Tommy Chan - 网上纪念网站

Jeffery, if you see this, please reach out to me. I'm in Texas. Close to Texas A&M Commerce where your dad went to college. I'm pretty sure we're brothers. 

Uncle, thank you for all the dinners spent chatting about stuff from university to fishing to Auntie Peggy's recipes. Everything you do and say makes me feel like Jeff is beside me even though he'll be away in Hong Kong. Although you can't be around to make me feel that way anymore, your presence will always be there at home whenever i step in. The many pictures that you have will provide enough memories for us to live on and to remember you. Be rest assured that Jeff and mama will be well taken care of. God bless you and we'll miss you very dearly.

I always like to tell people that the HP account was the best account I ever worked on, cos I had 2 fantastic favourite clients. And one of them was Tommy. He was the kindest client, and most patient. Offering feedback nicely and listening to suggestions. Tommy always treated the agency like a partner, and not a vendor.

 

Tommy, you will be missed and I pray that God reunites you with your loved one. You

Tommy and I became friends shortly after I joined Compaq 11 years ago. Our friendship blossomed over the years as we discovered a lot of common interests in music, photography, tech stuff, and our shared passion in marketing. But most of all, we got on so well because Tommy was such an optimistic, kind and caring person. He was also full of creative and crazy ideas, always willing to brainstorm some outrageous money making ventures or lavish sales incentive events. And he was fun to be with as he had a wicked sense of humor which may not be obvious to a lot of people.
I will always treasure the times we spent together over lunch in Suntec City, eating Hong Kong beef hor fun. And the times we spent working together in various sales and marketing events around Asia. And of course the times when we spent playing online FPS games with Peter late into the night like little school boys.

Tommy was a gentleman, a caring father, a valuable colleague, and most of all, a dear friend. I will miss him very much.
 

I remembered once I had lunch with Tommy and I was sharing my thoughts with him.  His advice left me dumb-founded when he said, "If I ever live, I live for Jeffrey and if I ever die, I die for Peggy, either way I have nothing to loose".  Tommy has shown me his art of positive-thinking despite any odds.  There is so much to learn from this remarkable gentleman, indeed a man of few words, but should there be any, they are words of kindness and he is never judgemental of others.  Truly an extra-ordinary man with a very awe-inspiring way.

 

Tommy, we will all miss you during our lunch time.

Tommy and I were colleagues when I was in EMEA and he was my counterpart in Asia Pacific. I learned from his example how to be patient, give "feedback" in a positive and productive way, and champion my region without being obnoxious. I'll always be grateful for the lessons he taught me, whether he intended to be a teacher or not. He was a true gentleman in every way, and he'll be missed by so many people. Thank you for everything you gave us, Tommy.

 

Tommy is a legacy with simple thoughts, few words . He has left in peace and we will miss him but he has offered us lessons of generosity and sincerity, friendship and warmth ,and thoughtfulness and care for all around him that we can never forget.

Tommy used to be my counter part when I was in Compaq, and I was very glad he was my boss when we moved to HP. He was so nice to slow donw his speaking to let me understood during our conversstion , he always give us kindness advice and helpful support, kept us as friends.

Remembering the unassuming nature of Tommy - team building events with Tommy was always fun.  He'll be the guy who'll run around with pails of water when we all only have super-soaker guns during the "water wars" or he would buy extra ammunition during paint-ball war games without anybody's knowledge.  Will miss being able to say hello when I go pass your office..

Tommy always looks the same in the last two decades. I remember when I first joined HP HK, he was already a well-respected Marcom professional. He was always kind to everyone around him. We joined Compaq at different times but then he has moved to Singapore. I had always hoped to have the opportunity to work for him, as I would have learned a lot from him.

 

Tommy, you'll surely be missed!

Tommy was always early to the office, and I would look for him as I came in during my stay in Singapore.  He was a steadfast guide to me as I worked with the Marcom Managers in the countries, and we laughed about many things.  He was a true-blue good guy, and made my time in APJ really fantastic.  You are on to greener fields Tommy, I will always remember you, and I thank you for bringing me into your world in 2007.

I will remember Tommy for his simplicity, gentle spirit, unfailing love for coke, all things chocolates, ice-cream, how he recently learnt to say "Teh-ci kosong kau"; and how he taught us to say kopi-o in cantonese, HK style, "kar fei fei sa zao nei"...Tommy, we'll miss you dearly... 

Tommy and I would always be the first ones in the office in Suntec, and we'd be "chatting" across the cubicle dividers before he'd wander off  for his early morning "oxygen" :)
