Mr. Wai Sen Chow

July 8, 1938 - April 29, 2015

In his 76th year, Wai Sen Chow passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, April 29, 2015 at Vancouver General Hospital surrounded by the love and support of his family.

Wai Sen emigrated from Guangdong, China at age 13 to join his father, the late Bing Chow, and later his mother, the late May Thew Woo Chow. He was an entrepreneur at heart – he ran a billiard/snooker hall, managed rental properties, and ran a successful supermarket business in Duncan, B.C. (W.S. Supermarket) before the days of the superstore. After retiring, he moved to Vancouver to be closer to his children. Wai Sen had a knack for financial facts, trivia information and people’s names. His ability to strike a conversation with anyone is legendary. Most of all, he will be greatly missed and remembered for his devotion to his family.

Wai Sen leaves behind his loving wife of 51 years, Gail Yuet Ngo, and his children Donna (Phil), Diane (Mike), Peter (Angela), Tracy (predeceased by David) and David. He will be deeply missed by his cherished grandchildren Nicholas, Lucas, Matthew, Jacqueline, Lauren and Ryan. He also leaves behind his sister

,

extended family, and long-time friends from Duncan.
