I was very shocked and my eyes were brimming with tears when I was told that you left us and returned to heaven, although the news came to me a few days later. People say that life is unpredictable and anything may happen any time, but I still can’t believe that it happened to you already, such a nice man as you.
雖然晚了幾天才獲悉你已離開我而到天國逍遙,但那一瞬間,讓我內心激動而眼淚奪眶而出,久久不能自已。雖然說,人生無常,任何事情皆有可能發生,但我也認為這種事情怎可能會發生在你這?優秀善良的人身上呢
?上天或許也會有不公平的時候吧?

We joined Fongyuan Toastmaster club almost at the same time 14 years ago to learn the skills of communication and leadership. Quite frankly, I didn’t pay much attention to the program of Toastmaster as you did at beginning. But after my observation for long time, I witnessed those you, as well as other members such as Dennis Chen or Charles Chan, were learning intensively, even took club’s officer position to serve members enthusiastically , also dedicated to charter new clubs and finally promoted to become Division Governor ?? an excellent leader. You had made a big contribution to Toastmasters. Your sincerity and enthusiasm have affected many members. Following your step, I started my service by accepting the position as VPPR of FYTC in 2002 to serve members. Several years later, I was elected to the highest position as District Governor of D?67 in 2009 under members’endless encouragement and support. I obtained the position and honor just because I followed your spirit to serve members sincerely.
我們前後加入豐原英語演講會,共同學習溝通與領導技巧,迄今已逾十四年了。老實說,前幾年中,我並不像你那樣全心投入。但目睹你們,包括陳祚苑及詹德聰等會友們,專心學習,又擔任分會幹部熱心服務會員,並且致力推廣及創立新會,而後被選為部總監,成為最傑出的領導人。對國際演會而言,貢獻良多。你的熱誠奉獻精神,已感動了許多會友。我也是受了你們的感召,而在
2002 年決定擔任豐原分會的公關副會長,開始服務會友。爾後,受大家的鼓勵與支持,晉升到擔任總會長的職位。我有這個榮幸,就是受到你的感召而決定追隨你的腳步,以熱忱的服務來領導整個大團隊。

You deserve your achievements and our respect. I recall the day we worked together, you assisted many senior members to charter many new clubs in Central Taiwan, for example, Da-chia TC, Wen ?Chun TC and Anvil TC, etc. You also helped me to charter many clubs later. Moreover, you accepted my invitation in 2005?2007 to Taichung County Public Health Bureau and Taichung Prison to open English Talking classes to promote the English speaking ability for many people. I think it's the happiest time we had in those years.
回憶我們幾年的相處的期間中,你有許多讓我們敬佩的事跡,包括你協助幾位資深會友,共同創立了幾個分會,例如大甲,文昌或鐵砧演講會等,後來也協助我開創許多分會,你真是最會接生的會員。此外,你不辭辛勞,在
2006 年期間,接受我的邀請到台中縣衛生局及台中監獄等地,開創英語會話班,幫助別人英語能力的提升。我常認為,那是一段最美好的共同奮鬥時光。

I also found that you have many excellent characters of leader when recollect your philosophy of life with others. It includes:
1. Kind and gentle personality treat people kindly and never lost your temper.
2. Integrity Insist to follow the idea of extension and service of Toastmasters.
3. Learning spirit -  you are an erudite leader but never stop to learn.
4. Lead by service Never regretted to serve members and to help clubs to growth.

回想你的為人處事,我發現你有幾點令人折服的領袖氣質,包括下列幾點:
一、仁慈?和的個性:待人隨和而從不發脾氣。
二、正直的氣質:堅持演講會的推廣及服務理念,從不打折。
三:學習不已的精神:博學又好學,教導會友。
四、服務的領導態度:無怨無悔的服務態度幫助會員及分會的成長。

I believe that all of your special characters are worthy of our respect and following. I was fortunate to have your accompanying and support to become an excellent member. In the future, I will still follow your spirit to serve more members.
我認為,這些特質都是你吸引我們的尊敬並加以學習的原因。我慶幸過去有你的相陪及支持,而成為傑出的會員。今後,我也效法你的特質,真誠服務別人。

Wishing you have peaceful rest with God in Heaven!
安息吧
! 祝你一路好走,逍遙天國,安享無限的快樂與自在!
