NING WONG
Ning was a very modest man both in his demeanour and lifestyle. He had been retired for many, many years. His life as a crisis worker for 30 years at the Main Street Project was challenging but he persisted with determination, hopefulness and integrity.
His joys were times with his family of nieces, Delaney (Bhav), Zephyra, Everett, Essex and nephew Ashton celebrating birthdays and holidays together. Frequent and fun times with 'The Sibs' included sisters, Megan and Meven, where having lunch together meant an entire day of 'doing stuff' that ended very late in the evening. A neighbour to the same folks for over 40 years, Ning was a warm, kind and thoughtful man, helping them in many ways throughout this time. Making donations to the Winnipeg Humane Society continuously throughout his lifetime, Ning is being remembered as having a 'heart of gold.'
He liked fast cars, unique cars and attended the annual car shows. Ning had a soft spot for furry little kittens and truly revelled in their play. 'Puppies' and 'Tiger' filled his life with purpose and pleasure, even teaching 'Tiger' his cat a multitude of tricks. His collection of masks, mugs, magnets and one-of-a-kind watches filled his home as he delighted in his pastime passion.
The life of Ning Wong can be measured by the love of his family and the care he held for others.
Cremation has taken place. A private remembrance for family to commemorate his life is planned.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Ning’s death just today. My belated condolences to Megan, Meven and family. Although not being in touch with Ning for many years I have often, very often, reflected on our times spent together in our late teens and 20’s listening to music and “rapping” (when rapping meant talking) in the back room and later the living room at the house on Elgin, and our treks to Grand Beach and once to the US where we made it as far as Duluth. I truly look forward to seeing Ning again (John 5:28,29) - Posted by: Tony (Red) Markham (Friend) on: Sep 10, 2019

Dear Megan, Meven, and Family: So sad to hear of Ning's recent passing. I have fond memories of sooo long ago, of Ning making us laugh whenever I was over to play with Meven. He was always happy and joking with us when we were kids. It's no wonder he lived life as a kind and generous human being. My heartfelt condolences. - Posted by: Wendy Tyson (Friend of the family) on: Jun 29, 2019

You are deeply missed my friend. I cherish our snooker and pool days, our deep conversations and laughs, and the walks with our dogs; Lunch at Kelekis or even a drive to Skinners in Lockport, then just chill and watch a movie...The car shows were a highlight that we did not get enough of...REST IN PEACE...my friend - Posted by: Chris Seabrook (Long time friend 40 years) on: Jun 26, 2019
