“May he RIP.” ~ Stephen Ng Tin Hoi

“He will be missed by all!” ~ Andrew Kam Cheung Lung

“Indeed bad news!”
Haven’t seen Wat since the early 70’s but the time we spent together in scouting was as vivid as yesterday’s happenings. When I was PL of Antelope, Wat was my Patrol Second and was thoroughly helpful. His big build rendered him always took up a lot more stuff… carrying the heavy canvas tent, bamboos, etc than other scouts in walking the 8-miles journeys… and many other fond memories.
Indeed miss him, and wish him peace and happiness in the kingdom of God.” ~

8 mile journey !  have not heard that term for over 40 years … yes  fond memories.” ~Fred Hsu

Charles was diagnosed with kidney cancer 2 years ago.
His condition got worse early this year.

Flew to Houston, Texas on Sunday and was able to see him for a few hours.  He passed away in his sleep Monday morning peacefully.  He was survived with wife, Winnie, and 2 sons, Nicholas( 28 yrs )and Christopher ( 25yrs ).
Family had a private service April 22 and body was cremated.
I will miss him very much.  I had known Charles since 3rd grade for 52 years.
