Benny Tong

BENNY TONG, age 53, of Bel Air, MD, died on December 30, 2007 at Franklin Square Hospital in Baltimore, MD. Born in Atlantic City, NJ, he was the son of the late Yuen Ked and So Ming Tong. He was a computer engineer for the Social Security Administration, but first and foremost a most devoted father; his two children were his world. All those who knew him, whether it be walking his white pit bull on the local trail or running his two children around knew him to be a caring, compassionate, friendly, and most genuine person, who could bring a smile to any face. He passed away while doing what he enjoyed most; dancing the night away.

Mr. Tong is survived by a son, age 17, Julian Christopher Tong of Bel Air, MD; a daughter, Tiffany Katarina Tong, 19, of Bel Air, MD; a brother, Fair Man Tong of Baltimore, MD; and a sister, Catherine Linette of Bernville, PA.
