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
