Not sure what to say?

Rosemary and family:
Sorry for your loss. We recollect Ping's illustrious career and the times Bill serve next to him. Our memories are many and with fondest regards to Ping and the whole family.
Your children can live knowing of what a great man their father was and Coast Guardsman. He certainly was a true leader and friend, as well as you.

Dear Rosemary, David, Cindy, Yen and Family,
I hope you are comforted by the knowledge that Ping was loved and respected by so many people - as evidenced by the multitude of prayers and good wishes that came his way from former classmates, colleagues and friends when he was ill. Joyce Richardson pegged him beautifully in her tribute here. He will be sorely missed, but we treasure the wonderful memories he has left us.

Dear Hsu Family
My prayers are with each of you during this time. God be with each of you.

So sorry Ping was not able to be at our 50th reunion. Sounds like he had a wonderful life.
May God give you peace in your sorrow.

Rosemary, David, Cindy, and Rosie:
A day will never pass without a fond remembrance of Ping. Our lives and careers were, for several brief years, intertwined. He was my mentor. A great leader, humanitarian and American. He exuded courage and always took the high road. He showed us a great zest for life. Never ambitious, always humble...ready to attack the next problem and surmount life's hurdles. He's a hero to me and another will not soon pass our way. I offer the Smith family's...

Dear Rosemary, David, Cindy, and Family: We have been so blessed to know Ping and all of you. Beginning with the days in Mobile with our deployments, then reconnecting with you at the airport in Japan as you were bringing Rosie back home. Most of all we will never forget Ping's words that his illness "brought me closer to God and to Rosemary and family." We miss our dear brother, but know he is with the Lord Jesus now. May God's comfort and peace be with you during these days.
Love, Frank...

Dear Rosemary and family--I think of the special times when Ping was with you at our AAUW events and he would talk so proudly of the children and it was clear how fond he wa of you. In every way, he was always kind and encouraging and personally generous of his time and talents. Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this time.

I had the happy chance encounter of meeting Ping at the Burke Rehabilitation Center, while visiting Jim Ayres, a mutual friend. Both Jim and Ping were battling their own health issues, and both were keeping a positive outlook. It was sheer serendipity that these two longtime friends wound up in the same facility. Ping immediately impressed me as someone I would remember with awe. He was a very special person, and I feel blessed to have met him. I am so sorry for your loss. Peace be with your...
