elevated fgn17 Obituary

elevated fgn17 Back lee Chin (March 20 1946 – May 12 2024) passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones.  He was a devoted husband to Wai Ying, a proud father of his sons, Alfred and Brian and a loving Gung Gung to his grandchildren, Mason and Lorenzo.  He will be missed by his daughters-in- law, Abby and Cookie and many of his extended family and friends.

elevated fgn17 Born in Clarendon Jamaica, Joe, as he is known by many, was proud of his Chinese Jamaican roots.  Blending the two cultures together, he often spoke fondly of his childhood growing up in Jamaica, all while upholding Chinese traditions.  He moved to Canada in 1979 and started a family shortly after.  Always hard working he built a reputation based on loyalty, honesty and kindness.  

elevated fgn17 Joe retired in 2011 and spent his time rooting for his favorite sports teams, listening to music and teaching his grandchildren his favorite songs.  He leaves behind a legacy of unwavering love, humility and respect. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation.  https://rb.gy/8td6to
