YU, Nelson (Yin Hai) Yu - 1938 - 2022 Nelson Yin Hai Yu passed away peacefully on November 25th 2022 at 12:39am in Scarborough General Hospital with loving family around.
He was born on August 8th 1938 in Karachi, Pakistan. Born as the second son to Yu Shwee Theing and Kuo Shih.
He carried the title of second eldest with grace, dignity and great love for all of his siblings.
He married Eileen Ai Lan Yoe on October 10th 1960.
Together they had 6 children, 17 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.
He worked diligently as a denturist and became a master of his craft with utmost humility. His quiet nature served as both a peaceful and commanding presence in any room.
Better known to his loved ones as Papa, Tete, Eh and Hero, he exceeded the standard of each of his roles.
Respectful husband, loving father, patient grandfather, generous friend.
Although 84 years feels too short still and he will sorely be missed, we are extremely blessed and fortunate to have shared any amount of time with this one of a kind man — our hero.
Nelson loved each and every one of his grandchildren unconditionally. He never forgot any of our birthdays or how old any of us were. He was the epitome of kindness.
We will never forget his beautiful smile and laugh. The late nights he stayed up to tell us stories or play cards.
He was always thinking of others, spreading love and kindness.
All are welcome to join us in celebrating his life.
