Dr Davies Ng Cheng Hin.


There’s no doubt that our dear departed friend was one of the most liked
person in our community judging by the constant flow of people who came
during the two days’ wake and the overflowing crowd at the funeral.

The testimony came with the touching eulogy his nephew, Andrew Lee gave and
the most moving one André Lan delivered so eloquently, which brought tears
to everyone.

Yet, he lived a very simple life caring for his family.His wife, Lise and
him were devoted parents of: Patrick, Sandrine and Jason. I’ll never forget
the night of LiMing 15th anniversary party when their 3 children, all
(black-belt) were to give an exhibition, he hardly ate dinner, while making
sure that the three would be ready and also his camera so as he wouldn’t
miss any of their moves.

For his patients, he arduously and relentlessly cared for them and the wordmust have got around of his devotion and dedication, which made his
practice ever increasingly growing. It wasn’t for the money as we all know
of doctors’ plight of “fees capping”, but he just couldn’t refuse anybody
who needed care.

One would have thought that being in the medical field, he should have been
more aware of his predicament at an earlier stage, my humble conclusion is
that he worked so hard before taking that long awaited vacation back home
just after 35 years and trying to catch up upon his return had him believe that
it was just fatigue but found out too late what it really was. According to
his own assessment, he confided to me when I saw him Sept.10th that in the
worst scenario he’d have 3 months left but God abruptly ended his
sufferings, which must have been intense at that stage.

To everyone of his family,relatives and friends,it all seemed like a bad
dream but unfortunately it was not and the impact of his death is slowly sinking in.

St Joachim Church in Pointe-Claire was packed for a memorial masscelebrated on Oct. 29, 2005. Even Fr Pierre Labossiere was impressed by the
request of the organizers ( a group of ten friends) for such an elaborate
mass, complete with organ music and hymns. The celebrant said that when we
are gathered in the name of God, He must be there, hinting so was Davies.

After, the whole crowd gathered at Ecclestone Chalet in Kirkland for
refreshments. Had it been a normal gathering during his lifetime, Davies
would have been there enjoying the treats; he could very well have been
there in spirit!
