Rest in Peace – Leon Pon

My last surviving uncle on my Chinese side, Leon Pon has had Alzheimer’s for years/decades. He died with friends and family in attendance yesterday afternoon around 2:00 p.m. in Oakland, California.

I hope my Chinese family over there is doing well. I hear some of my younger first cousins once removed are freaking out a little bit – those who were his grandchildren – but I figure they’re young – they will be resilient, even though they probably don’t know it yet.

I’ll check in on them in a few days.

Mostly I need to figure out if Dad’s still coming to visit! (I assume so, but don’t know 100% for sure.)
