Not sure what to say?

13 years. How wild is that? You´re still on my mind often. I wonder if you ever thought about how much of an impression you´d leave. Things are really interesting these days- Remember when I called you back in 2008 and asked you if you ever thought we´d have a person of color as a President? You told me, in absolute disbelief, "No. I never thought this would happen." That was back in the Obama days. We might have the first female President come January, Goong. :)

12 years later and I still think about you every day. Love you so much. Christy

Hey Goong, It´s been almost 11 years since you went on. I´ll never stop missing you. Thank you for continuing to inspire me- and countless others. Until next time, Christy

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Chow family at the loss of your your precious husband,father, grand father & friend. Chris had the ability to touched the hearts of all he met, he and Rowena taught us so very much these past two years about love,dedication, & the acceptance of our human frailities.
Because of their lessons our lives are forever changed, and we thank them!
Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.

Lee & Beverly Gase

I miss you Goong. So much. I love you and can't wait until we can eat heavenly dim sum together again. Until then, I'll continue to thank you every day for the guiding advice and unconditional love. The whole family says hello. Dad really misses you, too. You're the best.

Dear Chow family:

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dr. Chow was a friend of my father's Dr. John C. Doiron. About 15 years ago my brother's wife Fiona was experiencing some extraordinary pain and went to the emergency room at Kaiser. She was dismissed and sent home. A week later she passed out from the pain and was again dismissed. My father contacted Dr. Chow who looked into what was going on. It turned out that she had pancreatic cancer. Dr. Chow discovered this and she...

Chris and I were classmates at George Washington High School along with our late colleague, Carlene Chan. We went through pre-med at Berkeley and then were again classmates in Medical School.
Although we lost contact some years ago, I have known of his accomplishments. My condolences to his family.

Chris was a pioneer and a wonderful person. Our sympathies to the Chow family.

Chris was my first Primary Care physician at KP Santa Clara and became a good friend, not only to me but to all the people with whom he came into contact. He is missed!
