Tony was such a kind and sweet person. I only knew him a few short weeks but he impressed me immediately. He loved to talk about spiritual things as well as workplace issues. He always tried to do his very best at his job. The world is a smaller place without him in it. He will be sorely missed.

太突然,太突然,我們永遠的朋友,約好了3月去美國探你,但點解你會咁快走。你由一個連26個英文字都未識的男孩,沒有父母在身邊,靠自己努力讀到PHD, 對朋友好尤其當我細佬是兄弟般,我也當你半個細佬,點解好人會咁快走,個天是否真的有眼!
Tony Poon RIP

My dearest brother, Dee Gor,
I never expect to say goodbye to you in this way. Everything just happened so suddenly. I kept on wondering why, why you, why this time, why is it like that? It is not fair and makes no sense. I cannot say a proper goodbye to you. It still feels surreal. But reality just hit hard that I can never listen to your voice or receive any message from you. There is no choice but to accept the fact that you had left, forever.
I know you had been working exceptionally hard for any target or dream you had while sharing your care and love to the one you care about at the same time. You had taught me, in the best way, what perseverance really means and why we cannot lose hope and faith while going through the toughest time in our lives. I want you to know that we are always proud of you. It is a true blessing to have you as my brother in my life. You will always be my Dee gor and I’ll always be your little sister. I will never forget the first time I called you ah gor and held your hands. All of these can only be memories.
You had always been an inspiration to me and many people. You were always a person who radiated warmth and kindness. I am grateful for all your care and support throughout the years. You would always offer me your genuine advice on academics and personal issues no matter how far we were from each other. The life lessons you have taught me are just too many to state. You had also taught me, in the saddest way to cherish every moment with the one we love. We promise we will take good care of ourselves and our family. Please don’t worry about us.
Dee gor, you had worked hard enough, it’s time for you to take a rest. Thank you for being there for all of us. May you rest in peace.
Love,
Lingling, your little sister
《也許》 聞一多
也許你真是哭得太累,
也許,也許你要睡一睡,
那麼叫夜鷹不要咳嗽,
蛙不要號,蝙蝠不要飛。
不許陽光撥你的眼簾,
不許清風刷上你的眉,
無論誰都不能驚醒你,
撐一傘松蔭庇護你睡,
也許你聽這蚯蚓翻泥,
聽這小草的根鬚吸水,
也許你聽這般的音樂,
比那咒罵的人聲更美;
那麼你先把眼皮閉緊,
我就讓你睡,我讓你睡,
我把黃土輕輕蓋著你,
我叫紙錢兒緩緩的飛。

Growing up, Uncle Dee has always showered me with words of encouragement and had the biggest smile when we saw each other. I remember that he also treated me and my sister with love and admiration similar to a father’s.
Whether it was studying for an exam or preparing for an investment, Uncle Dee was always working on something. He was never in just one place. The way he’d always follow his dreams and aspirations has truly been inspirational.
Thank you for being there for me and Grace.
May you Rest In Peace Uncle Dee

From Frank Ko
Tony and I were high school classmates. I used to call him Ah Dee. He studied very hard in school and also worked after school. Even though he didn’t talk much, I knew that he had a good heart because he was always helping people. We had not seen or spoken to each other for many years. He reached out to me a few months ago and told me that he was taking a break from being too stressed working at hospitals during the pandemic. We were supposed to meet up a few times but somehow we never got to meet. I feel so bad that we didn’t see each other. I wish I hung out with him more. RIP Tony and my deepest condolences to Tony’s family.

Kind, trusting, warm hearted, hardworking, energetic, intelligent, family rooted, and generous are just a few of the words I would use to describe Tony.
Regrettably, I never had the privilege of meeting Tony in person however based on our many phone conversations, I am honored to have called him one of my best clients ever.
A couple years ago, Tony contacted our company to manage his investment property in Honolulu, besides talking business, we got to know each other thru conversations on shared experiences of how we made it in the US and how we appreciated having a decent life here.
When Covid hit early this year, Tony told me some of his colleague had not survived as frontline healthcare workers. He was sad to lose his dear colleagues to Covid. On the positive side he always reminded me to continue to cherish, love, and appreciate people around me and enjoy life to the fullest. He also expressed his deep appreciation and love for his wife, Hon.
I will continue to remember his energetic voice, words, and wisdom.
I am proud to call Tony my dear friend, Tony, we know your kind spirit will always being with all of us.
Please accept my deepest condolences for Hon and all the family.

Dear Mrs Poon,
I am a professor of Tony. Tony was my student in several of my classes. He was a dream come true student for any teacher, he was very bright, hard working, most dedicated and extremely helpful, kind and considerate to other students. I am so proud of him. He was very humble, modest and honest. I am very sorry about the news and for your loss. I am always proud of him for all his accomplishments. Please accept my sympathy. Please give my sympathy to all his family members. Tony is a very special human being. I pray God to give you strength to find peace in his memory.
I am honored to know Tony and my prayers to his family

Tony was a former student that became my friend. We quickly developed a great friendship as I watched him make wonderful career strides. He was an extremely intelligent and personable person that I will dearly miss. I am heartbroken. I consider myself a better person for having known Tony. A truly unique human. May he RIP.

Thank you all for being here today to give Mr. Tony Poon the proper and well deserved send off that he deserves.
I met Tony in the blood bank at Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. We both worked in the lab as Medical Technologists and despite our age difference (he is only a year younger than my oldest daughter) we hit it off immediately. We had similar interests and similar backgrounds that landed us both at Interfaith. Tony isn’t the type of guy that would ever want me eulogizing him. Yes, he was humble, energetic and cared deeply for his family and friends. But Tony also had a broad range of interests with a combined medical and financial studies background. He was fluent in two languages. Even though he had a stable and steady career, he was always looking to improve his lifestyle for his family. Tony did very well in the trading of foreign currencies. He passed his AABB Specialist Certification, a trading exam on the first try. This shows you how quickly he adapted and enjoyed currency trading. You see to trade currencies, it takes some courage along with a quick thinking brain to make a profit. Tony did both with ease. Tony left all of us all too soon. I never would have Imagined that I would have to Say Goodbye.
So to my young friend Tony, with whom I viewed as a younger brother, this song is dedicated to you... “Amazing Grace”.
Oliver Chiang
我很難過,在此寫下对Tony的思念,他一生為人正直,生於越南,在香港成長,來美國留學,定居,妻子是台灣來的。沒有孩子,喜歡助人,对同事和諧相處.老闆也喜歡他,在他本職也很有追求,他喜歡衝浪,騎機車,他有個公寓在夏威夷,孝順岳父母,喜歡騎機車,很善良的基督徒.

You sent me soft relaxing music to ease my insomnia so i could get a goodnight sleep. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and kindness. You will always be remembered as a man with full of ambition and determination. A man whose continued quest for knowledge is immeasurable. You have succeeded in every endeavor you set yourself in. I am truly proud and honored to have known you. You will always live in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. You will be missed by many. May your soul rest in eternal peace.

Hi Tony’s Family, Sorry to hear your loss. I was very sad when I heard that Tony passed away. I knew Tony when we all worked at the same hospital in Brooklyn. When working in this hospital, we, a group of colleagues, talked and shared information during meal break time. Tony would share his information and his plan. And he did make his plan came true. He had his advanced specialty certificate. After we all left this hospital, we all became friends. Health-Care laboratory is a small industry; people know one another and share information. Tony was a very gentle and nice person. Though now we lost dear friend, Tony, we will all remember him.

Tony worked with me at the hospital. He was a very peaceful person. He never upset anyone and was always trying to help his coworkers.

Tony was a big brother that I never had. The advice he has given me since I have met him has help me through many trying times. We shared laughs inside and outside of work. Even though we were no longer co-workers we still kept in touch. He was the voice of reasoning and kept me from what I like to call it "becoming white". Always reminding me that I am Chinese and with that there are traditions and rules we have to follow. His generosity and willingness to help will not be forgotten. It was an honor to know you and call you brother. I will truly miss you.
