my dearest Dr Lau,
I know deep down you treated me like your son, and I never forgot your endless love and kindness. More than a decade has gone by — i now reckon the eternal grace and highest yet timeless mercy of god — these are all expressed through your selfless teaching and nurturing to us back in the days.
I know you are now in a better place. You will always be in my prayers and I will live and love on your behalf.
Always yours,
Jacob
When I first visit this site, I was speechless. I never thought Dr. Lau’s site would be so marvellous. I love the design very much. A million thanks to whoever designed this website, for your contribution is, unlike myself, very great indeed.
A year has passed, and I no longer feel pain when I think about Dr. Lau. Yes, time has wiped away my sorrow, but the happy memories with Dr. Lau will always be in my heart. For four years he had been my music teacher. Not only did he taught me lessons on musical performances, but he taught me a life’s lesson, the lesson of “labour omnia vincit”. He taught me never to give up, he taught me to strike for my goals no matter what lies in front of me. He shed light on my path. I am quite sure that if it had not been him, I would have wasted four precious years in Queen’s College.
Dr. Lau is not only a musician, he actually appreciates music. He loves music, even now, when he is with his Lord at the moment. If Muse takes a human form on earth, it would be of Dr. Lau’s. I have never met a person (and probably will not) who loves music so much that he would literally die without it. The passion of Dr. Lau is what inspired me not to see music as a hobby but a quest, a life-long quest to find your own self.
A year ago, I was standing in the hall, listening to the principal breaking the news to us, sobbing quietly. It was horrible, to see one leaving the mortal world slowly and painfully. Now, I feel no regret or guilt, but rather I admire his passion, and I see him as my role model, the man who loves music, the man who continuously stuffs himself with knowledge, the man who taught everyone by heart without reservation, the man whom we loved dearly. Thank you, Dr. Lau.
Dear Dr Lau,
Time flies quickly. It is so quick that one year has passed already. I miss you forever!
Rest in peace and enjoy your afterlife in Heaven!

My dear cousin,
Time flies and today is already one whole year you left us. I miss u a lot. You know you have certainly strengthen my faith and trust in God by the way you show all of us your faith. I firmly believes that you are now singing happily in heaven and conducting the angels to sing glory to God. Let’s join in prayers and do come to visit me and Cicely when you have time.

Lau Sir,
I guess I’m late to say goodbye to you. I discovered you passed away few weeks ago when a group of St. Louis School old boys here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada were talking about the death of Apple Man.
You may still remember, I ran into you at outside of Sai Wan Ho MTR station in March 2008. I called you “lau sir”, you didn’t response. I further spoke your full name and told you I was from St. Louis school, then we started to chat.
I’m still pretty proud of myself recognizing you in a busy street at night, and be able to call out your full name after 15 years of last seeing you.
We spoke about several interesting memories at St. Louis. The famous wrong completion class you sign up for us. For those who don’t know, Lau sir trained like 30 of us for a completion. We arrived at the place and figured we signed up for a completion for a 7 person class. Lau sir told us we have two choices 1) all 30 of us get on the stage and play the music we trained for so long 2) bring 7 of us up the stage and compete. We chose 2 and we stood in a horseshoe shape on the stage and played without rehearsal.
I was one of the 7, standing at far right. We lost at last but hey, that’s what we always did. We lost and we played again. You were still pretty proud telling lo Lam, the principal, that we did well and looked cool.
We spoke more about other memories and teachers. You encouraged me to go visit the school if I have more time left from my vacation travel. We exchanged business cards and you left. You were wearing a greenish jacket at that time
Since I spoke with you, I often thought about how much I involved in music in high school time and other topics that I didn’t have chance to talk with you last time. Like this one; there was one time I sat in the choir lot in Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto, listening to classical music conducted by Peter Oundijian. I was sitting very low and close to the violins that I can read the notes. Peter sometimes looked at my direction and give signals to the violins. From my view, it reminded me so much as if I was on stage and you were conducting. I would play my recorder, and tried to follow you exactly. I was all laughing and smiling when the performance finished.
I told you I haven’t played music for so many years. I felt wasting your effort in teaching me as well as my dad’s. I want to tell you I’ve decided to buy a piano. Although my skills are all rusted as well as “have no time” as everyone else, I will try to play. Thanks for all the insights you’ve given me.

p.s. I think I recognize myself in one of the SLS pictures you posted here.
My dearest brother,
How are you? I believe you must be enjoying yourself with our Father in Heaven and singing with the lovely angels. Do you still remember me? Do you still recognise me? Do you still miss me? Do you still love me? I miss you and love you so much. Please come and visit me and your beloved godson, Nicholas and nephew, Ringo when you have time.
With love,
Sum
Dear Anthony
Whenever I see my students playing recorder, I remember you, whenever I look up to the blue sky, I remember you, your sunshine smile, your ringing laughter…I can still remember the day I played the piano and you played your flute, together we made beautiful music…and you sang beautifully and majestically…all these lovely memory will be here forever until the day we meet in heaven…and I am sure you are now singing gloriously with our Heavenly Father…
Miss you a lot…

Requiescat in Pace!
Last time when you and your dad visited Alex in San Jose, we had fun time on a fishing trip. Even though you did not catch any fish on that trip, you captured many more hearts of people around you.
When I heard the news of your peaceful departure in the middle of a priest’s 20th anniversary of priesthood, sadness cannot but give way to the thanksgiving of your ministry and friendship.
Pls pray for us as departure also begins the journey of hope for our reunion.
In Christ,
Andrew from San Jose
Anthony,
I remember that I met you and your father in Holy Cross Church on Good Friday — It’s the last time to meet you on earth but we would meet each other again in a new place >> God’s kingdom. Your life will have no end. You are raised from the dead and now you are enjoying a new life in God’s kingdom.
SIT DOMINUM TECUM, ET SEMPER.
Marisa.
Dear Anthony,
May God Bless you in the Heaven, we will always pray for you…
We will ask Our Lady St. Mary to take care of you!!
God Bless

It is so sad to hear this piece of sad news. As a classmate of you in MA course, I really think you are very very nice and friendly! I will always remember your smiles that are always on your face!
Anthony,
While saddened by the news, we accept that you have but only moved to your rightful place to be with our Lord and will continue to live in our memories. Thanks for your selfless contributions that enriched the religious and school lives of so many, as evident in your biography which spans across time and space.
In Christ,
Alexander
Dear Anthony,
It’s really a shock to hear your news, after so many years we met each others in St Louis and Don Bosco Club since the 80’s. All I remember is your lauch and music. What you have delicated to Music is no doubt and especially evertythings to God. I know you are starting a new life in Heaven. May all the peaces and happiness go on with you.
God Bless you
Love
Lawrence
