Milton Wong, who grew up in Chinatown as the son of an immigrant tailor and became one of Vancouver’s most honoured financiers, philanthropists and community leaders, has died.
Wong died Saturday at age 72, after battling pancreatic cancer for several months.
“It’s a real loss. He was still very vigorous until he got ill earlier last year,” said Joe Wai, a Vancouver architect and friend of the Wong family.
“There were more things that he would have done. He was an amazing human being who did a lot of good in furthering the causes he believed in.”
