I sadly learned about Tony today when I asked about him at the dealership. My sincere condolences to his family and friends and the family at Carter. Tony was a great person who went out of his way to make sure his customers were like family.

Rest in peace Tony, my prayers are with you and your families.

To my dear old bean “老豆”:

I didn’t know what it felt like for your heart to “break” until the moment I watched your pulse monitor drop from 45 to 35 then down to zero in the moments we took you off life support. It was devastating to see a vibrant soul like you, that was once so full of life and energy, leave us that evening. But it gives me comfort to know that you passed peacefully surrounded by the ones you dedicated your life to provide and love for. I hope you continue to be the life of the party in heaven, sell them some cars, convince God that the Canucks should win the cup this year, and just relax knowing we got mom covered.

Forever your BBL (Bo Bui Lui) “寶貝女”, Em Em.

To my dearest Dad,

A month has passed, yet the heartbreak is still hard to bear. I think of you every single day. The world feels quieter without you—like a piece of our family puzzle is forever missing. I miss you more and more as each day passes.

Every memory with you is warm and comforting—our family vacations, Sunday dinners, and the moments filled with laughter, like you jokingly imitating the Haidilao dancers. Those little things, once so ordinary, now feel like treasures I hold close to my heart.

I miss your touch, your hugs, the way your hand felt in mine. I miss your laughter, your smile, and the sparkle in your eyes that could light up any room.

Though this journey without you has been unbearably hard, I am endlessly proud of the man you were and the values you instilled in us. You taught us generosity, kindness, and the importance of making others feel seen and cared for. Because of you, we are surrounded by love—by friends and family who continue to lift us up in your absence.

We are so lucky to have had you as our dad. You were, and always will be, my hero, my role model, the first man I ever loved. You will be remembered for your kindness, your storytelling, your infectious joy, and most of all, your unwavering love for your family.

Even in your final moments, holding your hand brought me peace, just as it always has. That warmth, that comfort—I know it will never leave me. It will never be the same without you again, there's a void I can't explain. A big piece of me is with you. You'll always be with us in spirit. 

P.S. Don’t worry—Mom is taken care of.

I look forward to the day I see you again. Until then, I love you, Dad. Forever and always.

Tony …. A man who cared . He was not only a salesman  .  He will always be a good friend, and honourable to  many  indigenous people of BC . Smawn  Hereditary  Chief  of Nuxalk Nation

I knew of Tony when I started in the car industry 23 years ago, I soon discovered that he was the gold standard to follow if you wanted to achieve success in the car business.  I had the privilege to get to know him throughout the years at our product training sessions and even though we worked for different dealerships, I always had a level of admiration and respect for a man that did it the right way. Tony, you were a giant in our industry and on behalf of all the people that came after you, thank you for your dedication to the car business and to General Motors, we're all better for it.  rest in peace my friend 

Sincerely,

Dear Loresa & Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Tony Ho. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. May God’s love and comfort surround you, bringing you strength and peace.

What Tony left in me is a lasting memory of his strong passion for conversation. He had a way of engaging with people, sharing stories, and bringing warmth through his words. I will always remember and cherish those moments.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. 

With deepest sympathy,
Andrew Tang

I have known Uncle Tony since I was in high school in North Vancouver. Our friends often hung out with Stephanie and Emily at their beautiful house on top of a hill for BBQs, hotpots, birthday dinners, movie nights, and games nights. Uncle Tony always welcomed us warmly and made sure we were well fed. He let us stay for as long as we wanted and all he asked was that we bring up a plate of warm food to his bedroom so that he can chill after a long day at work and watch the Canucks game in peace. Hahaha! 
Uncle Tony is exactly what I envision when I think of "the cool uncle". He always had a smile on his face, snacks on the table, a cold drink in the fridge, and a wonderful story to tell. I fondly remember there was one night where Stephanie and Emily invited us over to their house for dinner and a movie but it was during the hockey playoffs. I was curious of the Canucks game myself so I snuck upstairs and knocked on Uncle Tony's door. He opened the door, caught off guard a bit, but welcomed me nonetheless when I told him I was interested in the game. We sat beside each other for a while watching the game while talking about our favorite Canucks players, the playoffs of 1994, and our favorite game moments. He even took time to show me some of his signed hockey stuff that he was super proud to have in his collection.
I am going to miss Uncle Tony a lot. His presence was a blessing in my life. I currently have two young daughters. If they grow up to be as close and loving  to their dad as Stephanie and Emily are to Uncle Tony, then I think that would make Uncle Tony proud as my role model. And when my daughters are in high school and have their friends over at our place, I will gladly welcome their friends to come watch the Canucks game with me as well. 
Rest in peace Uncle Tony. Thank you for all you have done for us.

I’m a high school mate and friend with your dad for over half a century. 

During our high school days, we attended weekend parties frequently ( do not let your mom know about this ), played sports, and watched football and hockey games on TV together. After finishing high school and university, we all as a group begin to drift apart. We are busy going to work every day, looking for or trying our best to secure the better half of our lives, and later taking care of our children and moms and dads. There is not much time for us to get together. However, I know in my heart everybody in our group will treasure our past with Tony and will always remember him, his jokes, his laughs, his kindness and last but not the least his ability to sell cars, lots and lots of cars.

I feel for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family.

Best regards,
Wayne

I am saddened to learn of Tony’s passing which I know you will feel deeply, nut I trust that all those wonderful memories will comfort you.

I recall many fond memories of Tony, he was quick-witted and also equipped with a sense of humour.  During the many after-school gatherings we could count on Tony to entertain us with his jokes and laughter.  Tony always greeted others other with a smile.  Tony liked playing basketball and he was very good at it as well.

Tony established a successful career selling motor vehicles but the most important thing is that he lived a happy life.  Dr. Robert Waldinger, a medical professor at Harvard University conducted an 85-year old study from 1938 to 2023 found the most important thing that makes us happy in life is positive relationships.  Tony established and maintained positive relationships with his high-school friends; furthermore, throughout his 50-year successful career he also established many positive relationships with his loyal clients.  Indeed, Tony lived a happy life which many of us try to emulate.

Although Tony is no longer with us, he left us with a legacy which is to 
establish and maintain positive relationships with family members and friends in order to live a happy life.

My heartfelt condolences!
I met Tony in the sixties (Grade 2/classmate) at Yau Yat Chuen School in Hong Kong.  I remembered Tony was a smart student and very friendly. He immigrated to Venezuela (I believe)  before graduation. Somehow he found a way to keep in touch with me and ever since. 
Later he moved to Vancouver. I still remembered, he was so nice that he took me to Victoria Park, a beautiful park in 1975 when I had my flight layover for several hours from Hong Kong to Toronto. Then he married and have a family. He sent me his family photos and greetings for festival and birthday wishes on and off. He told me that he was a very successful car salesman and a very happy man. We shared some family photos and chats also. He treasured his family and very proud of his grandson. Tony is the only long time friend since element school. 
I did not hear from him for a long time and until Feb 4. I was shocked that he replied to my text and told me that he was sick & hospitalized for months and did not contact me. He needed dialysis treatment for his kidney and got lots of support from families and getting better.  I told him that I'll pray for him.  I sent him another message  3 days ago with no reply. 
I was shocked, late tonight my husband found out the sad news from online the passing of Tony accidentally. It is so sad. 
It was an honor and a delight to have known Tony. His home going would certainly leave a void in my heart.
Loresa & family, wishing you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.
Friend,

Tony Ho was my friend and my Carter-Mitchell Auto Group sale representative since 1988.  It was the Carter GM connection that introduced me to Tony so long ago . . .  Joe Mitchell first, then Bill Mitchell, recommended that I spend some time with his "sales ace" Tony when I was new to Carters as a customer and contemplating a "step up" in my automobile at the time.   We settled on a Pontiac Bonneville, with black on black interior and exterior colour.  This would be the first of many    happy purchases from Carters.  Tony truly loved his trade and was so proud to be associated with the Carters and the Mitchells and the entire team there.

Over the  years, Tony personally facilitated over 50 vehicle transactions for myself and my family.  I gladly and proudly sent several  dozen friends and colleagues to see Tony at  Carter GM, knowing that he and this dealership would look after them with great care and professionalism.   They always did.

Everyone liked Tony.  Everyone liked his personality and admired his commitment to his trade, his passion about cars and Carters, and about giving his best efforts.  This never changed and that is the best testament you can give anyone, is that they stayed true to themselves and all of those characteristics and traits you liked and admired remained throughout their life.  

Every time I was in the Burnaby dealership and Tony was there we would have a nice chat.  My last vehicle purchase with Tony was fairly recent, and it was the same Tony Ho, with the same personal touches, that I first experienced long ago.  Same Tony, same care, same quality.  A good man who lived a good life.  

I offer my condolences to his wonderful family.  Be proud of Tony as he was of  you. And I also offer my condolences to his Carter-Mitchell family.  So nice to see people work together for decades and enjoy the pleasure of one another's company and the work that they do.  Rest in peace Tony Ho.  

Your friend Bill McCarthy and family.

I was saddened to hear of Tony's passing. I had the pleasure of working closely with Tony, as my office was right beside his.
He always spoke so fondly of his grandson, daughters & Loresa, often
 sharing stories & pictures with such pride & joy.
  I will always remember his kindness towards me, he will be missed.
My heartfelt condolences to your family during this difficult time.

I met Tony when I came to work at CarterGM in 1992. In a very short time, I learnt why Tony was the top salesman every month and salesman of the year consistently.  Tony didn’t take much time off,, he worked hard putting in many extra hours taking  care of his loyal customers.
After having worked at 3 of the largest GM dealerships, I can sincerely say Tony was the best salesman I have ever worked with.
When I retired in 2017, Tony and I kept in touch often and would go out for lunch occasionally.  I will miss Tony immensely.

We had many nice  conversations over the years, Tony often spoke lovingly about his family to me.
My sincere condolences to Loresa, Emily, Stephanie & family. My thoughts & prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Rest in peace my friend.

Dad was life of the party even at my own wedding 💒

I will always remember Uncle Tony as someone who loved his family, even extended family members like me. He always said yes to make us smile and went out of his way to satisfy our taste buds. Most of all, I am grateful for his love and care for Dad. He always listened to Dad even when I was too annoyed to listen myself. Thank God that both of them accepted Christ. I can see and hear them laughing together in heaven!

Dad’s Birthday, I loved all their smiles in this photo. We miss you so much!

Tony is an unforgettable man. He is an earnest teller of stories true enough to him that he would not grow tired of drawing you into his memories again and again, until his love and longings are faithfully witnessed. All his love and longings are for his family. I am glad to be a witness of his faithfulness.

Not too long ago I met him in the corridor of the hospital where he would soon find himself again but back then in a different capacity, to visit and comfort my father-in-law, a role Tony and auntie Loresa have taken on long before that day, talking to my father when he was not the easiest to talk to, taking him out when every outing was a heavy undertaking. That day in the hospital Tony was there all by himself, "lost," he said, and how I had "found" him, he claimed. Neither his lostness nor my having found him was the point. The real truth to him, I think, is always a deeper, more emotional one, as in this case that he cares for his friends and would make a special trip to make a friend feel special.

"None of you would understand," he told other guests, "but I do." Tony was talking about how I must be feeling on my daughter’s wedding day, the way he said he did and had been for "a long while" after his daughters were married and left their family house. Sadness was not the word he used. In fact I don't remember him using a particular adjective to describe how he was feeling ("for a good six months”). I believe the word might be "lost." That he was rather lost without his true loves.

The last time I talked to him he asked me to pray not only for but with him. I, faithless, was surprised in a way that I shouldn’t be. He held out his left hand, asked me to hold it and speak for him words he was learning to say. That day I knew, whatever is to come next, my friend Tony will never be lost again.

One of my earliest, most distinct childhood memories from before kindergarten is of meeting my uncle Tony for the first time. I was in my grandparents' grocery store when he dropped off my aunt Loresa after a date. I obviously didn't know who he was at the time, but that encounter and memory have stayed with me all these years for some reason. My uncle was always the life of the party and had the natural gift of making anyone feel seen and welcome. I will miss him dearly at family gatherings and our meandering conversations about cars, trucks, sports, and whatever else seemed worthwhile to gab on about at the time.  Rest in peace uncle Tony.

Tony was an incredibly sweet man who was always sharing wonderful stories about his girls & how proud he was of them. His family meant everything to him. Tony’s memory was enviable characteristic that always amazed me! I’ve already had some of his customers reaching out with condolences. Rest in peace Tony, heaven got another angel too soon. My condolences to all of Tony’s family, Denise Ward

Tony was a wonderful man. We will miss him greatly at Carters. He always had a smile on his face and a positive attitude. He loved his family and loved sharing photos of them. I will miss trading photos back-and-forth with him.
Dawn Mitchell.
