David Yue's Obituary
Life of David YueMr. Wing-Hong Yue, also known as David Yue, was born in a Christian family on November 13, 1926 in Hong Kong. Mr. Yue’s father passed away when he was only nine and he was raised by his mother and eldest brother in a warm and loving family. Mr. Yue was outstanding in his studies. He had a good command of the Chinese and English languages. Just shy from finishing his High School studies during the Second World War, he managed to join the rank of Civil Servants in Hong Kong Government when he was seventeen. Mr. Yue was agreeable and helpful. His relatives and neighbors always came to him for help in translating English letters from the Hong Kong Government, and he never refused anyone.Mr. Yue was married to Ms. Piu-Kiu Lee in 1947 and together they raised seven children [May-Tong (Miranda), Chi-Chiu, Chi-Yeung, May-Ling, Chi-Kin (Andrew), May-Po (Mabel) and Chi-Wai (Freddie)]. His children fondly remember how, though leading a frugal life, their dad would surprise the family by taking them to the movies, and overwhelming them with chocolates, chewing gum, and goodies.After retirement, Mr. and Mrs. Yue immigrated to the USA in 1987. They loved watching their grandchildren grow up and enjoyed living with the family until Mrs. Yue’s health began to deteriorate in 1994. It was a heavy burden to Mr. Yue, but he took good care of his wife until she passed away in 1995. Mr. Yue grieved deeply but was able to pull himself together. For many years, he lived independently and took good care of himself until his hospitalization in late 2013. Mr. Yue attended church on Sundays, visited his sons and grandchildren on weekends, and led an active social life in the senior community on weekdays.Mr. Yue never left his talents unnoticed. His self-taught harmonica skill almost attained a professional level. His passion in the harmonica made him shine in many senior parties and annual celebrations. Mr. Yue was equally impressive in ballroom dance. Even at his advanced age, his elegant moves made him appear youthful again.Mr. Yue went to be with the Lord on June 12, 2014 in Mountain View, California USA. He was survived by three sons and three daughters-in-law, three daughters and three sons-in-law, twelve grandchildren and two grandsons-in-law. God has abundantly blessed Mr. Yue throughout his life. In his final months, Mr. Yue was bedridden and wheelchair bound and he had to endure dialysis and many other hardships. However, he was amazingly resilient and showed his simple reliance in God. He has left a good example for people to follow and will be missed dearly.余榮康先生生平余榮康先生，又名余大衛。一九二六年十一月十三日出生於香港。余先生九歲喪父，母親及長兄在一個溫暖的基督教家庭將他養育成人。余先生自幼聰穎，就讀名校，中英俱佳，二次世界大戰期間，未能完成中學課程，後來年紀輕輕，仍能考進香港政府，躋身公務員行列。余先生平易近人，樂於助人，親朋鄰舍，如有需要幫助，從不推辭。余榮康先生於一九四七年與李佩嬌女士成婚，共育有七名子女（美棠，志超，志揚，美玲，志健，美寶，志偉）。他們過着儉樸的生活，但偶然爸爸也給孩子們意外驚喜，帶他們去看電影，朱古力，香口膠，源源不絕，孩子們不亦樂乎！退休後，余先生和余太太於一九八七年移民來美，含貽弄孫，共聚天倫。一九九四年余太太健康衰退，余先生夫婦情深，悉心照料。一九九五年，余太太息勞歸主，余先生放開懷抱，收拾心情，過着獨立生活。余先生起居飲食，生活作息，井井有條，不用家人掛心。直到去年十一月因病入院為止，余先生經常參加主日敬拜，週末與兒孫共敘，週日與一班長者交往，活躍於社群當中，過着非常充實的生活。余先生滿有音樂天份，琴棋書畫也有涉獵，自學口琴，尤為超卓。耆英聚會，週年慶典，時常被邀成為表演嘉賓。余先生每次認真預備，以期達到賓主盡歡。此外，余先生亦舞藝超群，八十高齡，翩翩起舞，大有雄風猶在之慨。余榮康先生於二零一四年六月十二日於美國加州山景城主懷安息。余先生兒孫滿堂，兒子媳婦六人，女兒女婿六人，男女內外孫十二人，內外孫女婿二人，隨侍在旁。他的一生得着神大大的祝福，福杯滿溢。余先生生命到了末期，身體已經很虛弱，行動不便，還要適應洗腎及其他醫療痛楚；但是他仍然默默承受，堅毅不拔。他對神單一的仰望，對生命的堅持，給我們留下一個好榜樣，讓我們深深的懷念他。Services will be held in his honor at Skylawn Funeral Home and Memorial Park in San Mateo, California.
