Dad at the age of 21, came to Canada in 1955. He worked at the Lee’s greenhouse when he first arrived. He later worked for his uncle at Ming’s restaurant. Mom later came to Canada to join Dad in 1960 and married that year.

The Mews in Broadmead The Wu family:
Raymond, Kahren and family are so sad to hear about the passing of you husband, father, grand and great grandfather Albert.
Albert was very gracious and supportive of the Mews in Victoria and knew my parents and our family so well.
I personally learned much about small business working at one of his grocery stores so he could spend weekend time with his family.
Albert was also a kind, gentle and thoughtful family man, and lived his life fully.
He will be missed by many of us.
Our deepest condolences to your multi-generation family, and may Albert rest in peace.Raymond and Kahren Mew and family

Kim Recalma`` He will be sadly missed with his visits to the clinic and his AMAZING Banana Bread that he often treated us too. Albert even in his later years was always fixing or helping in some way. He will be so missed.
