Dear Ted, Kathy, Dan and Chrissy and your entire Woo extended family. Our deepest condolences to you all at the loss of Mr. Davis Woo, a beloved man who was a great husband, father, and friend.
He will be missed of course, and his love for his family will continue in your hearts and memories.
He gave a lot to his Chinatown community and its many civic and social agencies for many years and gave his savvy and leadership skills for the betterment of all.
I will remember his wicked sense of humor and how much he like to laugh and joke around. A man of many accomplishments, he saved his best to provide for the great Woo family of his children and grandchildren.
He was an uncommon commoner, he remembered his roots,and gave us a lot of good times. Rest in peace Davis, and God bless you.

Dear Teddy: I like that you added information about the last trip to Disney. I really think the Disney Corporation should construct a monument in his liking. I so enjoy your stories about your Dad; what a character he was! Just wait, the memories will give you so much comfort. Take care kid.

Love you Babay ❤

Kathryn I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I loved seeing all the pictures from your last Disney trip - It was easy to see how proud he was of his family. I never met him but feel fortunate to finally run into you at Lowes and make our friendship more than the facebook one we had. No doubt your parents were the best of the best seeing how beautiful of a person you are. Sending lots of hugs and prayers your way. xoxo
