A proud father, amazing grandfather, loving husband, loyal friend, faithful Christian and courageous American. Borned in 1935 in mainland China, he escaped his Communist homeland almost fifty years ago by swimming to Hong Kong where he would eventually meet his beautiful wife. They moved to the United States shortly, where they settled in New York City. A retired Organic Chemistry instructor and businessman, his proudest moment in his life was his successful and daring escape to Hong Kong which he attributed to the power of God completely. His happiest moment was the birth of his son and later the births of his grandchildren. When discovered he had cancer, he was determined to fight the disease and was determined to put his life in God’s hands. He remained strong and relentless in his love for family, country and God. Amidst the long and exhausting battle with his cancer, he never gave up his love for family or faith in the Lord. He loved God and America. He loved this great nation and freedom.
