To know Fui was to love him. We became part of his family a few years ago when our daughter Tammy married their son John. We were welcomed into the family by Fui and there was not a dry eye in the place when he was giving his speech. We did not understand the words but the love coming from this special man was self evident. I could go on and on on the kindness this man showed to everyone he met. He will be missed and we count ourselves very fortunate to have known Fui. RIP, and we will see you again someday! Prayers for the family.
