It was with great sadness that I post this sad news that the former Secretary General of CTWLSA. late Mr. Fang Yih-Fu (方儀甫) passed away at the age of 93 on 24 July 2011.
A memorial service was held on 4 Aug which I missed out......
I only came to know when I visited their website today and was shocked to know the demise of the late Mr. Fang.
For those who have been with me for the 2 Lifesaving exchange programs in 2008 and 2010 will know Mr. Fang in person.
Mr. Fang spend his whole life dedicated to Lifesaving in Taiwan especially after retirement, he was with CTWLSA for full time in guiding, teaching and mentoring lifesaving in Taiwan until 2008 when he step down due to illness.
We can recall the good times that we have with the late Mr. Fang when he hosted us during our exchange Lifesaving program in year 2008.
Mr. Fang was a very cheerful, helpful and hardworking leader and together with all his committee members, they rendered their utmost assistance to us when we were there for the exchange program, sharing with us the situation of Lifesaving in Taiwan which we have truly benefited and learned a lot from him and his fellow committee members.
We do remember that we last met him at a dinner last year (2010), at the age of 92, he was still healthy and cheerful and we have a wonderful times discussing about Lifesaving.
May he rest in peace and we will always remember him as a big kind hearted man with grace and pride in Lifesaving.
