Andrew Hong funeral: Toronto police constable remembered as "bright light" | FULL

Toronto police officer Const. Andrew Hong who was killed in what’s been called an ambush attack was remembered Wednesday by family and friends as someone who was a natural teacher who brightened the lives of those around him.

Thousands of police officers, loved ones and dignitaries packed a large venue in north Toronto for Hong’s funeral a little more than a week after the 48-year-old officer was shot dead in a Mississauga, Ont., coffee shop.

“Everyone who knew him loved him. That was always Andrew,” Jenny Hong, the widow of Andrew Hong, told the mourners in a eulogy delivered at the Toronto Congress Centre.

Hong, 48, was a 22-year veteran of the force and a traffic services officer who worked with a highly specialized motorcycle unit that provides security escorts for dignitaries such as prime ministers and presidents.
