生平史略 Obituary

黃維耀先生生於1954年10月23日，終於2016年3月25日，享年62歲。他出生於香港草根家庭，家住石硤尾，自小聰明好學，由於是家中長子，事無大小，都由他決定，六姐弟妹都以他馬首是瞻，感情和睦。由於他好學不倦，電子、電腦、維修、銀行、甚至烹飪、縫紉都難不到他。於1972年畢業於香港基督教協同中學後，加入銀行界，在渣打銀行工作了二十年，位至分行經理，於1978年結婚，育有一子。

1995年，有感97香港回歸後前途不明朗，毅然決定移民加拿大，定居卡加利。在香港銀行業工作超過二十年的他，移民後於加拿大的銀行界短暫工作，開始萌生退意，決定轉行。曾當過物業管理和電腦公司倉務主管，在電腦公司工作期間，對電腦產生濃厚興趣，開始孜孜不倦地鑽研電腦知識，對日後的工作大有禆益。

他最大的興趣是周遊列國，自婚後每年都會自編行程，與家人到心儀的地方旅遊。退休後的心願是和家人環遊世界。

“世上無難事，只怕有心人”，他便是那個有心人，從來沒有任何困難可以難到他。他為人樂觀，健談、喜歡烹飪，更喜歡和一大群朋友和家人一同歡聚，分享他弄的每一道菜。

可惜在他六十歲決定退休時不幸染病，但他仍樂觀面對，與病共存兩年。雖然晚年承受不少痛苦，但他卻又經歷人生豐富的祝福，在離世前一天決志信主。他現在已脫離屬世的苦楚，在天父慈愛的懷抱裏，希望他能在天國生活愉快、無憂、無愁、無痛苦。

My Dad

My Dad feared nothing. I never recall him ever being afraid of anything. When I stumble in life, he would encourage me to keep my chin up, be confident and get through any tough situations. My Dad was very smart and creative; he understood mechanical and electrical concepts without the need for a formal education. He made toys for me when I was young, built furniture, made shoes and clothing he also fixed appliances electronics and computers at home. My Dad loved food and was a very good cook. He took his creativity to the kitchen and had created a lot of tasty dishes and desserts for us. My dad has shown me an example of true love. He was committed to making Mom happy every single day. If something was important to her, it was important to him. They had been happily married for 38 years. He also loved me very much. He always supported me and took care of me even when I hated him at times. Dad, thank you for teaching me how to ride a bike and how to swim. Thank you for helping me with my studies and to become the strong person that I am today. I will care for Mom just the same as you cared for us. Thank you for all that you have done for me, you are the best Daddy in the whole world. I love you
