Yuen QUAN Obituary
October 10, 1928 - December 23, 2013
Born in Kwantung, Hoy Ping, China and passed away in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad. He was a great person and loved by all who met him. Our Dad was a loving husband to our Mom, a great Dad to all of us, a fantastic grandfather and even better greatgrandfather. He was loyal to all his friends and was always there if anyone needed help. Dad will be missed by our Mom, Chui Wan Quan and all us kids, Connie; Hugh & Lisa and grandkids Emily & Angus, Jason, Monica and great grandkid Kieran; Ho & Cecilia and grandkids Jeremy and Megan; Andrew (son in law) and grandkids Jacynta and Aidan; Louella & Randy and grandkids Justine, Lucas & Christine, Devon & Lisa and Christine & Dwayne and great grandkids Sierra & Gaven; and the youngest daughter Marjorie. Service will be held on Sunday, December 29th at 11:00 AM at Glenhaven Memorial Chapel, 1835 East Hastings, Vancouver. The burial service will follow at Ocean View Burial Park, 4000 Imperial Street, Burnaby at 1:30 PM. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Lung Association.

Dear Quan family,
The Woo family offers its deepest condolences. Your father and our father were lifelong friends and regularly met for coffee at their favourite McDonald's restaurant. Our father spoke very highly of your dad, praising him for his handyman skills around the house, his unwavering loyalty to his friends and his passion for keeping the "Toishan" culture alive and well in Vancouver's ever-changing Chinatown. His presence will be greatly missed by his coffee friends. May Lui (nee Woo)

One of the simple dinners my Daddy made for me every Friday, he never wanted me to go hungry!

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Jack did so much to help my parents at their time of need. I was very young at that time, but I always remember how important a person he was to my parents and our family. I too will miss him. Take care and God Bless.
