Chau Man-lok, Peter ('67) R.I.P.

Created: 26 March 2015

Peter, who lived in San Francisco, passed away on Wednesday, March 25, suddenly but peacefully, in SF. His family was by his side.

Peter was rushed to the hospital on Monday, after a fall at home. Doctors discovered a blood clot in his brain, and performed surgery to remove it. Even though the surgery itself was successful, the bleeding never stopped.

The funeral service was held on Saturday, March 28, at noon at Evergreen Mortuary of McAvoy O'Hara at 4545 Geary Blvd.

We offer our condolences to his family.

《青玉案 元夕》 （宋）辛棄疾 
東風夜放花千樹  更吹落  星如雨
寶馬雕車香滿路  鳳蕭聲動  壺光轉  一夜魚龍舞 
蛾兒雪柳黃金縷  笑語盈盈暗香去
眾裏尋他千百度  驀然回首   那人卻在  火闌珊處

《元夕無月》（清）丘逢甲
三年此夕無月光  明月多應在故鄉
欲向海天尋月去  五更飛夢渡鯤洋
