FOG BLOG CANADA NEWS LOG: THOUSANDS HONOUR CONSTABLE HONG AT HIS FUNERAL IN TORONTO!

Thousands honour slain Toronto Police Const. Andrew Hong at funeral Hong, 48, was one of 3 victims killed in a shooter's rampage on Sept. 12 housands of mourners including family members, police officers and Ontario politicians lined the halls of the Toronto Congress Centre Wednesday to celebrate the life of slain Toronto police officer Const. Andrew Hong.

In a ceremony that stretched almost three hours, a host of people paid tribute to the man affectionately known by police as "Honger." The 48-year-old died in what police described as an unprovoked and deadly "ambush" during his lunch break at a Mississauga Tim Hortons last week.

He was one of two victims who died shortly after the shootings, with a third dying in hospital days later.

"He was a big man with a big personality. He was larger than life," Hong's wife, Jenny, said during the service. "We miss him every day, and our home will always feel empty without him."

She told the amassed crowd that Thursday would have been the couple's 21st wedding anniversary.

"So Andrew, if you are listening, please know that you will always and forever be the greatest love of my life," she said. "Happy anniversary."

During tributes both personal and professional, a picture of Hong emerged — a man who loved his family and being a police officer, who adored motorcycles and other big machines, as well as animals, cooking, Star Wars and video games.
