His time enjoying life away from toil was short. May he find deep rest in the loving arms of Christ in heaven. His youthful energy and joyous spirit will be greatly missed. 

吳振亮常常對人作見證，是神打從生命開始就一直提攜著他。他深感意外並有幸經歷人生風風雨雨，卻活到九十歲。他的生命恆常以供應家庭為主軸。勞苦之餘，他享受生命的時間並不多。深願他在天上，在基督愛的懷抱中得到深遠的安息。他旺盛的精力與喜樂的心靈將受人懷念。
