Dear Nancy and family,

Deeply sorry for the passing of such a warm and loving man. His big smile was always infectious and his cheekiness was always entertaining. Much love to your family as you bond together to remember the many treasured memories. Rest in peace uncle Tom.

Love Uyen and family

I remember Uncle Tom as the most gentle, kind and generous human. We shared many childhood memories. Our families would often do road trips and small adventures together.

Uncle Tom was funny and always had an infectious smile. He loved his family and was a loving and caring husband/father.

Rest in peace Uncle Tom, thank you for being a part of my life.

Tom Chau was a man that I referred to as ‘Uncle’. I remembered Uncle Chau was a very gentle, loving, generous and humble man. One of the fondest memories was that - I couldn’t believe that Uncle Chau remembered I loved making sushi and gifted me a sushi maker. He told me that it will help me roll out perfect sushi and I remembered him being so excited knowing that he solved my first work problem 😊. I also remembered Uncle Chau loved sharing what he loves with other people; one of the things was the Korr soy sauce, he told me it was the best soy sauce in the market. Til this day, every time I use or cook with the Korr soy sauce I always remember it was from Uncle Chau. May you rest in peace uncle.

Mr Chau was a warm, welcoming and inclusive man and everyone was his friend whether they knew it or not. He was known for being funny and his sense of humor, and it sticks with me till this day when I think "chi sin" as he would say it in situations that deserved it.
Rest in peace and my condolences to your family.

Dearest Uncle Tom,
I have such fond memories of you for your kindness and generosity.

You were always encouraging my parents to be in the moment and live our best lives. You took our family to our first Yum Cha. I remember alway looking up to you as a successful businessman who adored his family. You were so comfortable with a house full of women and always had a smile on your face.

I remember doing to promotional work with you in Footscray and I was so shy. You gave me the confidence that I could do it and your legacy will live on forever.

Thanks you Uncle Tom for many beautiful memories, may you finally rest in peace. Your presence will never be forgotten.

Dad. Sundays will never be the same again. You kept the family spirit alive and gave us all purpose each week. You were the glue that held us together.
I really wished I had met you in your prime – The kind and gentle person that your girls always speak so highly of. The charismatic and clearly the socialite that reunited all his friends year on year and The guy at the centre of all of the photos I see with that contagious smile.
Thank you, dad, for accepting me into your family and household. I can only imagine what you would have thought when this strange guy from UK migrates over from UK and moves straight into your house. Thank you for never questioning my motives and believing in my love for your little girl.
Thank you for getting me my first job in Australia and also being so proud in telling everybody at work that your daughter BF (at the time) was a doctor. Embarrassing as it was, you looked so proud so I just went along with it.
Thank you for giving me your daughter’s hand in marriage and raising her up to be just like you. Kind, caring, hardworking and always needing the latest, and most expensive gadgets.
Lastly, id like to thank you for teaching us all to be strong, resilient and to just get on with it.
May you watch TVB in peace now dad.

Dear Nancy and family.
So sad to hear your Dad passed away. He was such sweet soul. Always happy to everyone .We wish Tom rest in peace and may time will heal your loss. Deepest condolences and prayers for Tom Chau. From The Moloney

周兄，我和你雖然未曾見面，但說不定在校裡曾經擦肩而過，也算是一個緣份。畢竟我們也算是同學，同窗。願吾兄一路好走安息天堂！

When I think of our Dad (Tom), I think of a man who can only be described as kind, selfless, witty, strong and eternally positive. He loved to be around people, he loved having a good time and boy did he make us laugh.
That he could maintain all of that despite his own health challenges is a true mark of the man he was.

Thank you for saying yes when I asked to marry your daughter. Thank you for passing those same positive traits to her, and thank you for being a type of man your grandkids can look up to.

We’ll miss the cheeky laughs and our Sunday night dinners. You’ll always have that spot at the head of the table.

May you rest in peace.

Tom 的辞世令人痛惜。他那种坚韧的精神值得我们永远的怀念。愿他一路好走，早登极乐。

願 周偉棠同學，一路好走，早登極樂。家人節哀順變！
