Well, you and I the JookSing, that we founded the Southern California Council of

Your term 76-77 and mine 77-78 if I remember correctly.

It was with great sadness that we learned of Uncle Tom's passing. A life-long friend of my father and mother and a kindhearted and generous uncle to myself and my own wife and daughter.

I close my eyes and i start to remember... it's a sunny day and I am walking to lunch with my dad in LA Chinatown. We open the door and there is Tom with his beaming grin and hearty laugh inviting us over to join him. It was always fun to share a bowl of soup noodles with Tom. So humble, so friendly, so down to earth.... so much fun

I remember his excitement when we invited him to eat at The Grove and we rode the electric car (street car) inside The Grove. I miss Tom, his laugh and his humor, but his memory will be...
