My sincerest condolences to the family of my colleague and consultant, Bob Kwee. Since the time I was his resident way back at St. Mary's, I recognized his competence and human touch. Indeed, those patients whom I I have befriended and were as well followed by Bob share my sympathies. He was a gentleman who is gone much too soon.

It is with great sadness and shock that I learned about my Dr. Kwee's passing. I've known him for almost 30 years. He always treated me as a family member and not just a patient. Not long ago, he reminded me of how spoiled I was by him. I will always remember his good sense of humour, smile and positive attitude and determination. He was not only a Doctor to me but also a good and caring friend. I thank him for his good advice in times of need. He promised to see me in July! He loved his family and was always telling me what his two sons were up to.
May God be with his family and may he bless his soul.
Dr. Kwee, you will always be missed by all of us and I will never forget you.

Dr. Kwee was my mother's cardiologist for the past 28 years, and was briefly mine in 2009. Our family was shocked to hear of his illness and saddened to hear of his passing. It doesn't seem fair that someone who brought so much to the medical profession and was so instrumental in helping so many people should suffer so in his final days. We owe him a lifetime of gratitude ...thank you, Dr. Kwee... you will never be forgotten. May God bless your family in this time of sorrow.
