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.

Gary
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight in ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds circled in flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry:
I am not there, I did not die.
I don’t know who this is from, but I wanted to share this.
