21 April 1945 – 2 September 2006

My father was a hardworking man, dedicated to his craft. Despite the onslaught of his sickness, he pushed on to complete his last work, a sculpture created for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

I am saddened to announce that my father, Anthony Poon, has last the battle to cancer and passed away on the 2nd of September 2006. He lived a fulfilling life and had a successful career, dying fulfilling a wish he made in 1991 when he said:

“I would like to end my life with a paint brush in my hand.”


Rest in peace.
