DBS Classy 83

Passing Away of PK Tao - DBS teacher during 70's

PK was our physics teacher I think just before 1970. He stayed in DBS for quite a number of years before joining HKU where he had a very distinguished career in the Faculty of Education, working alongside Dr. P Morris. He is also the author of 'Physics at Work', the most popular secondary school textbook in HK.

PK contracted colon cancer about 4 years back. He had a good operation then but unfortunately the thing keep coming back. He retired from HKU, I think last year. His condition turned ugly by the end of last year and I was informed by his family this morning that he passed away 2 days ago.

PK is survived by his wife, Elizabeth and 2 children, both of them have done extremely well academically and are now working in top companies of legal and consultancy respectively. Funeral service will be held on 7/April evening and 8/April at the Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point.
