Wing Chau Lau's Obituary
Wing Chau passed away peacefully the evening of Thursday, May 7, 2020, at Sonoma Post Acute Nursing Home. Dedicated husband of Kin Tao Lau, devoted father of Nancy Lau, Steven (Jessica) Lau, Diana (Gordon) Lee, Monica (Dominic) Law; cherished grandfather of Briana, Alex, and Nick Lau, Aaron and Carrie Lee, Richard and Michelle Law; also survived by many loving family and friends and will be greatly missed by all.
Wing Chau was born on October 10, 1944 in Canton, Fa Yuen. He was the eldest of three siblings. He was raised in China and lived there until 1979. He had great appreciation for the arts and was athletic as a young man. He was talented in drawing and carving. He enjoyed making music with his harmonica. He also enjoyed playing basketball. Trained as a teacher, he taught grade school students in Arts and Physical Education. For better opportunities, at the age of 35, he and his wife took the whole family and left China and everything they knew to start a new life in the USA. With almost nothing and four young kids whose ages ranged from 2 months to 10 years old, he and his wife began their new journey in Chinatown, San Francisco. As a bean sprouts maker, he worked very hard. He and his wife bought a small house in Santa Rosa and moved the family there. After relocating to Santa Rosa, he found a new job as a grocer in a supermarket, where he worked until he retired at age 67.
He raised 4 kids who all graduated from good universities with Bachelor degrees in various disciplines of engineering. He was a simple man who found joy in the simple things of life – long walks, pruning trees in the backyard, watching movies on TV. He was happy just to have food on the table and a roof over his head. His joy lied in his family. His purpose was to give them a better life. His greatest pride was his kids.
Wing Chau will be dearly missed by everyone’s heart he touched. His simple enjoyment of life and his devotion to his family will always be remembered. A Celebration of Wing Chau’s Life will be held on Monday, 5/18/2020 at 12:00 pm, at Skylawn Funeral Home & Memorial Park.

2020年5月7日（星期四）晚上，劉永就和平地逝世於 Sonoma Post Acute療養院。他的妻子 Kin Tao Lau，孩子 Nancy Lau，Steven(Jessica) Lau，Diana(Gordon）Lee, Monica(Dominic）Law，孫子 Briana, Alex, and Nick Lau, Aaron and Carrie Lee，Richard and Michelle Law 得以倖存，以及許多充滿愛心的家人和朋友。他將被所有人深深懷念。
永就於1944年10月10日出生在廣州花園。他是三個兄弟姐妹中的老大。他在中國長大，一直生活到1979年。他對藝術充滿讚賞，年輕時是運動健將。他在繪畫和雕刻方面很有才華。他喜歡用口琴演奏音樂。他還喜歡打籃球。受過教師培訓，他在藝術和體育領域教小學生。為了獲得更好的機會，他在35歲時和妻子帶著整個家庭離開了中國，在美國開始了新的生活。他和妻子幾乎一無所有，四個孩子的年齡從2個月到10歲不等，他和妻子在舊金山唐人街開始了新的旅程。作為一個豆芽製造商，他非常努力。他和他的妻子在Santa Rosa買了一間小房子，並將一家搬到那裡。搬到Santa Rosa後，他在一家超市找到了一份雜貨店的新工作，一直工作到67歲退休。
他撫養了4個孩子，他們都是從優秀的大學獲得工程學學士學位的。他是一個簡單的人，他在簡單的生活中找到了快樂-長途散步，修剪後院的樹木，看電視上的電影。他的喜悅在於他的家人。他的目的是讓他們過上更好的生活。他最大的驕傲是他的孩子們。
他感動的每個人都會深深懷念永就。他簡單的生活享受和對家人的熱愛將永遠被銘記。紀念館將於2020年5月18日，星期一，下午12:00在加州San Mateo百齡園紀念公園舉行.由於Covid-19大流行病患者的限制，如果您想參加，可以使用可視的Zoom Memorial Service。要加入，只需按下面的Zoom鏈接。
