Wai Ming Chin

An honorable husband, a loving father, and a beloved grandfather. Wai Ming was born in Canton, China in 1938 and moved to Hong Kong as a young adult, where he met and married his wife Yuk Ling Kwan. They moved to the U.S. in 1968, where they settled in Long Island, close to Wai Ming’s family. For most of his life, Wai Ming was a tailor at a men’s clothing store working 6 days a week. On Sundays, he would devote his time to his family, making breakfast and dinner. Wai Ming’s favorite pastimes included watching sports, eating dim sum, and playing mahjong with family and friends. Every so often he would sneak to a casino. Today we celebrate a gentle soul who was loved dearly by those around him.
