A Tribute

" Good evening, I'm the grandson of Mr. Chan Sze Kang. I represent my Auntie Lucy and my Mum. Grandpa was a doting husband, father and grandfather. He was fair, kind and humble. He was devoted to his work and had worked till recently. Even when he was lying ill in his hospital bed, he endured the pain and never complained. Grandpa had never held back his knowledge and was always willing to share.

Grandpa had always pampered grandma and treated her very well. He always made sure that she had the best of everything. Grandma would miss him very dearly.

Auntie Lucy would like me to give a testimony. 5 years ago, Grandpa had a major operation and he told her he almost died. But my aunt prayed for him and with God's grace, he pulled through. In his own words, grandpa told Auntie Lucy that he saw lights at the end of the tunnel, after which, he regained conciousness and he felt himself and realised that he was still alive. Since the incident, he lived healthily for another 5 fulfilling years.

On my mum's part, she feels that grandpa was a very loving father-in-law and had always treated her like his own daughter. Shortly before he passed away, he made my mum promise that she would continue her studies in the japanese language. For the record, grandpa was an expert in the japanese language and culture. He had always led by example that we should all continously improve ourselves and brush up our knowledge.

His illness started just a month ago and he did not suffer much. He was a good man."
