My grandfather had a special way of whistling with the birds. I remember how he would make the sweetest sounds, and it felt like the birds understood him. I take comfort in the thought that he flies among them, soaring through the sky, free and at peace. This memory, among many, will forever be in my heart.

Our beloved father and grandfather, Shao Wai-Ting, was born in June 1938 in Weihaiwei, Shandong Province. At the age of eleven, he left his hometown and traveled via Hong Kong to Keelung, Taiwan, to continue his education.
Passionate about basketball and track and field during his high school years, Wai-Ting was selected for the regional team several times. He achieved numerous accolades and championship titles as a determined athlete, proudly representing his school.
Wai-Ting was an honorable son who always prioritized his family. He tirelessly dedicated his full attention to the family business, never allowing himself a moment's rest. 
He was also a devoted and loving husband. Wai-Ting met his wife, Shao Hsueh Ming-Teh, 65 years ago, and they shared 58 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they raised four daughters, Kent-Mou, Gwo-Maw, Shin-Mao, and Chie-Mao, showering them with unwavering love and protection. This same care was shared with his eight grandchildren as well as his friends and extended family. 
Family and friends will remember Wai-Ting as a man who constantly put others before himself.  His kindness, sense of humor, and generosity touched the lives of everyone he met.
At the age of 86, Wai-Ting was called home by the Lord. God appoints a time for each of us, and Wai-Ting faced his time with steadfast faith while surrounded by his entire family. As he leaned on God and faithfully served Him throughout his life, he has now entered the eternal peace that God prepared for him in Heaven, resting from the labors of this world.
The love and admiration for our father and grandpa will never fade. He will be deeply missed and forever cherished in our hearts.
