My dear neighbour and “Little Friend” would have been 105 years young this coming 1st December 2018.

Wai-Leung Kwok touched me very deeply; from the get-go. I am blessed to have had the privilege & opportunity to meet him, share a friendship I will cherish until my last breath, and be there for him. I wish for everyone the gift to meet someone like Mr. Kwok on their respective journeys; he was a truly remarkable and unique gentleman.

Mr. Kwok was loved by all in his building; two things fondly remembered were the ever-present twinkle in those wise eyes and his infectious smile. I was often on the receiving end of his humour, the prodding of his elbow into my side (while making it known I had many excess pounds to give him when he was advised to gain weight), and delivered with his cheeky little laugh.

To know my “Little Friend” was to experience a positive attitude many should aspire to, an unconditional approach to life and those around him; as well as a true gentleness of spirit.

If I may paraphrase from the poem ‘Footprints in the Sand’:

When I look back on my friendship with Mr. Kwok, I will always notice two sets of footprints in the sand; for he will forever be by my side…

Thinking of you at this sad time. Your love and respect for your father was evident by your conversations about him, and your many visits to Toronto to care for him.

Uncle Kwok lived a good and long life with a loving and caring family of 4 generations. The Ko family is fortunate to have known the Kwok family for over 70 years from Hong Kong to Canada. My wife and I had the chance to see him regularly until his passing and were impressed by his cheerful and positive spirit. Uncle Kwok and I shared the passion of tennis and he sometimes reminded me of watching the matches on TV!!

It is always difficult to see the loved one go but we were all blessed to have touched by his wisdom, laugh, and love. Best wishes to the family.

We are sad to hear of your father's passing. Indeed, at 104, Uncle Kwok has lived a happy and long life. Even though distance separated us for a long period (perhaps 50 years since I left Hong Kong), I will always remember Uncle Kwok as a kind and gentle uncle. Our love and condolences to the Kwok family.
