Mr. Lau, George K
Biography
Our beloved Lasallian, George Lau (Class of 67), aged 74, passed away peacefully on August 12, 2023.
George loved our school and was an active Old Boy. He would attend all San Francisco Chapter events: lunch gatherings, golf outings, spring dinners, etc. He would gladly drive out from his home in the city to even faraway places to join his fellow classmates for a nice time. Not to mention he joined every LSCOBA global reunion in different cities throughout these years.
George was always cheerful and supportive. We could always expect a great smile and warm greeting from him every time we met. He would support every La Salle-related charity and merchandise whenever they were available from our chapter, and would proudly wear them out in all our events.
He brought us so much great memories, and will always live in our hearts.
Thank you, George!
May you rest in peace in God’s embrace.
