Chu Jeng CHIU

Dear Jane, Wendy & Daniel:
We are not aware of the obituary in the Montreal Gazette until now. Ray was an eminent surgeon, scholar, gentleman, good friend and mentor to us. Through Jane, a colleague of mine, we have known Ray for more than four decades. Whenever we were in Montreal, Ray and Jane were a must for our visit. The fond memories of many scintillating conversations and gourmet dinners with the best French pastries are indelible in our minds. We admire, love and miss him immensely. His achievement is a beacon on a hill illuminating, enlightening, inspiring and motivating many including us.
With our condolence, admiration and appreciation.
Jack and Margaret Fong, Newtown, CT

Dear Chou Family I worked with Raymond at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn when he was a resident and I was a young nurse. He became my mentor. He was a great help to a young nurse finding her way in medicine. I never forgot him. I am sorry to he about his passing. May he rest in piece Rita McNamara,R.N.

Dear Jane, Wendy and Daniel!
Loosing a loved one is the deepest pain possible and the loss of your beloved husband and father is devastating! I adored Ray as he was the most inspiring, respected, sweet man I have ever worked with! I will truly miss him and feel grateful to have known him for so many years! Working with Ray at the USC and spending private time with you all is very precious to me and will stay in my heart for ever! I wish you all a lot of strength through this very difficult time and may the sweet memories of your dearest love keep you going! He will be in your hearts always and for ever! My deepest sympathy and warm hugs to you all!

Dear Jane, Wendy and Daniel, I am very saddened to know that dear Ray is not with us anymore. He was such an amazing man, he was such an incredible inspiration to all who he touched. I feel very fortunate to have been able to work for him for 10 years at the USC. He will be very missed. May all the great memories he left with you give you enough strength to go on in the days to come. With love,

I was driving home late from a long day in the operating room and thinking about how grateful I was to my friend and mentor Ray Chiu. i was thinking that I really needed to call him and tell him how important he was to me and how grateful i was to have met him and worked with him. i arrived home to find an email from Emma saying that Ray had died. A better man than Ray Chiu you'll have a hard time to find.

Dearest Wendy,
With deepest sympathy in the loss of your Father.
May the warm and special memories you shared with him stay with you and bring comfort through all the days ahead.

Dr. Chiu is not only a mentor to me but also more like a grandfather. He made everyone of us feel that we could achieve high and dream big !! I miss him. Wish his passion, ,endurance, and compassion be carried forward by his students and family.

Our deepest condolences!
Ray was a great friend, colleague and a true gentleman. We shall miss him

To the Chiu family, thank you. Thank you for sharing such a remarkable man who insisted on passing the torch to all those around him..even strangers who visited in his last days on Christmas Day when we had the true pleasure of meeting him. He shared his story so that we too can be encouraged to dream and to dream big! God bless you all.

Dear Chiu Family,
It was with great sadness that I learned about your loss. Dr. Chiu was a gentleman and an inspiration to me as a medical student when I did a Cardio-Thoracic rotation at MGH. I will never forget the hospitality he showed me as a visitor from Columbus, Ohio in Montreal, and I will always remember his kindness and compassion. He inspired me to not only be a better physician, but also person.

Dear Wendy, I was sorry to hear about your father's death. My condolences to you and your family. My thoughts are with you. Joan Robins
