Very sad news to hear. Chan is well remembered by all of us who had the privilege of being in the same class with him at Kendrick High School. I will remember him as an incredibly brilliant and funny person with a great smile, our class valedictorian who inspired so many in the Class of 1984. My sincere sympathies go out to the family.
Sorry to hear about this, he will forever be remembered as a KHS family member.
