Welcome to WYKAAO
Francis Ho passed away in Montreal last Thursday, June 9.
Francis was the School Captain in 1957-58, heading a team of Prefects who included Andrew So Kwok Wing, (Rev.) George Zee, John Lee Yiu Kwong, (Dr.) StanislausTang Wing Kuen and other able prefects. Since his arrival in Canada in the sixties, he had settled in Montreal. A member of WYKAAO, he tried to attend our functions and meet with his class of 57 whenever he came to Toronto. His presence was refreshing in any company. His absence would be greatly missed at our gatherings. May he rest in peace.
To Jenny and the family, we extend our condolences.

We wish Fr. Deignan speedy recovery.

The FIRST event: Brookhaven National Laboratory (“BNL”) Open House on Sunday July 17, organized and hosted by Lapyan Cheng (former president).
An entertaining Karaoke Night was held in a relaxed and private studio on May 14. While enjoying a handy and well prepared meal, selected concert videos in high-definition were shown to warm up the musical atmosphere. Everyone had a good time in either showing their talents openly or just singing along with the group. The party was wrapped up just before mid-night with everyone still thinking what songs to queue next. Click here to see the pictures and here for a short video clip.
Damien Ku Chi Chung (古志眾) passed away on May 11 in Hong Kong. This sad news came as a great shock to all his Wah Yan friends. It was on May 5 that they received an email from him, saying that he realized only 17 days ago he had cancer originated from the thymus gland spreading to liver and bones and that he had received four radiation therapies, waiting for chemotherapy treatment. A devout Catholic, he placed his trust in God and asked them for prayers.
Damien spent 8 years in Wah Yan Kowloon from Primary 6 in 1956 to Upper Six Science in 1963 and went on to Hong Kong University to complete an engineering degree. Always cheerful and friendly, he could be singled out in all his class photos with his smiling face. View his album here.
May he rest in peace. The family appreciates all the good wishes and prayers and there is no need to send any flowers and gifts.

"Much pain has been caused over the in-take issue, all with the best intentions.
Though not directly addressed to many, I hope all who love WY, will respond and pray for the healing and work for the future in unity of heart, mind and action. A.M.D.G.
I'm copying to HK Jesuits, WYK SMC, my beloved Form 2 (1966), and a few on WYOFF, in Vancouver, Anthony Ho in Toronto..... I think Fr. Deignan won't mind if Monty (WYOFF) and Tom Ho (WYKPSA) ... could circulate this letter around more alumni. We are living the Passion and hopefully the Resurrection of Christ through these events.
Many thanks for all the love for WY expressed in different ways throughout the world." -- Fr. George Zee
