Remembrance of Alex Hsu.
We lost a great doctor, a great colleague, a great friend, and a great father. He was not only kind, generous, caring, funny, and full of love, but his hard work, patience, encouragement and perseverance had won many hearts.
As a great doctor, he would spend time with each his patients and listen to their concern. Never rush or impatience with anyone. He treated each one of them as his own family members. He gave advises to each patient as they were his own parents, brothers, sisters or children. He was no shame to be so called a “Family doctor”.
As a great colleague, he always lending hands to help new doctors coming to town. He would introduce them to the local communities, gave them tips and advises, and even sent patients to help them to build their practice. He was never asked for return, but just helped them.
As a great friend, many of us had considered he was a friend as well. He was a down to earth guy once you knew him. He was funny, generous, and kind. He would not reject you as a friend because of your social status. He especially loved to eat. I remembered one time just him and I, we were out for dinner. We ordered all the delicious Chinese seafood dishes including lobster, crabs, clams, shrimps, scallops, and so forth, even the table was running out of room. Many times, we shared life, sadness, laughter and even gossip. He was fun to hang out with.
As a great father, he always planned for his children. With the few encounters I had with his children, he taught them well with respect to others. He cared about every single one of them. Each one of them loves him as well. Sometime when we dine out at a new place; he would bring his children there the next day. He also taught them the value of life and gave them the pointers, freedom to try. He was always supportive with their own decision and gave them the help that they needed.
After all these years, I truly miss him; he will be always in my mind. He had fought a good journey of life and his reward is waiting for him in heaven. I believe I will see him again and have a great feast together in heaven. May God bless him and his family.
Harvey,
Friend forever
