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.

Deepest condolences to Mrs Loris Wong, James Wong & Family!
Loris was an ex-Sabah Collegians with me in Malaysia. Remembering our student days in Wellington, New Zealand being your part-bodyguard!
When Francis had his first triple bypass heart operation in Sydney, you called me. After Francis second heart operation in Singapore, I paid u a visit in Sabah, Malaysia. During June 2023, I am praying to the Sacred Heart of Jesus to give u Peace whose Love & Mercy is not dependent on worldly things but is enduring.

I knew Francis in my earlier days in 1980 as a work associate in Kota Kinabalu where he was a Project Management Consultant to the company I worked for. My company then was involved in a number of large scale property development projects in housing and hotels in the Malaysian state of Sabah. There are very few people in my lifetime that left a lasting impression on me and Francis was irrefutably one of them. He was a very able and intelligent person, a high achiever in life but remained very decent and humble with a very high moral value and fully committed to giving back to society. I enjoyed his daily exchanges on WhatsApp and his world views.. He will be deeply missed.

Thank you for your time, sharing stories of life, endurance, perseverance and kindness. Rest in peace dear friend, I'll miss our lunches, our chats debunking the past, the present and the future. My dream of visiting China together may be fulfilled when we meet again.
May you be remembered for your kind heart, brilliant mind and strong character.
