In Memoriam
George Phang-Lyn 彭道仁

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of George Phang-Lyn (彭道仁). He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family.
Born in Guangdong, China, George immigrated to Jamaica as a child, building many successful businesses despite having no formal education.
In Jamaica he met the love of his life, Sophina. They had four children together, and the family immigrated to Canada in 1976. They opened George's Tastee Foods, a thriving family-run bakery, restaurant, and wholesaler to this day.
