Daniel P.A. Fong, 76, passed away unexpectedly Sept. 24, 2013.

He was the husband of Jean Fong for over 45 years. 

Born Nov. 27, 1936 in China, he immigrated to North Attleboro when he was 16 years old and attended North Attleboro High School.

Daniel loved watching his grandchildren grow up, tending to his garden, following the stock market, writing poetry and watching sports, especially NFL Football and the Boston Red Sox. He also volunteered his time at the Richards Memorial Library in North Attleboro.

Daniel also loved his time spent at his beach home in Narragansett, R.I. where he could enjoy the ocean views. One of his favorite times of the year was hosting an annual reunion of family and friends at the beach house.
