Dear Uncle Stephen,

Although we didn't have the opportunity to meet often due to the distance that separated us, we always remember your kindness and wisdom. You will continue to inspire us throughout our lives, and forever remembered in our hearts.

Rachel and Matthew

親愛的大哥:

你的離去是這麼突然, 我們也來不及說再見, 但是你的爽朗親切的容顏和話語, 永遠留在我們心裡。永遠懷念你!

It’s hard to believe that Stephen passed away so sudden and unexpectedly. We know each other from different dance class. He is a nice and gentle guy.  I will never forget the good time we had shared in the dance lessons and party. Dear Lorita: please stay strong and overcome your grief. Take care.

Uncle Stephen has been a part of my life for close to 30 years. I grew up about a block away from where I met his son, Howard, who became my best friend.

I first crossed paths with his son around 1994 to 1995. The 90s was truly a different time. I randomly bumped into Howard in his front yard and we just started hanging out at each other's houses. Uncle Stephen and Auntie Lorita must have been "surprised" at the very least that a random child is now in their home and playing with his son. I don't think I realized the gravity of that until I had children of my own. The details are hazy now but I'm sure once things settled down a bit and before Howard ran off to my house, Uncle Stephen stopped us and likely asked the common questions of who I was and where I lived.

In many ways, Uncle Stephen help kept the friendship between Howard and me alive. I remember they moved out to Burnaby from Port Moody and then later to South Vancouver. He would often travel to Port Moody to visit and I remember serval occasions when he picked me up to visit Howard during the summer vacation. Now as a parent, you can truly appreciate the time and sacrifice that for his son.

As an adult, Uncle Stephen was my savior when we were moving into our first home. Catherine and I are forever grateful, that he was there to guide and counsel us during this significant life event for us.

A very dear mentor of mine once said this to me when his dad passed away:

"He is alive for as long as we remember him."

In my memory, Uncle Stephen is full of warm smiles and wisdom.

As a parent, nothing is more comforting than to know that your children have surpassed you and your expectations. I think he would be glad to know that his son carries a very similar outlook on life - living the best version of it possible and being the best possible version of himself.

Rest in peace, Uncle Stephen. You are truly missed.

Big brother Chi Kwong, i miss you so much... Although you are not my real brother, but you are actually closer than my real brother... Every time I see you, you always care about me... Every time you come to Hong Kong, you must come to see me, i remember one time you asked me to have dinner at a restaurant, but you were afraid that i couldn’t find the correct address, so you walked to the subway MTR station to wait me... Big brother Chi Kwong, i miss you so much...

We miss my big brother Chi Kwong so much... I hope Chi Kwong will have a good journey to heaven... he will meet my parents and sister in heaven... Although Chi Kwong has immigrated to Canada for more than 30 years (we don't see each other often), but there are also some details with Chi Kwong... I had adverse events in the early years, and he often encouraged and supported me... He often stayed at my house when he came to Hong Kong. He often reminded me that it is best not to eat or drink after dinner, and my teeth It is best to use an electric toothbrush so he even bought electric toothbrush for me and my wife Wai Yee…It is best not to eat peanuts because he and me nose is not good. Of course, it is best to drink hot water... I miss Chi Kwong very much here...
