Our beloved father, William P. Chin, Sr., 89, died quietly in Everett on June 28, 2009. He was much loved and will be deeply missed.
Bill was born in Canton Province on January 16, 1920. Educated at Puying Prepatory School in Canton, at 18, he immigrated to the USA where he settled in Seattle, WA, furthering his education at Broadway High School.
Following WWII military service in the US Army, he married our mother, Dorothy, of Vancouver, B.C. and settled in Everett to live and raise our large family of seven children.
Our father lived the American dream, first working the canneries in Alaska, learning the restaurant trade at the Piedmont Hotel in Seattle, then working with our grandfather, Tom, at the Shanghai Café in Everett. He and our mother would, in 48 years, own and operate seven restaurants in the Snohomish County area.
Bill is survived by his five sons and two daughters and their spouses, Howard Chin, John and Virginia Chin, of Renton, WA, Rosalyn Kwan and her husband, Patrick Kwan, of Bellevue, WA, Ronald and Suana Chin, of Mukilteo, WA, William Chin, Jr. and fiancé, Susan, Thomas and Mabel Chin, of Mill Creek, WA, and Tamara Chin. He was blessed with fifteen grandchildren, Patrick, Nicholas, Max, Michael Spencer, Matthew, Michael David, Allison, Andrea, Alexander, Andrew, Christine, Caroline, William III, Joseph and George. Bill is also survived by his nephews, Bennie Hong and Allen Chin and their families.
Bill devoted his life and love to his wife, Dorothy, who predeceased him by 15 years, and his children and grandchildren. He reveled in their success and accomplishments. His hard work resulted in graduating all seven children from college, three also earning Juris Doctorate Degrees.
Our father was a long time member of Immaculate Conception Parish, the Washington Athletic Club and former member of Long Acres Owners and Trainers Association. He was an avid baseball fan and enjoyed fishing, thorough bred horseracing, casino gaming and Chinese painting and calligraphy.
A family Rosary will be said at 9 a.m., Friday, July 3, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m., at Immaculate Conception, a committal service will follow at Holyrood Cemetery in Shoreline. Arrangements are entrusted to Purdy & Walters with Cassidy funeral home in Everett. Published in The Herald (Everett) from July 1 to July 2, 2009
