It is with great sadness that the family of Cyril How Sik
Thong announces his passing. Cyril had
been battling pancreatic cancer since February 2020, and passed peacefully at
Royal Columbian Hospital on Sunday, July 12, 2020 at the age of 73.
Cyril was a Senior Lecturer in the Biology department at
Simon Fraser University for the majority of his life, touching the lives of
tens of thousands of first year Biology students, some of whom became the wonderful
doctors and nurses that took care of him while he was at Royal Columbian
Hospital.
Cyril will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Christina and
his children Jennifer (Kevin), and Leonard (Tina). Cyril will also be fondly remembered by his 3
grandchildren, Alex, Kaiya, and Kaylee, and by his elder siblings, June, Tony,
and Anne as well as his nieces and nephews in Singapore and Australia.
The family has chosen to forgo funeral services and those
who desire may make memorial donations in memory of Cyril, to the Royal
Columbian Hospital Foundation.
You are invited to leave a personal message for the family.
