Toy Wong
Toy Wong died peacefully at home on Oct. 13, 2001, at the age of 85. A native of Fresno, he was born on Sept. 4, 1916, and lived in Fresno for 70 years before moving to Davis in 1986. He was an outstanding athlete in football, basketball and track at Edison High School, as well as a Golden Glove contender. After serving in the Army during World War II, he owned and operated restaurant and grocery businesses with his wife Eleanor. More recently he enjoyed time spent with his grandchildren, hunting, fishing and sharing his joy of cooking with friends and family. He and his wife celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary with family just two weeks before his death.
He is survived by his wife, Eleanor Ko Wong; sisters Beulah Moy and her husband Robert, Gloria Lum and her husband Brian and Isabelle Hayashi and her husband George and his children, Carla Gee and her husband Sonny, Neil Wong, Toynette Johnson and her husband John and Kristopher and his wife Athol Wong. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Rodney, Natalie and her husband Will Vega, Kristen, Roland, Melanie and Brittany Wong, Trent and Brynne Johnson and Brendon and Bevin Wong; and his great-grandchildren, Kyleigh, Alyssa, and Lexi Vega and Michelle Gougeon.
Friends are invited to join a musical celebration of his life on Oct. 27 at 3 p.m. at Davis Senior Center, 646 A Street in Davis. The family will deeply appreciate donations to your favorite charity in lieu of flowers.
