I send my deepest condolences. I have known you just for two years,however we talked a lot and you taught me many things. When we first met, I just came to Australia and my English was not good, but you always listened to me patiently and gave me great advices.I wish I had met you earlier in my life. I wanted to ask you more things. I really miss you.

To Francis’s family, I send my deepest condolences. I have known Francis for about 20 years. We met in Malaysia when as head of the School of Architecture & Design at the University of Tasmania, Francis and I made it possible for some of his students to study in Tasmania. His commitment to his students was inspiring and very quickly I came to have a very high level of respect and admiration for him. Over the years, and over many lunches, we became good friends, and we communicated recently through social media. It came as a shock to hear that he had passed away but I know his faith has sustained him throughout his incredibly creative and productive life - one that was energised by his deep humanity. With love to his family and friends, Roger

Farewell Mr Wong. Finally you return to our Good Lord you so loved. I am glad that I had the chance to catch up over lunch at Tommy Ruff not knowing it will be our last meet up. My dad, Peter would have wanted to meet you too. Thank you for sharing your life stories with me. Till we meet again, rest well and may perpetual light shine on you.
