I am very sorry to hear about your Dad's passing, Rod. I know very well what you are going through.
In time, the pain of the loss will fade, but all the wonderful memories will crystalize and you will be smiling every time you think of him. How could you not? He was a wonderful man who lived a fantastic life.
I will never forget the time (and tea) we shared a couple of years ago at that lake near Merritt. I could sense I was in the company of a great man. He was indeed, genuine and warm.
Rest in peace, Mr. Chin Hwa Hsu.
