I was sad to hear of Frank's passing.
I first met you as a neighbour in Maungaraki and became the babysitter as a young teenager to Pip and Amanda on many an occasion.
Frank later became my boss at Allan Bank Office Supplies and I always admired his fantastic sense of style and very classy smart clothing and well polished shoes.
Thinking of you Pip and Amanda.

God looked around his garden, and found an empty place
He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest
With the help of his angels, they flew you to your heavenly place.
God’s garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
God saw that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well on Earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb
He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be Thine”.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
So Uncle Pok, you’ve left us with peaceful memories, you love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our sides.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one, our chain will link again.
Go well, Uncle Pok. Rest in peace.
With love,
Nic, Ben and Sam

Dear Pok,
You became an ‘adopted brother’ to us sisters, in our teens, at Wellington Road. When you returned to New Zealand you brought the exoticism of youthful Hong Kong to 1950s’ New Zealand.
We helped in keeping those sweeping Elvis hairdos just right, you got us to Rock ‘n Roll and taught us, the Cha Cha and to dance demonstrations at the bible class dances of the day.
We had so much fun.
We will miss your smile, your friendship,
Rest in peace Pok.
Joc and Linda
Deepest sympathy to the Cheung families.

Pip, Amanda, Simon and Finn,
I have cherished childhood memories of Uncle Pok when you lived in Maungaraki, and when Darren and I would come to visit. And, more recently, John and I recall how proud and happy he was at your wedding, Amanda and Simon.
Uncle Pok may not have said much, but he was a kind and humble man who would envelope you in a tight hug when he saw you. He will be sadly missed.
Our love and deepest sympathy for your loss at this sad time.
Lisa and John xx

Frank - I will always remember those days when we snookered and dined together and enjoyed our lunches at the Wellesley.
Wonderful times which made a working life so much more bearable.
Thanks for the memories!

Philippa, Amanda, Simon and Finn,
We were devastated to hear the news of Uncle Pok's passing. Our hearts go out to you all at this difficult time and we mourn with you.
We have many fond memories of Uncle Pok, particularly when Lisa and I were children. We will miss his great sense of humor and his love of good food. We cherish the man he was and the impression he left upon all our lives.
On behalf of my family, you have our sincerest condolences. We are sorry that we are not able to pay our last respects in person but you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Take Care
Darren, Sandy and Conrad Cheung
