Dear Barbara. I believe that I taught both Alvin and Albin at Upper Mt Gravatt State School. Please know that I admired the courage and tenacity the Yuen family showed in their early years in their new homeland.
May you and your family know how much I admired the Yuen family.
Best wishes from

It is so difficult to let the sad truth sink in that Alvin has gone. With heavy hearts, our memories of Alvin are that of a cheerful, positive thinking and tough but modest man who always had so many things to do, with even more in his plan of things to do. His achievements inspire others to push to do more...

We pray for this spirit of always giving our best to carry on and, with our deepest condolences, that Barbara, Tiffany and your families will find peace and strength to continue in their loving memories of Alvin's great legacy...

My sincere condolences upon hearing this sad news. I remember Alvin back when he was a fun-loving, friendly pharmacy student colleague of my brother & again the times we'd bump into each at Market Square. He was obviously always busy but always had an upbeat encouraging comment to make and that same youthful smile I remember from University. A good man to know.
