Andrew, in my mind, was a person who was kind, honored the elders, always ready to lend a helping hand when you need him. He never had bad things to say about others, and yet very encouraging with positive outlooks.

I remember one time my husband and I were purchasing a house.  We asked Andrew to look at the site and give us his Feng Shui expertise.   He arrived at the construction site and the ground was wet and muddy.  I don’t remember if it rained the day before.

My husband and I were reluctant to step too far into the muddy worksite because we didn’t want our shoes to get too wet.   Andrew, without a second thought, stepped right into the muddy ground and checked around for us.   We told him we should come back on another day when the ground is dry.  But he said he didn’t mind.  I watched as the mud was building up on his shoes and he was walking like RoboCop.    When he was finished, you couldn’t  see his shoes anymore.   They were just a pair of solid muddy feet.  We were hoping he was not wearing his expensive pair of shoes!!   My mom was with us that day and of course, she was not happy and felt bad that we caused such trouble for Andrew.   She got on our case for days.

The episode stuck on my mind and I never forget how selfless Andrew was.  Andrew, you brought a lot of joy and unforgettable memories to your family and friends.  You were well loved, we will miss you dearly!!! 

Good bye my dear friend. May you rest in peace.

I don't know where to start, but I guess I will start with, the Uncle who drove my parents to the hospital for me to come in this world. The Uncle who will stays up late, just to make sure I got home safely from hanging out with friends while visiting the Bay Area...The day I found out about his passing, I was actually boiling an egg...I started crying uncontrollably because it made me think of the time I made the mistake of telling him I loved tea leaf eggs and egg tarts, the next morning he purposely drove out to golden gate bakery to get egg tarts, and went to a local place that sold tea leaf eggs and must have bought me a 1/2 a dozen. Thinking back now, I think it was very cute and so generous of him to do that. I unfortunately did not live in California to be physically closer to him, but the times I visited and got to spend with him, I hold all those memories very close and dear to me. Although I did not get to see him as often because of the pandemic, but I am so grateful I got to see him while he was healthier prior to pandemic shutdown. I will sorely miss being able to see him every time I come to SF, but I know if he can tell us in his own way, he would want us to smile and laugh as he did at Stephen Chow movies. To the man with the biggest heart and was always very generous with his time with all of us that was lucky enough to be in his presence, Rest In Peace Uncle Andrew.
