Antonius Soekotjo Santoso (So Kok Tjiang) sadly passed away on October 13, 2023 after a short courageous battle with lymphoma cancer.

Born on May 4th, 1944, he grew up with his grandparents because his mother passed away when he was just 4 days old.

He had a passion for many things, his work, his family, his many talents and food. He sang and danced well, and he played a lot of musical instruments without official training.

He met Sisca, got married in 1967, and had three children. Silvi, Devy and Stevy. Anton was a gentle and kind-hearted father - he never used harsh words with his children.

He brought joy and laughter everywhere he went and readily helped others. He was also a wonderful husband. His wife and children will miss him dearly.

"A father like you is rare, one that's so generous, smart and kind. A father like you is what everyone needs, full of smiles, jokes, and laughter, always doing great deeds. Nothing can replace a father like you, but when you get to heaven God will be lucky to have you too."

Anton is survived by his wife, three children and his six grandchildren.

A service will be held for Anton at 10 a.m. on October 20, 2023 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, 2234 Ellesmere Road in Scarborough. Anyone is welcome to pay their respects.
