Thank you Uncle Laurence for the Special LA Times Edition you sent me last April of 2021. I was touched to know you shared the same sentiment with me; on core values and integrity.  And, great endeavours have been met with resistance.
We carve your name in our hearts, not tombstones. Your lagacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories we all share about you. 

From Louisiana in Toronto 

My dearest uncle, 

Similar puppet received from you when I was a kid. I could still remember the joy when I got the present from you. You were always a thoughtful person, remembered our birthdays and anniversaries. Even though we are apart, I am sure we will meet again in heaven.  Love you !

Your youngest niece, 
Amy 

Words cannot express my sorrow.  RIP, Laurence.

Dear Uncle Laurence,

Wish you Rest In Peace and follow your will to visit every place on earth…

2009 August  The Collector of souvenirs ... ticket for the sightseeing coach in Singapore.

There will be no more Santa Claus in my life...
A person that's 
only to give,
always thankful to people,
never raised his voice,
always brought us laugh,
a 100% 'gentle'-man....
all these memories of my Dearest 二舅父 Uncle Laurence will last forever 

2009 August  Looking for something exotic to eat at the local street food market in Singapore.

2009 August  Up on the Ferris wheel looking down at Singapore.

2009 August  Planning his program for the day in Singapore.

January 2009  Getting his new Lunar calendar for the New Year, something he wanted every year.

2008  Christmas at the Sheraton, Daimeisha, Shenzhen.

His favourite ... travelling, coming out from the airport.

Rest in peace and hope you are having a great buffet every day!  Thank you for all the good times, treating us to so many fancy buffets and inviting to cruises from Alaska all the way down to Mexico.   We will all miss you!

80th Birthday Celebration on cruise ship! 
Keep on cruising!

Rest In Peace , Uncle Laurence . No more worries of what kind of food not to eat .  

Happy Birthday Uncle Laurence!  Always enjoying life!

Enjoy great food in heaven.  RIP, Uncle Laurence!

No doubt, Uncle Laurence led a happy and fulfilling life.  Although Uncle Laurence moved to San Diego in the 80s, he travelled back to Hong Kong almost every year in the last few decades.  We would meet up during his stay.  The photo below was taken at The Excelsior in Hong Kong on 25 December 2015  when Uncle Laurence hosted buffet luncheon for us.  The Excelsior closed its doors in March 2019 and Uncle Laurence sadly left us too.  He will always be remembered.
