George Leung Obituary

George H. Leung
June 30, 1928 - September 14, 2020
George H Leung passed away peacefully at the age of 92 of complications due to lung cancer. George will be remembered as a loving husband to his wife Annette of 69 years, loving and devoted father to four children, Gary (Lola), Galen (Jenny), Gayla (George), Gale (Mike), loving grandfather to nine grandchildren, Sandy (Dennis), Serena (Alex), Jordan, Traci, Eric, Ryan, Alex (Taylor), Jasmine (Austin), Stephanie and three great grandchildren Mason, Natalie, and Casey. He is also survived by older brother Lincoln, older sister Vicky Chang, many nieces and nephews, and predeceased by sisters Laura Lew and Florence Leong.
George will be remembered as a hard-working son, a loving husband, a fun loving and devoted father, grandfather and great grandfather, but most of all, for his enigmatic dimpled smile and his kindness. It is our hope that his life touched yours in some way that inspired you to be your best and pass it forward.

Private services were held at Olivet mortuary on Sunday, September 20th. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made in memory of George H Leung to Department of Oncology, UCSF School of Medicine, 505 Parnassus Ave., SF, CA 94122. A memorial and celebration of life will be announced at a later date after the end of the pandemic.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

George and his family have been outstanding citizens in the Bay Area for decades, quietly paving the way for others to add their contributions to the community. George (and Annette) always presented a cordial platform when we presented our inquiries about the community, and encouragement to pursue those avenues. George, the citizen and friend, will be greatly missed.
