When I see any future messages I shall transfer them over to this “Alick Siu 蕭振華 Guestbook”

Thank You

Alick Siu has passed away and it brings me great sadness knowing his family and friends shall also miss him greatly.

One time during dinner we shared the choices we made in our personal lives, and he told me how he and his wife Winnie got married; and from that I caught a glimpse of why Alick can be so lovingly stubborn the way he is on some issues, while on other issues he appears so flexible and accommodating to other’s wishes.

I pray that Alick is with Jesus now, and I pray his family shall also find peace and comfort in the Lord.

In Jesus’ name I pray

Amen

Sorry to know tonight you left us so sudden !
Thanks for all your energy you had done to the community.
I regret that I didn’t continue to listen your zoom broadcast regarding current social issue.
You are deeply missed !

RIP dear Alick.
You will forever be remembered as a leader dedicated to make our community a better place for all.
I will always miss working with you at Civic Engagement Canada to inspire Chinese Canadians to participate fully in all aspects of society and to get our voices heard at all levels of government.
My deepest condolences to Siu’s family for this great loss.

Our deepest condolences to the Siu family for your loss! Alick’s dedication and contribution to the community will always be remembered.
May he rest in peace!

You were a great mentor to me.
And I do what I do now with such confidence because of you.
You and I share the same principles and morals, and you have so much passion and energy to keep plowing on to inspire us.
May God’s will be done for you and all of us here to witness, and grant peace to your loved ones.

40 years of friendship all the back CIPRO . DXC …CIBC

I’m blessed that you were there all the time when i such a little boy.
I hope your happy for me because you taught me well.
You brighten up my life, filling it with love and joy.
Rest in peace 細舅父 we all love you and miss you much.

Noticed that Johnson Tse, another good friend and fellow Board member of CIPRO, had also rested at Elgin Mills in 2005. They are meeting again on earth & heaven. Friendship has no border!
Alick has always been working hard for the wellness of us. Rest? I think one of Alick’s first tasks in Heaven has been to ask our Lord for a 15°C warm weather for us on his funernal day!
Alick: Bountless in Heaven! Peace and Warmth to Your Family on Earth!

RIP my good friend and condolences to the family.

Uncle Alick was the most hardworking and intelligent individual I knew.
He had so many different interests and would always enthusiastically share his knowledge about all his passions with whoever would listen.
I loved visiting and having meals together and he will be greatly missed.
Love, Charlotte

RIP Alick.
I will miss our politic discussions.

I miss my brother Alick and wishing him a nice trip to a better place.

Rest in peace.

I am absolutely shocked to hear of the passing of Alick Siu. Alick was deeply committed to the engagement of the Asian community in all aspects of community life, and he dedicated a good portion of his life to this fantastic idea.
I came to know Alick during his 6 years as a community member on York Region District School Board’s Equity and Inclusivity Advisory Committee (EIAC) where I have the honour of serving as board lead. Alick made invaluable contributions to the advice that EIAC provided to the Board of Trustees through the Director of Education. This advice centred on helping YRDSB continue to be a school board where ALL students feel safe, welcomed, and included regardless of their social identity.
I also attended several community engagement sessions organized by Alick at the Markham Civic Centre. These sessions always had the goal trumpeting the value of being engaged the community.
I know that this is a very difficult time for Alick’s family, and I ask them to take some comfort in knowing that Alick lived a life in service of others and of the community.
I offer my deepest condolences to Alick’s family and his many friends

A very moving tribute.
May Alick’s legacy be etched in the hearts & minds of everyone who had the privilege to have known him

Alick was instrumental and supportive in working with SUCA- South Unionville Community Association.
We collaborated together to address community issues making our voices stronger together.

You will be missed but your legacy is here forever.

Sincere condolences Winnie and Family .
May Aluck Rest In Peace and May all the beautiful memories you made with him be of some comfort during this very difficult time.

He is a cheerful, nice and kind hearted person.
Wish him Rest In Peace.

My sincerest condolences to Alick’s family on the news of his passing, he was taken from this world far too soon.

I first met Alick as a new member of the Markham Public Library Board and immediately impressed by his passion and dedication for literacy and the arts. As Chair of our Board, Alick lead a number of key initiatives and supported younger board members by encouraged them to be more actively involved at the board level and within the local community.

I will forever remember our conversations around public policy, the status of local politics and his overall zest for life. His quest to make our community an ever better place to live, work and play will not be forgotten.

Alick was a true community champion and he will be sorely missed by many. Thank you for helping to blaze a trail for many younger Chinese Canadians, including myself.

May you rest in peace, my friend. Until we meet again.

RIP

RIP Alick!

You will be remembered and will keep you in my prayer.
Deepest condolence to Alick’s family.

Winnie and family:

Hi Alick:
I was so shocked and sad to learn about your departure. I did not have a chance to say goodbye. But sure we’ll meet someday up there. It’s a big loss to your family and our community. I enjoyed very much working with you since my early days in high tech PR when you were president of a computer association. I appreciate the opportunities you brought me helping the community, rallying and coaching candidates to share the minority voice in politics and making our society a better place. Your selflessness and positive energy are highly admired and will be remembered.
Joining the team of FM105.9, we’ll sure continue your wish in making a positive influence on our society and building a culture that embraces diversity, inclusion and equity.
Rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Loretta

Rest in peace!

God with you and your family!

RIP Alick.

I know Alick for 35 years, he was our good colleague and good friend.
I was shocked and so sorry to learn that he passed away.
I was wishing to spend good time with him to chat whatever topics after we retire.
His positive attitude often encouraged me in Tandem days.
I admire he was so enthusiastic to contribute in the local community.
He is a good role model for us.
My deepest condolence to Winnie.
May Alick RIP.

My deepest condolences to Alick’s family. Alick will be greatly missed by his many friends in Markham and beyond. Me included. He was a really fine & kind man and I am happy our paths crossed.
“ May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.” Gallic Blessing

My understanding of the system we were working with was limited when I first started and Alick always volunteered to be my backup and help me should there ever be any problems.
Outside of work, he was always courteous, funny, and insightful. After I switched teams, he still continues to look out for me, and offer advice.
I lost more than a teammate,
I lost a very dear friend.

My condolence to Alick’s family.
Very sad to lose a great friend.
RIP Alick.

Angel be with you and your family

So sad to hear of Alick’s passing.
Someone who gave generously of his time and talents to our City.
My sincere condolences to all his family and a hope that a cure for. this terrible illness comes very soon.

It was an honor to work with Alick at CIBC.

Rest in peace Alick

My deepest condolences to the Siu Family.

Rest In Peace, my good friend!

Alick, we are thankful to have a great friend like you, we are proud of you.
Take care my friend, your dream will be a continuation, with love from the KAN family.

I am very sad to have lost a good friend Alick.
My deepest condolence to his family.
May Alick rest in peace.

Alick Siu, a good friend whom I called “brother”. Alick has always been very engaged in the community and promoting civic engagement. I still remember when I first ran for office, he invited me to his Civic Engagement forum where we discussed a wide range of community issues. Alick impressed me as someone with deep knowledge on different issues and his passion for civic engagement. We also led and addressed issues which matter to City of Markham, such as No Casino Markham, Say YES to York, and most recently Canadians Against Racism. When we work together, we may agree or disagree on different things but what’s really cool about Alick is that he is very open minded and allowed open discussions. He is also a man of his word. When he committed to a task, he would make sure to get it done no matter how busy he is.
But Alick’s community involvement was not limited to these. He was on the City of Markham Library Board, Markham Arts Council as Vice Chair and served for the maximum of 6 years, York Region District School Board, Unionville Rate Payers Association, Markham PLA and everything else. The number of boards he sat on is too long to list them all here. His extensive community engagement made him an iconic figure in the Chinese Community and set a great example to many Chinese who want to get involved in the community.
For years, Alick has provided valuable insights and advice to many who want to be involved in politics. His influence and dedication to community work has become a great role model for many to follow. He never look for any recognition, nor fame nor any superficial values. Over the years, I have witnessed Alick’s selfless work for the community and I am proud to call him my good friend, he is like a brother to me.
Alick will be missed greatly. May your soul rest in peace. My sincere condolences to the Siu’s family – Winnie, Michelle & Melvin. Alick has left a remarkable legacy and I know you will be proud of him too.

Alick had been a strong advocate of Chinese involvement in politics, in addition to his many community involvements.
His friendship is dearly missed.
Our deep condolences to Alick’s family.

Tony and Julie Chan

I met Alick through the CiPro association. Alick was a man of services even then.
He loved his family. He cared about his friends.
And he cared about the community.
He put his passion to work.
Alick, it is my honour to have met you.
May you rest in peace.

I was very saddened to hear the passing of Alick Siu from last week.
I haven’t known Alick for very long time, but through a few connections with him, I got to know Alick’s great passion to serve our community and the changes he has ever made.
My deepest condolence to Alick’s family, and may he rest in peace.

.

Alick was a generous spirit who loved our community.
He was able to bring people of all backgrounds together in a kind and compassionate way.
Alick introduced me to community radio and allowed me to grow and share, I will be forever grateful.
Missing you tons Alick and my thoughts are with your loved ones,

Sorry to hear about ALEC, On behalf of Saad & Shama Ahmed please accept our condolences

Alick was a great friend and neighbour.
I used to watch as Alick would go around the neighbourhood taking pictures of flowers and trying to get the best angle for the picture.
He always did his best.
He will be missed by all of us.
May he rest in peace.

I’m so sorry to hear of Alick’s passing. My thoughts are with you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.

Alick was always so friendly every time I ran into him on the Go train and even offered to drive me home a couple times he saw me waiting for a ride in the rain. He often spoke of his volunteering within the community and I know his efforts made Markham a better place for its residents. He will be missed.

I’m deeply saddened by the loss of our Director of Markham-Unionville Federal Liberal Association (M-UFLA) and our Markham-Unionville Community Leader, Mr. Alick Siu.

I met Alick at the Chinese Canadian Information Processing Society in the 90’s. We were both newly immigrated young IT professionals with passion for community services. We worked actively in organizing various IT Conferences, Toastmaster Meetings, community events and recently, on the Team Paul Chiang Campaign.

Alick lived a full life as a loving husband, a caring father, a seasoned IT professional, a community leader, a model resident of Markham-Unionville. He inspires me to pay it forward to make our society a better place.

Alick was a kind soul who was always very giving of himself to his community and culture.
The world has lost a great man.

I was so saddened to hear of Alick’s illness and subsequent passing last month. We’ve been friends since my 1st year at the University of Sakatchewan in 1977.
Our small group of friends still have remained in contact over the last 45 years. We all have many wonderful memories of Alick — too many to mention. We are fortunate to have known Alick from his college days til now.
Our sincere condolences to Winnie, Michelle, Melvin, Albert and extended family members & friends.

Alick you’ll always be remembeted and forever in our hearts.💚💛

Until we meet again.

Marilyn, Tommy, Thomas, Lita, Christine, Daisy, Richard, Rose, Allan — friends from U of S days.😪

I sadly convey my sincerest condolences to Alick’s family.
We lost such a dedicated community leader and true friend, he will be greatly missed by all of us!
RIP Alick!

I know Alick more than 20 years.
He was the one get me involved in CIPRO (Chinese Information Processing Professional) back at that time he was the president.
He was also a life-time mentor inspiring me in many different aspects.
I was always amazed for his endless energy, dedication on community work and his effect on binding people together.
Our community without him is a loss, our friends circle without him is a much bigger loss.
Alick, RIP, not one can replace you, and you will be missed

RIP Alick.
You were alway energetic and pleasant.
I will always remember you being a community advocate.
My deep condolences to Alick’s family.

Dear Winnie, I am sorry for your loss.
My sincere condolences to you and your family.
May you find peace and comfort.
Tommy Chang

Sincere condolences to the family.
Alick was an active member of the community.
He will be missed!
RIP, Alick.

Condolences to the entire family of Alick Siu.
We met Alick back in 2020 about a community issue.
Besides passionate and knowledgeable, Alick was also extremely helpful during all discussions.
It is a great loss to the community.
RIP Alick.

I have worked with Michelle, Mr. Siu’s daughter, for the past 2 years.
I recall her random stories about her Dad’s sense of humor and she would have a big smile when telling us about him.
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, Michelle, and I send my sympathy to you and your family during this very difficult time.

On behalf of the URA, an organisation that Alick gave so many years of great service to for well over ten years, including as President, our sincere condolences to the whole family and his many friends. Markham, and the many organisations that Alick contributed to, has lost an outstanding citizen.

I worked with Alick for a year in 2018 during my tenure as Program Manager at the Markham Arts Council.
Alick was always helpful and fun-loving.
His passion for photography is something I believe connected him to the arts in an intrinsic way.
He was always supportive and ready to help whenever required.
His presence will be missed.
May you rest in peace!

I worked with Alick for almost 7 years while he served on the Markham Public Library Board.
He was a man of great integrity and had a very strong sense of community which he demonstrated in so many ways.
Above all was his love and pride in his family, may your memories offer some comfort at this very sad time.
Susan Price

I know Alick since university time.

Slick, you are deeply missed especially our gathering in 2019 during my visit to Toronto together with Song n Francis!!
See you in heaven

I am very sorry to lose Alick Siu who is always warm hearted and serve the community!
May he rest in peace!

May God bring Alick peace.
May God heal the sorrow of his family.

RIP🥺

I loved it when Alick would call our house. When I answered the phone, he would always ask “if the boy friend was at home”. It would always give me a chuckle. The boyfriend and I have been married for almost 50 years!

Alick gave his time and energy, freely, to serve the Unionville Ratepayers Association, as well other groups, too many to name. He could bridge many cultures without blinking an eye. He will be sorely missed by the community that he served so well.

I extend my prayers and sincere condolences 💐 to Alick’s family.

Donna Miasek, wife of Peter Miasek

Condolences to the entire family of Alick Siu… Saddened to hear of his sudden passing. Alick and I were both employed by Scotiabank in years past and both worked on Tandem systems at the Bank at one time…… I also got to know Alick through our mutual interests in development projects in Markham and Unionville…..I won’t deny it – but he and I did not see eye to eye on some development issues however even through it all – friendships remained………Blessings on all friends and family….

RIP Alick

RIP Alick

Alick, understood what it meant to be a good citizen and volunteer.
He knew that the only purpose in life is to contribute to building good communities, and being inclusive and kind.
He came and did it well

We came to know Alick about a year ago when we joined URA.

Our heartfelt condolences and prayers.
Alick Siu will be dearly missed.

R I P 🙏🏽🌺🙏🏽

As a health professional I will be part of the village support for your family and friends needs!
Your legacy is a shinning example of caring and truth defender！
英魂永在我的心中

Alick,
Very few people can fit into your shoes.
You were a blessing to many people.
Rest in peace!

We all will miss an ever smiling face.
I still recall my early days in the team and how you made me and everyone else feel at home.
Our casual conversations on politics, current affairs, soccer, etc etc ..
you will always live in our thoughts
Rest in Peace Alick !!!

Dearest Winnie and Family,
My deepest and heartfelt condolences on the loss of Alick to this terrible disease that takes so many too soon.
You and your family are in my thoughts during this difficult time.
May his memory be forever a blessing to you and your children.

I’m honored to have Alick as my long-time friend.
Alick impresses me as intelligent, very capable, approachable, willing to share and with excellent organizing abilities.
We shared lots of memorable moments in university, both as friends and coworkers for the CSA.
Last year, he posted a university photo on my Facebook, reminded me of the tremendous fun we shared together.
I’ll treasure it for the rest of my life.
Thank you Alick for the friendship, experience and memory!
And hope the survivors of his family health and happiness in the future.

Thank you, Alick Siu, for all the work that you have done for your community. I am grateful to have met you and the opportunities you have given me and others to share with the community. I am thankful to have you as a friend.

You have touched many lives through your media and advocacy work, your work with the library, the school board, the bank you work for, the IT services you provide, your beautiful photography, your lovely gardening, your friends and family. You are a true hero to your community, and I and I trust we all will miss you. You are truly a great leader in many respects, and you seem to know just about, if not, everything: be it IT, technology, gardening, indigenous peoples and the law, diversity, the Chinese/Asian community, family law, community events, elections, local, national and international affairs, you name it, you know more than something about it!

Markham will not be the same without you, but you have been an inspiration to all of us. I trust that Markham is and its future will be better because of you!

Your work will live on through the residents of Markham and likely well beyond.

God Bless and Rest in Peace. ❤🙏

Until we meet again,
Edward
