I have known Reverend Ho since I was 8 years old going to Sunday school at the church. He always had a warm smile and a few words of laughter for us every time. I had the privilege to see him officiate many family and friends throughout the years and had the honor of him officiating my own wedding. Reverend and Mrs. Ho has touched many lives over the years and my husband and I feel so blessed to have known him. We will miss him deeply. Our thoughts and prayers will be with the entire family.

My Dear Susan, David, Ruth, Dan, Ben and spouses,
What a privilege to have known the Ho family! All the love and caring you have shown our family while neighbors in Brookfield has never been forgotten. We have so many beautiful memories that have warmed us through the years as we recall them when we get together. We send our love
and sympathy to each and everyone of you at this time. We are sorry we cannot be with you in person to help you through the pain of losing Charles and also to help celebrate the joy of his resurrected life. May you be granted the gift of acceptance and we pray for God's blessing.
Thank you for all the special moments you shared with
Bill, Joe, Sarah, Jack, Maria and me. Peace and Love,

I will be forever thankful to Pastor Ho for his faithful ministry. One of hundreds of children that grew up in his church and to have him years later presiding over my wedding. 31 years later my wife and I still remember his guidance and wisdom on how marriage is never perfect but perfected through our trials and faith in God. Thank you heavenly Father for the life of Charles Ho, reflecting the light of your son Jesus on all he served. Our prayers and thanksgiving to the Charles Ho family.

Had the pleasure to meet and get to know Rev Ho as a youth. God speed.

I grew up knowing Reverend Ho as a Milwaukee leader in the Chinese church community. As a little girl, I always hoped that he would conduct my wedding ceremony someday.

Many years later, Reverend Ho & Mrs Ho did attend our wedding, and Rev Ho was our officiant. He made the ceremony so very special for us. We will always treasure those memories, as will so many other wedded couples that he officiated.

Rev Ho & Mrs Ho will always have a special place in our hearts. Sending our deepest condolences to the entire Ho Family.
