羅志強

羅志強同學不幸於 2021 年 4 月 29 日於香港病逝,安息主懷。痛失良友,至感哀傷。以下為校方訃告:   


羅志強校董(1974 基社)痛于今早息勞歸主。

入住醫院多時,昨晚他病況急轉直下,惟神志仍清醒,在家人陪同之下,平安地完成了人生的路程和使命!

羅校董家人表示:這段日子有大家的禱告,讓他可以與家人及弟兄姊妹有更多溝通的時間。大家心情難免會悲傷,但從另角度看,他釋去了病患的勞苦,他作工的果效會一生伴隨他!


Johnny 當部員/校董近三十年了,中途雖曾稍停休息,但依舊對部務和各校工作殷殷垂顧,積極關心,可謂「又良善又忠心的僕人亅!他對培正中小學的財務管理工作貢獻尤大,歷任司庫之職;又參與了培正校徽官司事件的委員會,近年還主力監督天虹小學的學務發展和未來遷建工作,其聰明才智,為主使用,榮神益人!造福教會和社群,永遠令人懷敬!今日息勞主懷,信必有冠冕為他留存!求主安慰他家人,我們亦因他一生的事奉果效,得學階模。深信和深盼我們在天家重會,共讚上帝厚恩!


謹此向志強家人致以深切慰問,願志強安息。

1974 年級基社同學  至深致意

記得中學時,讀過王安石一篇「祭王回深甫文」,開首幾句,感人至深:「嗟嗟深甫,真棄我而先乎?孰謂深甫之壯已死,而吾可以長年乎?」其後思念之情感不斷推進,故寫下「雖不即死,吾何能久。搏胸一慟,心摧志朽」深情之句,可見王安石與王深甫友情之深切。而他們之所以成為好友,實為王安石母親之推動: 「如此人,乃可與友。」因王母看到深甫為人正直,實值得兒子學習深交。

我也有一位摯友羅志强先生,近日突然離世,由於來得太沒有心理準備,故悲傷之情久久不能揮去。我和羅志強兩人同讀培正小學、中學。小學時雖然認識,但因不是同班,所以還不是「死黨」。直至升上中學,基本上是年年同班,有時還坐在左右隔籬,可說是最好的一位同學;我還與他全家,包括父母、婆婆、嫲嫲、姨媽及弟妹全都熟落。因他住在培正中學對面,而培正是全日制,所以有幾年的中午,我都到他家吃午飯再上學。,我們天南地北,無所不談,而我們也喜歡打橋牌,看文學作品,唸詩詞歌賦,因與他有太多共同的興趣,所以我們不論上課下課,在校園不同角落,總見到我們的足跡。人們稱我為「沙煲」,叫他「大羅」,一直到如今。

那時期,我住在美孚新邨,茘園剛開了真雪溜冰,我們與一班同學常溜到流連忘返。也喜歡去茘灣划艇,記得有一次,我們划到美孚橋外,突然風雲變色,大雨傾盆,還翻起大風,我們努力往返程方向划回去,但費盡九牛二虎之力,小艇仍是在水中央迴旋,後來索性在橋躉泊好小艇,在那裡休息片刻。幸好這是一場短暫的強風驟雨,風雨過後,又是天空放晴,還有著彩虹的印記。

中學畢業後,我留在香港讀書,他則去了加拿大東岸升學。記得臨離開香港前幾天,我們常促膝夜談,細說前程往事,總覺得加拿大東岸非常遙遠,更不知何日再相見?那時打長途電話非常昂貴,唯有靠寫信互報近況,有次他還給我寄來幾片加拿大紅楓葉,迄今我依然保存著;而我則常寄給他書簽,在背後題字,送上祝福和鼓勵,如今我還留有他給我的信及賀咭。猶記我在大一那年決志信主,我馬上將這喜訉告知他,亦向他傳福音。不久後,他也在彼邦信主,而且返港後更熱心事奉,成為教會執事,幾所基督教學校的校董。料不到竟在他工作退休之時,得了重病,又如此快速被上帝接回天家,免卻再受身體苦楚的煎熬。

最遺憾的是我因事沒法參加他的婚禮,我知他一直耿耿於懷;而知道他施手術出院後,他給我電話報平安,語調還是充滿喜樂及信心,我還說要到他家探望他,可惜我卻沒有趕快行動。現在回想起來,每一件事上帝必有祂的旨意及時間,我們必須趕緊作工,不能拖延。如今,我唯一能作的,是參加他在5月29日,在循道衛理教會國際禮拜堂舉行的安息禮拜,家人以我是他最老友的同學,安排了我扶他的靈柩,緬懷他的一生,目送他化成灰飛。但我知道,在我心中的悲痛,卻是永遠不能釋懷!

志强兄,與你天家再見!

這個真的太突然!我仍然清晰記得他與羅志明兩兄弟!是不是繼任龍孫大夫之後我社又一令人痛悼的消息?希望羅兄弟安息主懷,家人能夠堅強面對,一起平安渡過這段艱難時刻!大家保重!

It is indeed a sad news for all of us. I still vividly remember that some of our classmates including me were frequent visitors to the Law’s family, fooling around and doing anything we wanted, even bullying his youngest brother. Johnny not only gave us the first class hospitality but also provided excellent services for Bridge game.

He was really blessed by God. He accepted Jesus as his personal saviour when he was studying in Canada. Then he became a dedicated Christian and leader in his church. His life will be remembered by those who shared his joy of life. I really missed him as I did not have a chance to meet up with him personally when I visited Hong Kong few times in the past. I will never forget his unique characters: work hard, play hard, and think hard. Now he died hard but with all the achievements he had for his church and school.

I treasure my friendship with him forever.

In Christ

I am shocked and saddened by the passing of 志強. The last time I saw him was at the reunion dinner in 2014. 同班同學. Will pray for his bereaved family.

So sad to hear the news. We used to go to his place all the time either to play or for other class related activities and I know all his family (his old family, not the wife or kids).my family actually knows his family too. His dad also passed away from cancer many years ago and 嬌嬌‘s brother was the doctor . So sad news. My deepest sympathy for the family !

得悉大羅離開歸家,非常沉痛哀傷,但為他愛主事主,榮神益人的生命感恩。

想起以往常到他家打橋牌,談天說笑,不禁罔然!

三星期晚上以為心臟病,叫了救傷車入急症寫,痛不欲生了二十一小時,https://discipler123.blogspot.com/2021/04/56-2021-21-facebook-silastyng.html  原來是腎石,我們這年紀,真的是要作好回家的準備,大羅大功告成了,日後天家再見。

Life is fragile. It’s sad to hear this news. As we age, this type of news is coming more and more. Although I don’t know him, I pray that God would comfort his family.
