Mr Kiu Chung CHOI, 5 December 1932 – 1 May 2019
KC Choi, dearly loved husband of Christella, father to Clinton and Bernie, father-in-law to Gilly and Ruth, grandfather to Sophie, Jessica, Matthew and Jemima, passed away on 1st May 2019. His final period of poor health started in December last year when he had a fall in the house and fractured his lower spine. He was recently discharged from hospital but died at home after a period of breathlessness resulting from heart failure.
Having retired after a lifetime of work initially as a civil engineer, then managing, with Christella, a residential home for the elderly in Kent, KC helped to start up the Kingston Chinese Association [KCA] shortly after moving to Kingston in 1998, taking the founding role as Chairman to establish and grow an organization that now numbers several hundred members. It provides a vital weekly meeting place for education, social interaction and leisure keeping retired people active, healthy and mentally engaged. KC enjoyed giving his time and energy for others and gained enormous pleasure from supporting KCA and seeing it thrive over the many years.
More recently however, local funding cuts and increased weekly rental costs at the new Searchlight Community Centre where KCA meets, are threatening KCA’s continued existence.
KC’s family would like to support the ongoing work of KCA and therefore ask that instead of sending any flowers, please donate to the KCA at: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/kc-choi
The funeral will be held at Kingston Crematorium, Bonner Hill Road, Kingston-upon-Thames, KT1 3EZ on Saturday 25 May 2019 at 11.30am.
Lunch reception will follow afterwards at Kingston Working Men’s Club, 25 Old London Road, Kingston-upon Thames, KT2 6ND. Car parking is close by at the Cattle Market Car Park.
