Peter had a large family support group consisting of 3 brothers (John (predeceased), Jim, David) 3 sisters (May, Lily, Jean) and many many nephews, nieces and grand and great grand nephews and nieces. We will always cherish the fond memories of life on the farm and the large family gatherings. Peter Wing, C.M., O.B.C was the first mayor of Chinese descent in North America.

His most recent proud moment was to celebrate his and Kim's 75th Wedding Anniversary in November, receiving numerous congratulatory certificates from notables such as Queen Elizabeth, our Prime Minister, our Governor General and our Premier.
