Hugh was a kind and generous gentleman. Most gentle, loving and caring to all who knew him, especially to his beloved, beloved wife and family. He always went out of his way to be helpful. He was very active and contributed much as a member of the Toronto Chinese United Church.

As a good friend of Lily and Hugh for over half of a century, Hugh will be very sorely missed on earth, but memories live on. Hugh had lived a life of a true Christian, we will meet again in Heaven.

My deepest condolences to Lily and family at this difficult time. You are always in my heart and prayers.
