Jack Chow, known for his contributions to Vancouver's Chinatown neighbourhood, has died at the age of 90. His family confirmed his death in an obituary, writing that he passed away peacefully at Vancouver General Hospital in early February. Chow was well-known for operating his business, Jack Chow Insurance, out of the Sam Kee building at 8 West Pender Street in Vancouver's Chinatown — the thinnest and shallowest commercial building in the world. "Jack will always be loved, and his family will always be grateful to him for all his dedication to family unity and togetherness." WATCH: The 2017 Lunar New Year display at the Sam Kee building
