DR CHAN, KING HIM
1945 -2019
GONE FISHING FOREVER
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of King, our beloved brother, on Friday, August 16th, 2019. King was born in China, raised in Hong Kong, and went to medical school in Taiwan. He completed his internship in Winnipeg, MB and held his residency in Hamilton, ON and Saskatoon, SK. King became a physician/surgeon in Saskatchewan in 1978 and a fellow of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in 1981. He moved to Moose Jaw in 1979/1980 as a baby/women’s health doctor until his retirement in 2007. He loved his work and made Moose Jaw his home for the friendly people, the beautiful nature, and the tranquil life style. Besides his hard work and long hours, he enjoyed fishing, travelling, cooking, photography and hosting parties for friends. Thank you to the medical team and staff at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital for making the last months of his life as bearable and comfortable as possible. Special thanks to Dr. Rininsland, Dr. Majid, Dr. Miller, Dr. Cheddie, and all of the nurses who provided exemplary care to him. Thanks to his friends for many visits, prayers and cards.
