In Loving Memory

HCK00000840

George Soh Yew Bin
Jul 3, 1935 - Apr 8, 2008

My father passed away this morning.
He was an officer, a gentleman, a husband and one heck of a gregarious character who had stories aplenty to tell us all.
For some of us, his tales of training at Sandhurst, then plowing through the Malayan jungles during the Konfrontasi, then building up the SAF were nothing short of the extraordinary.
He will be remembered for his sense of humour, his wonderful empathy for his pets and his amazing ability to make everyone feel at ease.

But for me, my father was the sweetie, who asked for "que sera sera" at my wedding, because we used to sing it together when I was a little girl. Who cried as he gave me away and who was always concerned about how his children and granchildren did in life.

Daddy, I miss you already.

I'm so sorry, Nat. My condolences go to you and your family.
