It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Peter. He passed away peacefully in the presence of family at Victoria General Hospital. Born and raised in Victoria, predeceased by his father, Reverend Moi Fong Leung and mother, Mae Chan, 2 brothers and 8 sisters. Survived by his sister, Lydia. He leaves behind his loving wife of 62 years, Cynthia. A true love story to behold. They often danced the night away in their younger years. Survived by his children and grandchildren: Cary – Karsen, Jarryd; Steven (Patty) – Nathan, Tamiya; Darlene (Randy) – Brandon, Leanne(Taylor), Jordan. He loved his family deeply.
Peter lived a full life, and did it all “his way”. A successful business owner, Renfrew-Fairfield Dry Cleaners and Victoria Travel Shoppe. He also enjoyed his time as a Rotarian during his business years. His passion was golf, a long-time member of the Gorge Vale Golf Club. Absolutely loved the game, but it drove him crazy trying to perfect the mechanics. You would know why if you saw him putt. “Goong” was his grand-kid’s biggest sports fan, attending every game that he possibly could. He was very proud of all their achievements and the fine adults they have become.
The family thanks the Doctors, Nurses, LPN’s, and HCA’s on 6CNorth and 7DSouth at VGH. The staff was marvelous in providing the care and compassion for Peter throughout his stay.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, please donate to the Victoria Hospital Foundation in Peter’s name.
No Service will be held as per his request, but he would love it if you raised a glass in his memory. Cheers!
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

So sad to hear of Peter’s passing. Have fond memories of you and Peter on the Golf Course, along with the many wonderful Chinese dinners that Peter and the Victoria Travel Shoppe treated the sales group to from CPAir/Canadian Airlines.
Our heartfelt sympathy are with you. Your life with Peter was long and fruitful.

Dear Cynthia and family.
I am so sorry to read of Peter’s passing. He was such a good friend of my mom and dad’s. You will miss him. Take good care of yourself as mom would say “good people are scarce!”. See you soon I hope.
Love, Elinor Whitney-Griffiths
Dear Cynthia and Family;
I was so saddened to read of Peter’s passing. He was a kind man with a great sense of humour and a loving husband, father and grand-father. We are thinking of you at this time and also raise a glass in his memory. We will miss him on Sloan.

I haven’t seen either of you in the weight room at Commonwealth in quite a long time, so not sure if you were still able to go. I certainly enjoyed chatting with Peter – and you – when we did cross paths. And Jim always spoke fondly of Peter. My thoughts are with you as you begin this next journey and I trust family and friends will rally to provide support. “Grief is just love with no place to go.”
Sincere condolences, Donna Hay (for Jim Chow)
Dear Cynthia: how sorry I was to learn of Peter’s death. We met at Commonwealth Gym some years ago as you will know, and I was always taken with his good spirit in the face of some considerable physical difficulties. I can see him now making his way about with his cane and working that rowing machine.
No doubt you will have many happy memories of your own, and I hope they are of comfort to you and your family at this time.
Best, Bob Beazley
I met Mr. Leung about 45 years ago while I was a junior member at the Gorge Vale and I will always be grateful for the many, many, many, many tips that he gave me on how to improve my game. He was a good man and will definitely be missed by all that knew him. Our thoughts go out to Mrs. Leung and the entire family and we raise a glass in his memory. “CHEERS” Mate!
Dear Cynthia and Family, We are so sorry to learn of Peter’s passing. Our heartfelt sympathy and condolences are with you.
