Bing passed away peacefully at Royal Jubilee Hospital, Victoria BC on January 17, 2015 at 94 years. Born in 1920 in Vancouver he and his family moved to Alert Bay BC in 1934 to establish Wong Toy & Sons Ltd, a general store serving Cormorant Island as well as families from villages throughout the region.
