He was a small business owner until he retired in 1999 at the age of 62. He was an aspiring chef and always wanted to share his love for food. He enjoyed tinkering with Chinese herbs and always encouraged everyone to eat healthily and to live a full life. During his retirement, he enjoyed gardening, taking a stroll past Washington Park to the Original Royal Donut Shop on Burlingame Ave, where he enjoyed his daily cup of coffee and a donut while reading his Chinese newspaper. On certain days of the week, he would go to San Mateo Central Park with his wife to socialize with friends, have a meal with them, or do TaiChi. He was a simple man and was admired by many and was popular for giving wise advice of all kinds. Anyone who came across him felt a sincere connection with him, felt at peace and had good laughs. He was a man of the Tao faith and was very affectionate to his family, relatives, and friends. He was a very humble man and very generous to others. His belief in I Kuan Tao only validated him to be even more virtuous. He always had an easy going approach to everything. He would smile and never held a grudge towards anyone. To him, everything was "No problem", "Don't worry about it", or "Just forgive and move on".
