Roger Doo Yee [1911 - 2008]
For those of you who have just met my Grandpa, I’m sorry to tell you that he passed away at the age of 96. He was a great man who is partially responsible for bringing over our family from China in the early 1900’s and faced all the challenges and hardships of immigrating to the United States to provide a better lifestyle for his future generations.
I am in charge of compiling a collage of images of him for the services this week. I am lucky enough to be able to go through all their photo albums through the years and find great pictures of my grandparents and family members having fun times with him through the years. The one above is one of my favorites of the 100 or so that I scanned tonight. It’s a picture of him at Dulles Airport. He is wearing a suit, vest and tie, because that’s just how he dressed. He would wear suits, or at the very least, dress pants and a button down shirt and a sweater almost all the time. My grandmother is in the foreground. I’ll miss him.
