John Ping-Wah Lau

John was such a kind, fun, supportive person - we miss him and think about him all the time. Rest well John.

Cousin John, you have left way too soon, I will hold on to the special memories we had, goodbye until we meet again.

Knowing you for almost 20 years, it feels both long and short at the same time. What impressed me the most was when you, Camy, and I performed an evangelistic play together. You played a police officer. Your humor and wit filled the room with laughter. You always had a smile on your face. You didn´t say much, but your words always brought a knowing smile to those who heard them. Your smile remains deeply etched in my heart.

When you found out I retired and worried I might feel bored, you even invited me to join you all on a boat trip. Thank you for that.

Now, you are with God. On earth, I miss you dearly. But I know you are in heaven, where it is far better. Until we meet again in our heavenly home, I´ll be thinking of you here on earth.

We are grateful that we met John in our life. We miss him.

In loving memory of a wonderful person, John. We will love you and miss you always.

I met John at Delia School which we had a memorable teenager time with full of happiness. John was a very gentle and sporty guy always with smiling face. We missed John when he went to US for his further study and years later we were happy to reunion with him again. John was so nice that he never changed. The video he specially made for our trip to Chicago recalling our good time at Chicago which I met his lovely wife Camy. We missed John a lot but he will be in our hearts forever. RIP

John was our best brother in law and Camy's good husband, he was kind, funny, and had a sense of humor. This was the picture we took in May 2024 to celebrate my older sister, Lydia's birthday. We all love him, and he is sadly missed. Her positive energy and attitude inspired all of us. His life was amazing and full of uncountable blessings. Our heart will be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as we celebrate a life well lived. John brought the happiness to all his friends, co-workers, and family. Let's keep John's spirits and walk every steps in our life with our God's love and mercy.

John was always an uplifting presence, especially during the struggles of transporting kids to school during the COVID pandemic. I strive to emulate your positivity, John.

Keep flighting even under hard and difficult situations.

When walking in Chicago Downtown where he used to live.

He wears those toes socks.

We met John in the Table Tennis Club in Aurora, IL in 2007. Our friendship continues even though we moved to different states. John's positive attitude and passion for outdoor activities motivated people around him. Inspired by John, Peter completed 2012 Chicago Marathon. John, your cheerful spirit and your good humor will be always with us.

It has been my great honor to have known John through BVSD. He was authentic, compassionate and brought out the best in others. He courageously fought cancer while making lasting memories with his beloved Camy. Rest in peace John.

I had a great time seeing John at work and at the at the Boulder YMCA. We be talking and he always was laughing and smiling. I'm gonna miss my friend

Camy condolences to you and your family. He was a wonderful person who will be missed. I worked with him at BVSD and he made everyone's day a lot brighter.

BVSD Transportation misses you so much!! What a bright light you were for all of us! You're number 1!

Will miss John dearly.
In God´s Care.

John was so much fun, everyone wanted to climb with him. Always kind, supportive and funny - he kept us laughing!

I miss my brother, he was a nice person.

I met John in DMS of year 7 ( Form 1). His personality and character was so good and amazing which we became good friends for 50 years. He played important leader role in our group activities during the teenagers stages for swimming, hiking, camping, wild bbq, hiking and mahjong game.
Even though he moved to USA and I moved to Australia, our friendship never stopped.

In 2014 , he came to visit me in Sydney, coincidentally he had the same birthday date with my son on Jan 20, so we bought 2 cakes and celebrated with him on the same day together. He was so surprised and happiest..

In 2018, we arranged a Taiwan holiday for 5 days before we went to join DMS 40 years graduation anniversary party. John booked a hotel room with big tatami beds for 4 men slept together. In which it bought us back the olden days old of camping experience . This was the last chance I met him before the Covid started and ended in 3 years times.

John I miss you so much. Rest peacefully. God will look after you. One day we will meet in heaven again.

Best Regards
William

I met John as the Schoolmates in Delia Memorial School. I remember his smile, he always smile and positive. We lost touch for 30+ years after the graduation. God arranged us to meet again in HK, we had some good catch up a couple times these years, his smile has never changed. You will be missed.

John was a great climber and a great climbing partner. He was always fun to be with. He always had a joke to keep us smiling and was always supportive of other climbers - such as pleasure to be with!

I met John in the rock climbing gym in Golden Colorado. John always had a joke to lighten our mood and was always fun and supportive. Such a kind, funny man. He will be greatly missed!
