KA WAN SHUM On Saturday, November 1, 2008, Ka Wan left this world peacefully in his sleep at the Health Sciences Centre. Ka Wan was born on November 8, 1910 in Toisan, Guangdong, China. Before coming to Canada, he had a bicycle shop and worked at the City Park of Toisan. He also mastered the art of Kung Fu. His lifelong practice of Kung Fu contributed to his long and healthy life in his retirement days. He loved going out to socialize at Yum Cha everyday, seven days a week, never missing a day until a vehicle accident in 1999. He was predeceased by his parents, three brothers, two sisters and one son-in-law. He is survived by his loving wife of 64 years Chau Sim; daughters Angela Lau, Jenny Yip (Chang), Annie Wu (Peter); grandchildren Tinlong, Colin, Farley, Lynn, Simone, Cammy, Timon; and sister Sui. Many heartfelt thanks go out to Parkview Place Staff for the loving care of Ka Wan and the Health Sciences Centre Staff on GD3 for taking care of Ka Wan in his remaining days. Special thanks also goes out to Lana for taking care of Ka Wan for so many years before he was placed into Parkview Place.
