David Chow

December 30, 1938 - July 29, 2008

David passed away peacefully with his family by his side after a valiant battle with cancer. His sense of humor remained his strong alias to the end.

He was the beloved son of the late, Peter and Lay Ying Wong Chow. World's greatest father to Mary (Darin) Smith, Stockton, David (Lorraine) Chow Jr., Redwood City. Loving grandfather to Ben Rivera, Kaitlin Smith, Amanda and Nicholas Chow. Special older brother to Richard (Gloria), Sam (Daisy) Chow. Numerous nieces and nephews also survive him. He will be lovingly remembered for his sense of humor, love of poker, political discussions and his compassion and sensitivity to others.

Per his wishes a family only celebration will be held. There will be no official memorial.
