BB: "I had prearranged a luncheon date with Greg on Jan 31, 2018, and my flights were booked. I guess it is not going to happen."
Andrew: "I remember seeing his brother, our 65 classmate, 于德，with YK and Edwin at our place in Montreal many years ago."
Saturday, March 25th, 2017 at Chapel Ridge Funeral Home, 8911 Woodbine Ave. north of Hyw16, Markham. From 9:30-10:30 is the time for viewing and the funeral service starts at 10:30. Rev. Chan Wai Chiu of the Lutheran Tsingchun Church and The Rev. Canon Edmund Der (his former student) of St. James Cathedral, Anglican, will officiate. The burial will be at Highland Memorial Gardens on Don Mills and Steeles immediately following the service, and a fellowship lunch will be held at Mandarin Buffet at Woodbine for all family and friends.
I understand that the Tsang sisters will hold a memorial service for Roy on February 25, 2017. They wish that we Cheetahs will write something about Roy so that they can read out the same at the service. Philip has already written something and perhaps you, being our senior member and mentor, will write on our behalves. Kindly consider. With prayers & best regards,
Peter Lee
-------------------------------------------------
Too many other commitments prevent us from attending the tribute to Roy on Feb 25. We wish our few words can convey how deeply we loved him.
Peace and good health,
-------------------------------------------------
Your parents will always be in our prayers, we miss both of them.
Betty and Gus

Please find attached a letter I wrote to your late Dad. The letter is a summary of his younger days in Hong Kong with respect to his primary school education and his secondary school education. What your Dad experienced was unique and given the environment that surrounded him, he came through with flying colors overcoming all the challenges that almost blocked his career path at one time or another. I hope that the letter will provide a glimpse of how your Dad was growing up as an adolescence and how he found his future despite of adversities. We all had friends outside of this group but destiny brought this group so tightly knit that the fraternal relationship among them is better than some blood related siblings.
If the Tsang sisters find the content of this letter may assist them in delivering a Eulogy, please do not hesitate to use any portions of it on the day you chose to celebrate the life of our brother Roy. If you think it is appropriate, you may read it all or some portions of it at the ceremony as well. Attached with the letter is the poster that was included at the Wah Yan International Conference in 2010. In it, you will find some nice photos of your dad and a celebration of our friendship.
Regards,
Philip

In FLANDERS FIELDS by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae (1872-1918) 江紹倫譯
In Flanders fields the poppies blow 在富蘭達斯墓地櫻粟花淀放
Between the crosses, row on row, 穿插於排列整齊的十字架群間
That mark our place; and in the sky 我們從定位上望高空
The larks, still bravely singing, fly 銀燕仍然勇飛高歌
Scarce heard amid the guns below. 歌聲受地下炮聲淹啞
