Joe Ng 吳智誠 was born on June 13, 1956 and departed from us too soon on November 5, 2016.  He touched so many lives with his gentle and loving spirit.

Joe was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the US in the summer of 1974.  He received his Bachelor Degree from Texas A&M University and Master Degree from Texas Tech University in 1979.  Joe enjoyed a 35-year career as an engineer in the high tech industry.  He enjoyed poetry, travel and more recently cooking.  His first love though was always his family.

Joe is survived by his loving wife, Veronica; devoted children Kristina and Stephanie.  He is also survived by his mother and four sisters.  He will be missed by all who knew him.

家中留著那個我們還未完成的「愛篇」砌圖,這砌圖就如我們37年的婚姻,婚姻如砌圖,都不容易,但我們沒有放棄過,就總是忍耐的尋找,努力的拼合,恆心去完成,「愛篇」的畫面就一步一步的顯露出來。今天我們雖然未能完成這「愛篇」,但我知道在永恆裡這愛會完全,因為我們所持守的,信,望,愛,只有愛永遠常存 ……我等著與你再會的一天。

I know one of your favorite memories is my pure happiness and excitement to see you when you picked me up from day care.  One day, I will see you again and I will once again have the biggest smile on my face …… 小甜筒

Daddy, I miss you.  It’s always been your quiet love and presence that I looked for.  You sat with me, you always had a hug for me, you were silly with me, you danced with me.  You walked me down the aisle, and let go of my hand to say I do.  Now I’m letting go of your hand for you to be with the Lord.  I hold the sweet memory of our dance together in my heart.  I look forward to dancing with you again.  I love you always and all the time …… 細蚊仔

King’s Memory of Joe

吳景唐

I know Joe Ng (吳智誠同學) for over half a century and he was one of the most, if not the most, likable person in my circle of friends. He was disciplined in his career and his health, caring for his family and friends, never criticized of others and had the perfect temperament to be friends or colleagues.  To put it simple, I never saw him lost his temper or raised his voice to his friends or family for as long as I have known him.  Our SF Bay Area classmates were entirely devastated by his sudden departure.  The news of his death has overwhelmed our recent and shocking US presidential election.  We may suffer from the elected hypocritical egomaniac as our country leader for 4 years but we will have a renewed leadership in a few years, but we have lost Joe forever.  That’s the saddest news among our classmates and he will be missed dearly!
