Dr. Alphonsus Hui was my family doctor and my friend's father.
Dr. Hui was the GP for most of my life as well as my family's (father, wife, son, grandfather).
I was completely devastated in 2015 when I heard the news from my friend on fb. I was in utter disbelief that someone, who helped me physically and mentally through my care needs, died sooner than I did.
It was a horrific way to die too. I don't believe that he died instantly. I wish he did though, so that he could not feel any pain. Someone who helped so many, exited this world by suffering a tragic painful death... on his way to work... to serve others. That is so unfair. I visited the crash site a number of times to personally grieve. I printed off a news article and posted it so that pedestrians who passed by would learn that Dr. Hui wasn't just anyone, but what I would deem a "contributor" to society, especially for the Chinese Elder community. He added to this world, he didn't subtract from it. Much like John Norwich aka Gwilo on revscene. (edit: I'm glad to see that there is a website memorial made for him now
Dr. Alphonsus Hui: In Memorium)
anyhow thanks for listening.
