  • I am Jimmy's wife Sui-Ling's first cousin.Sui-Ling and I grew up together in China.Jimmy and Sui-Ling graciously hosted me when I attended College in Winnipeg in the late 1970's. He was very kind and gentle. He loved his wife and his children. He gave me sound advises when I was indecisive on live's issues. His children were his treasures. Keith was about 4 and Patrick was 1. I remembered I taught Keith sing Chinese Hymn "At the Cross"and a familiar Chinese Opera. Keith learned fast and sang loud and made everyone laugh. Jimmy was delighted when he came home from work. Jimmy was an excellent son to his parents, great husband and father. Rest in peace Jimmy. I will see you again in our heavenly Father's home. - Posted by: Lily Chan (Cousin in law) on: Mar 04, 2016

  • Though I must have not seen Jimmy for more than 30 years, his smiles and gentleness imprinted on my mind ever so clear. He was nice to us, who were the silly nutty teenage friends of his younger sisters and brothers. Sure I felt he was such a good elder brother and son. My condolences and prayers to Shui Ling, Keith and Patrick , and Stella, Mabel, Thomas and John....the family that always laughs. May our Lord wipe away all your tears and give you strength to eventually overcome the loss. Jimmy, rest in peace in the Bosom of our Lord. - Posted by: Rebecca Yung (Family friend) on: Mar 04, 2016
