5 October 1941—6 August 2014
Tony, grandson of Ng Yew Sui, one of the founding members of the Tung Jung Association, and son of Sun Chor and Gertie Ng, was born in Wellington and educated at St. Mark’s Church School, Wellington, and then to Rongotai College. On leaving school, Tony went into the fruit and vegeta-ble business, first with his Uncle George in Willis Street and then in the late 1950’s set up his own business in Tawa with his wife Anna and his parents. He participated in many local activities and was an active member of the Tawa Lions Club for many years. When the business was sold, he moved on to other interests amd joined the New World Supermarket in Courtenay Place as produce manager and remained in this posi-tion until his retirement in 2006. His family had moved to Auckland so he and Anna moved there to be closer to their grandchildren. Unfortunately, in 2007, Anna passed away and Tony continued his retirement there catching up with friends and returning to Wellington frequently to see his siblings and friends. His funeral was held at The Chapel of Love and Remembrance in Mangere on 12 August and was attended by many relatives and friends. He is survived by his son Christopher and his wife Lindsay and their two boys, Campbell and Justin and his daughter Carolyn and his sisters and brother, Pam, Virginia, Cynthia and Jeffrey and their families.
