TO MEMORY TIMELINE
Dear Uncle, It is with great sadness that we learned of your passing. Knowing that we will no longer have the chance to share moments together is deeply painful, but there is also comfort in knowing that you are now at peace and no longer suffering. You have always been an inspiration to us — a steady pillar of support, and someone who encouraged us to pursue what we believed in and stand by our choices. We wanted to share a small moment of joy — a photo Karyn found from our wedding day, when you travelled all the way with the family to be there and celebrate with us. It’s a memory we hold very dearly. To Kimkim, Clem, Josh, and Raph — we feel grateful to have shared many wonderful moments with Henry and all of you. During this difficult time, please remember that even though we may be apart, you are never alone, and distance does not diminish how close we feel to you. With love, Wenjie & Karyn

Sincere condolences to June and dear ones. Henry is a kind, heartful and respectful person, and blessed in many ways, including having a very loving family.
Hi Henry, I admired your courage, perseverance and cheerfulness in the face of adversity. That is Character. Love to see you at Pickleball swinging the paddle. Enjoy your new Home. Will miss you Partners in Jesus Peter and Winifred Heng
Henry was a kind and thoughtful person, always ready to help. I enjoyed listening to him playing the guitar and singing Petshop Boys songs. And his jokes! It was an honour and privilege for me to have known him. Henry, have fun in your new place. You will be missed. Till we meet again.
We have not been in touch all these years since our NJC days. But I still fondly remember you as a friendly college mate who is always ready to help others and of course, a math prodigy who always play with your pen/pencil as you solved math problems. May you rest in peace and unite with your maker in a better place.

Henry and I first met when we were in the School of Signals during our NS backing in 1977. We were disrupted from NS when we earned some local scholarships to study in NUS, and we ended up staying in the Dunearn Road Hostel. During this time, Henry and Cheng Ker were my teachers who taught me how to play the guitar; Henry even lent me his guitar until I was able to afford to buy one myself. I am glad I was able to communicate with Henry in the last 2 years of his life and share my struggles with cancer. He is now in a better place, and I am forever grateful to Henry for the part he played in my life.. Goodbye my friend until we meet again!!

I first met Henry when we were colleagues at DBS Bank in Singapore in the Corporate Banking Department in the early eighties. Henry very quickly integrated into the fabric of our team at Corporate Banking. Quite the life and soul of our gatherings, whether for social or work related activities. Together with team members like Eng Heng, Na, Chooi Ling, Yam Ling, Amos, Bastari, we bonded well. Henry was quite the social glue with his humorous demeanor, his jokes, his singing and guitar playing. He even sounded “more Bee Gees than Bee Gees” - to quote Na! All of us will miss Henry not just as a good colleague but a dear, dependable friend always willing to help and share. He gave of himself fully to his family and friends. Our deep condolences to June and family for your loss. We will see dear Henry again on the distant shores in God’s good time. To God be the Glory.
Dear June, My deepest condolences to you and your family on your loss. May you and your family find strength during this very difficult time, and may Henry rest in peace.
I met Henry when he joined our Corporate Banking Department in DBS in the early ‘80s. His infectious jovial and can-do spirit never failed to lift the mood among us. He was very generous and helpful too. So much so that he volunteered to be the driver for the bridal car for my wedding, and proceeded to take care of collecting the car, getting it decorated and returning it later (it was a borrowed car). Sadly, we lost touch after he moved to Melbourne. Well Henry, you have gone ahead of us to the Father’s House, please intercede for the rest of us from there, and remember to also “chope” our rooms for us besides doing so for your family. Mag and I are offering Mass intention for your soul for this Friday’s evening Mass and will keep you and your family in our prayers.
My deepest condolences to the family of the late Henry Chia. May the Lord Jesus Christ grant comfort to you in times of sorrow and grief at the loss of Henry. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
June, Clem, Josh and Ralph, Our deepest condolences for your loss. We pray and trust that your pain of loss will, in time, be filled with cherished memories of the countless moments that were spent with Henry. Henry will always be remembered for his generosity, his great sense of humor and his strong faith. We will miss Henry dearly. Do take care! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 The Foo Fighters
Henry 小弟, I am sad to see you leave so soon but I am happy that your sufferings have ended and now you are in God's house. Thank you for the time we spent together. You have never let your spirit down despite your illness. You have been a great friend till the end and I will miss you. Till we meet again.
My heart goes out to you all. He was such a wonderful person, and I am lucky to have had him as my uncle. I’ll never forget his encouraging spirit, how caring and motivating he was to me throughout the years. Sending you and the cousins love and strength during this time. To Uncle Henry, sad to see you go, but I'm glad your sufferings have ended and you're in a better place. Thank you for your kindness,care and encouragement to me, always reminding me that nothing is impossible if you put your heart and dedication to it! You will be missed, my dear Uncle!

Dear Henry, you were faithful and patient till the end, despite all your suffering. Well done! Thank you for loving my family, including my parents and my sons. Jon’s message to you “Hi mom, when you get to Australia, could you help me tell Uncle Henry that I'm grateful to have seen him perform his magic tricks, and that he was the most memorable part of my Australia visits.” Jere said “Thank you for teaching me how to fish, Uncle Henry.” Rest in peace, Henry. Till we meet in heaven!
Hi 701 Henry, Thank you for the wonderful time we had together ever since we met in NJC. The stories you shared, the traditional Teochew sayings you taught, the jokes you told, the songs you sang, our trips to Malacca & Lakes Entrance, our last afternoon tea at Fortnums Restaurant Dandenong, will always be in my mind. You are one of the finest person I have ever met - kind, generous, humble, polite and ever ready to lend a helping hand. I am truly honoured to be your friend. I will miss you.
Dear Henry, looking back it was kind of uncanny that we got to know each other very well in NJC. We did not come from the same primary nor secondary school; we were not in the same tutorial group and we did not even go for the same lectures. The 70s were such a long time ago and we had so much fun together with Raymond, KC and Chee Fai , just to name a few of the guys. Goodbye and thanks for the memories!
I got to know Henry in 1984 when I joined DBS Bank. Henry was my senior. He was a valued member of the team and got along with practically everyone in the bank. Henry, Cheo, Eng Heng and I spent a lot of time together outside of work. We have built so many special memories together. Henry was such a faithful and caring friend. He has a generous heart and was also very helpful to anyone who came across his path. We always enjoyed his sense of humor. We will remember Henry fondly, but are comforted knowing His eternity is secure in the loving presence of Jesus, his Lord and Savior. Praying for God's peace and comfort to be with the family.
You were much loved and strong and cheerful right till the end. I am glad Peng Meng and I made it to visit you and spend that few days with you buying you your favorite food. No words can describe the pain and loss and grief in my heart but I am comforted that you feel no pain anymore and you will be at a better place looking down as us at this messy world and dancing amongst the stars in the galaxy.. till we meet again I want to thank you for being a friend since 1973 and through our best growing up years and being there for Michelle when she was in Melbourne for her uni studies... We all love you and thank you Henry.. go in peace knowing you had fight a good fight

Dear June, sending my deepest condolences to you and family. May God surrounds you and your family with His comfort and gives you strength during this difficult time. I am glad to have met Henry and will remember him for his warmth, sense of humour and laughter. May God grant him eternal rest and peace.
I got to know Henry because of June, he did join us for our gathering and i was gratefully that have a chance to meet Henry. He was a humble, kind person, sometimes funny as well. He went through quite a lot in the last few years and now he can rest peacefully. Words cannot express my feeling for the loss to June and her family, stay strong and you have the support from all of us. 💪💕
Our sincere condolences on the loss of Henry. He was a true fighter and a gentleman, and we hope he finds his peace now as he joins our heavenly father. We wish June and the family are comforted in this time of grief and continue to cherish the wonderful time he spent with them and the impact he had on all of us. Rest in Peace Henry.

A Son, A Brother, A Husband, A Father, An Uncle, A Friend You filled these shoes with the heart of a man A man who knew how to love and be loved In heaven will we meet again <3
Henry was the quintessential gentleman, calm, friendly to all regardless of status and always selflessly giving of his time to those around him. Indeed, it was Henry who drove me to the secondhand dealer in Geylang and helped me buy my first car. That was 40 years ago but kindness has a way of helping one remember the bearer. Rest in peace, dear Henry.
Our deepest condolences to June & family. May the love of God brings peace and comfort to us in this season of grieving. God has promised to prepare a place for Henry in His presence for eternity according to John14:1-4. We know by faith that Henry is now in a better place where there is no more pain and suffering. Treasure and cherish the wonderful time we shared at Whitley Sec Sch.
Dear Henry, you will be remembered for your wonderful sense of humour, your warmth, and the genuine kindness you showed to me. You had a special way of making people feel welcome, and you were always gentle and encouraging with the younger ones. You have that magic to make me always feel comfortable to share my good or bad experience with you, Your passionate about life, generosity of spirit, will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know you.
Our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayer to June and the family. It has been our privilege to know Henry when he and the family first arrived in Melbourne. Henry is a gentleman, a man of faith and an absolute professional in the way he conducted his business. Despite being a quietly spoken man, you can always have a meaningful conversation with him interspersed with a good measure of humour. Good bye Henry, we praise God for your life and look forward to continuing our conversation someday soon. Jesus said “ “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will never die. He will live.” The Lord will call you out of your sleep and reunited you with Him and your loved ones in that Day.
Dear Henry, will always remember and treasure your welcoming smile and the warmth of your welcome to the help you gave at the wedding! Be at peace, you have lived and given to the fullest. It's your time to rest. You always be in our memories . With love.
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of Henry. Having known him since our early days at DBS in the 80s, I’ve had the privilege of seeing his kindness firsthand for over 40 years. He wasn’t just a colleague; he was a dear friend whose cheerful spirit and willingness to help others never wavered. I am heartbroken by his departure and will miss him very much. Wishing his family strength and peace as they navigate this loss.

Condolence Message for Henry Chia Dear Henry Thank you for the friendship since we met at NJC in 1975. We had great times at NJC, NUS and Dunearn Road Hostel. I knew you as a cheerful, friendly, helpful and unassuming person. You were always there to offer a helping hand to those who in need. Your smile always made us feel welcome and at ease. We admired your sense of humour and wittiness. We all enjoyed your company. In September 2017, when Karen and I visited you and June in Melbourne, you spent time driving us around even though you were not in the best of health. We are forever grateful for your kindness and warm hospitality. Your steadfast faith prevailed when God put you through tribulations. Now you have gone home to be with God where you will suffer no more. I will always cherish the moments we spent together, especially the 5 days when Sien Chi and I visited you in Dec 2025. You will be missed.. Till we meet again!

Dear Henry, I will remember your amazing sense of humor and the positivity you carried. Even during your final weeks in the hospital, you kept your spirit high and remained so warm and engaged in our conversations. With deepest sympathy to June and the family. Helena
On behalf of our members of St Alphonsus Choir (Novena church S’pore), we like to express our deepest condolence to the family & loved ones of Henry ..our brother-in-Christ. We appreciate you attending our mass every time you visit S’pore. Though we can’t be in Melbourne to bid goodbye, we will dedicate a hymn to you this Sunday nonetheless. Rest easy now & God is with you..Amen
Dearest June, Clemente, Josh and Raph, our deepest sympathy to your beautiful family. We were so sad to have missed the funeral mass as we were away in Portarlington. We attended mass just before your funeral mass which father offered for the repose of Henry's soul. We came home just in time to watch the funeral mass online. It was truly solemn and beautiful and there wasn't a dry eye. Even the Cheong children, 7 of them with us were very emotional...we were truly there with all of you in spirit. We all treasure the memory of your love and friendship and beaming smile. We were blessed to have you in our lives. May you enjoy and rest in peace in the loving arms of our heavenly Father and our blessed Mother. Also you get to see St Jacob before us who found your kidney donor for you. All our love and prayers Adrian, Penny, Hayley, Joseph, John Paul, Benedict, Kate, Charlotte and Alexander
My deepest condolences on your loss. We hold firm to the promise of Christ, that just as Lazarus was raised, so too will all who believe in Him rise to new life. May this truth bring you solace. Praying for your loved one, and for you and your family. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May God's grace bring you strength and comfort in this time of sorrow.

Knowing that we will no longer have the chance to share moments together is deeply painful, but there is also comfort in knowing that you are now at peace and no longer suffering.

It’s a memory we hold very dearly. To Kimkim, Clem, Josh, and Raph — we feel grateful to have shared many wonderful moments with Henry and all of you. During this difficult time, please remember that even though we may be apart, you are never alone, and distance does not diminish how close we feel to you. With love, Wenjie & Karyn Wenjie

Dearest Aunty Jun Your family is very special to us. It was wonderful to see Uncle Henry surrender to God's will from the very beginning. No doubt that God's plans are different from ours but with acceptance we will always be left with peace and even joy in most difficult of times. Aunty Jun, you have been truly incredible in the way you have gone through the past few years with such faith, serenity, hope, patience, courage and most of all trust in the Lord. You are such a wonderful example to so many people. Clem, Josh and Raph, we have no doubt that your Dad is even closer to each of you now that he is gazing at the face of Jesus. He must be so happy and filled with so much joy! With our faith, we know it is not a goodbye, and we will all be reunited one day again in paradise! With love and prayers, Jill, James and Family

Rest easy now & God is with you..Amen Read full message here.
Dearest June, Clemente, Josh and Raph, our deepest sympathy to your beautiful family. We were so sad to have missed the funeral mass as we were away in Portarlington. We attended mass just before your funeral mass which father offered for the repose of Henry's soul. We came home just in time to watch the funeral mass online. It was truly solemn and beautiful and there wasn't a dry eye. Even the Cheong children, 7 of them with us were very emotional...we were truly there with all of you in spirit. We all treasure the memory of your love and friendship and beaming smile. We were blessed to have you in our lives. May you enjoy and rest in peace in the loving arms of our heavenly Father and our blessed Mother. Also you get to see St Jacob before us who found your kidney donor for you. All our love and prayers Adrian, Penny, Hayley, Joseph, John Paul, Benedict, Kate, Charlotte and Alexander Read full message here.
My deepest condolences on your loss. We hold firm to the promise of Christ, that just as Lazarus was raised, so too will all who believe in Him rise to new life. May this truth bring you solace. Praying for your loved one, and for you and your family. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May God's grace bring you strength and comfort in this time of sorrow.
Dear Uncle, It is with great sadness that we learned of your passing. Knowing that we will no longer have the chance to share moments together is deeply painful, but there is also comfort in knowing that you are now at peace and no longer suffering. You have always been an inspiration to us — a steady pillar of support, and someone who encouraged us to pursue what we believed in and stand by our choices. We wanted to share a small moment of joy — a photo Karyn found from our wedding day, when you travelled all the way with the family to be there and celebrate with us. It’s a memory we hold very dearly. To Kimkim, Clem, Josh, and Raph — we feel grateful to have shared many wonderful moments with Henry and all of you. During this difficult time, please remember that even though we may be apart, you are never alone, and distance does not diminish how close we feel to you. With love, Wenjie & Karyn Wenjie View full message

Dearest Aunty Jun Your family is very special to us. It was wonderful to see Uncle Henry surrender to God's will from the very beginning. No doubt that God's plans are different from ours but with acceptance we will always be left with peace and even joy in most difficult of times. Aunty Jun, you have been truly incredible in the way you have gone through the past few years with such faith, serenity, hope, patience, courage and most of all trust in the Lord. You are such a wonderful example to so many people. Clem, Josh and Raph, we have no doubt that your Dad is even closer to each of you now that he is gazing at the face of Jesus. He must be so happy and filled with so much joy! With our faith, we know it is not a goodbye, and we will all be reunited one day again in paradise! With love and prayers, Jill, James and Family View full message
