梅國治於1931年4月11日在中國廣東省台山市端芬鎮出生，是家中10個小孩中最年幼的一個。
移民後，從加拿大蒙特婁（Montreal）到麻州Needham，到胡桃山（Chestnut Hill），他曾在許多家美式中餐館當服務生，1972年在布魯克蘭鎮9號公路旁，開了一家名為「北京東方進口公司（Peking Oriental Imports）」的禮品店。生意做得有起色後，他把店舖搬到波士頓市著名的紐百利街（Newbury），和哥哥梅國梁，妻子梅譚翠燕一起，幾乎全年無休的經營了22年有多。然而儘管要做的工作有很多，他卻總能找出時間和家人相處，敦睦家人感情，同時鑽研他最大的愛好- 攝影。他還不忘為宗親出力，擔任紐英崙梅氏公所顧問之餘，教後輩如何投資，管理個人財務。不少梅氏宗親十分推崇他的智慧及與時並進，和年輕人交往，完全沒有代溝。
梅國治從很年輕的時候就開始攝影了，從1960年代到2000年間，得過無數的全國性及國際獎項。她對攝影的愛好，促使他和朋友在波士頓華埠創辦了紐英崙藝術學會，展示書法，攝影等許多不同的藝術作品。他對攝影的愛好還觸動了他在年已80之際，出版了一本收錄有他一生作品的書，那也成了他最喜愛的個人成就之一。
他在紐英崙藝術學會還發起過為華人社區耆英免費拍攝專業個人照的服務，為波士頓華埠社區內超過100名耆英，留下美麗肖像。
梅國治是一位正直慷慨的人，所有認識他的人都對他印象深刻，記得他總有許多故事，笑話可說給大家聽，讓笑聲漾滿全場。
梅國治身後遺有妻子梅譚翠燕（Alice），女兒梅雪妮（Lillian），外孫Nathan，Evan，以及兒子梅子聰（Tony），兒媳Ada，孫輩Julianne，Camden等人。他還有許多親如家人的朋友們，都將十分懷念他。
追悼會將於12月15日（週一）早上9點至11點在永福殯儀館舉行，預訂中午安葬到胡桃山墳場。梅家人將在水城（Watertown）的Joyful Garden餐廳，款待弔唁賓客。
George Kwock Moy Obituary
George K. Moy, 94, of Brookline, MA, passed away on December 3, 2025. Born on April 11, 1931, in Duanfen, a town in Taishan in the Guangdong province of China, the youngest of 10 children to his parents, Gung Ming Moy and Choi Sau Fung. He was a devoted husband to his wife Alice, and a loving father to daughter Lillian and son Tony. George was hard-working and dedicated. He spent a dozen years working as a waiter at various Chinese-American restaurants, from Montreal to Needham and Chestnut Hill, MA. He then opened a small retail store, a gift shop named Peking Oriental Imports, on Route 9 in Brookline in 1972. The following year the business moved to Newbury Street in Boston, where he, Alice and his brother Stephen worked nearly every day year-round for over 22 years. Despite his many responsibilities, he always made time for his family and his greatest hobby: photography.
Starting photography at a young age, George won numerous national and international awards starting in the 1960s and into the 2000s. His love for photography led him to opening the Chinese-American Fine Arts Society with his friends in Boston’s Chinatown. They showcased everything from calligraphy to photography. His passion motivated him at the age of 80 to publish a book of his lifetime work, which was one of his favorite personal achievements.
A man of integrity and generosity, George left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. He was full of stories and jokes and always made the room laugh. George is survived by his wife Alice; his daughter Lillian and her sons, Nathan and Evan; and his son Tony and his wife, Ada, and their children Julianne and Camden. He is also survived by extended family members and many friends, who will miss him dearly.
Services will be held on Monday, December 15th, from 9-11am, at Wing Fook Funeral Home in Boston, followed by services at noon at Walnut Hill Cemetery in Brookline, MA. The family invites guests to attend lunch after the services at Joyful Garden Restaurant in Watertown, MA.
