Patrick Yeunnong Ng

Patrick Yeunnong Ng was born on May 3, 1947 to Dr. Pek Si Wu and Ngar Ching Lam in Nanking, China. He was the third of six children and served as the head of household after the untimely passing of his elder two siblings and his father. He graduated from Pui Ying High School in Hong Kong in 1967. He was diligent in his studies and was accepted as an international student that same year. During the summers, he worked in the family restaurant in Chicago, Illinois. In 1969, he transferred as an electrical engineering student to San Jose State University. There he met Kim Lam through his roommate, who was also her church friend. He accepted Christ and was baptized in 1972. They married in November 1973. He often said the greatest achievement in his life was marrying Kim. They had two daughters and one son. Patrick was exceptionally industrious and family-oriented. He was employed as a computer systems programmer for various large Bay Area companies throughout his career. In 1980, he founded his own translation and interpreting company, Asian Connection, where he enjoyed helping those in his native Mandarin and Cantonese. After hours, he and his wife supported the family restaurant, Blue Sky Chinese Restaurant, in San Francisco's Sunset District. Over the years, he also sponsored his siblings and their families to emigrate from Hong Kong to the United States. After early retirement in 2003, he enjoyed serving others through his language skills and babysitting his grandchildren. Patrick loved learning, collecting, culture and nature. He organized articles he found interesting and made efforts to stay informed on almost any topic. Even while watching television, he would take copious notes. He enjoyed collecting almost anything, especially beautiful rocks, paintings, books, and antiques. He often passed his interests onto his grandkids, making them homemade toys and starting scientific collections for them. He loved to travel and to experience different cultures, especially ethnic music and dance. A family trip to China and cruising with family and friends were some of his favorite trips. He also loved good food. Buffets were a favorite three-hour affair. In February, Patrick was diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite aggressive treatment, he passed away peacefully on April 30, 2014, surrounded by his family and friends. He is survived by Kim, his wife of 41 years; daughters Melody (Vernon) Lee and Monica (James) Burnette; son Eric; his five grandchildren; and the families of his younger brother and two sisters. We will always remember his tenacity, strength, curiosity, generosity and humor. We will miss him greatly, but find peace that he is now forever in God's care. 今日我們在這裡記念�苑濃先生的生平。 他是�甘心愛的丈夫；是以�，以�，和權�敬愛的爸爸，更是五�孫兒女們親愛的外祖父。 �苑濃先生於1947年5月3日在中國�京出生。父親�百��士是�京大學教授. �親是林雅貞女士。在父�家中他是排行第三。�有二�妹妹和一�弟弟。他出生後一年便隨父�回鄉下居�。在1951年全家到廣州生活。在1962年全家�到香港生活，就讀培英中學。在1967年他赴美留學。並於1969年轉讀 San Jose State University 的電機工程系。在大學讀書的時候，�苑濃先生接�了主耶穌為他個人的救主，得了永生的盼望，並在1972年接�了水禮，作了一個生命的見証。�時也�識了�校的�學林�甘��。並於1973年感�節，得蒙神和父�的��，二人�為夫婦。他在臨別時也�忘告訴太太說：「你是我一生最大的��和�就。多�妳�我的愛。�他們�甘共苦建立了一個美滿的家庭。並且默默耕耘，負上很大的努力去支�家庭的生�；用愛心栽培他們三�兒女完�了高等教育。 �苑濃先生從�深�父�親的教誨，好學�倦， �學兼優，�列�茅，他的父�和弟妹們都以他為榮。 他也�負眾望，學業和事業皆有�。他先後在數間出�的機構從事電腦軟件行業。在業餘時，他發�了他的專長和愛好，為很多有需�的�人担任翻譯。忠心地�務了�人社�三�多年。 �苑濃先生為人忠誠，樂善好施，平易近人。他更是一�虔誠的基�徒。他和家人加入三藩市溢樂�人浸信會，全家一�敬拜神，享�主裡大家庭的温暖喜樂。 感�神的��，�苑濃先生有一個�盛的人生。他甚得家人和朋�們的愛戴。他將會永�被懷念是一�忠心愛家庭的丈夫和父親。他更是一�慈祥的祖父和良師益�。�苑濃先生在2014年4月30日，�了地上的勞苦，回到更美的天家，安�主懷�
