Greg Hoh's Obituary
何英富生於西元1940年，祖籍廣東省恩平縣，在家裡是男生排行第6，畢業於台南成功大學物理系。曾於台南七股教書1-2年，是一位用心認真的教師。1966年與李仁潔結縭，共育有3女。婚後找到民航一份差事，一個人扛起一個大家庭的飯碗，極其辛苦。1972至1973年間因申請到 TI(德州儀器公司)的工作，舉家搬遷台北，工作升遷，經濟才慢慢提升。TI 一待就10年，後來才換了另一家電子公司。到1984年，全家移民德州 Dallas，又重新開始一個新的生活。因遇到校友，經介紹又進了 TI。不過沒多久，因部門縮減，趕緊申請到 Midland 的 TI，於是又搬遷一次。約7年後，經濟大不景氣，才又搬回 Dallas。 他個性開朗，樂於助人，能言善道，很受學生的敬重和愛戴，人際關係不錯。來到美國後，自己學木工，又學會修電腦，家庭各樣修繕也都難不倒他。在公司裡，是個有條不紊的主管，在家裡，是數理科老師。自己省吃儉用，供三姊妹完成了大學學業，各自皆成家。近幾年來他又愛上了攝影，向高手請教，也學會了修片。同時也參加詩社和合唱團。他的文筆頂尖，作詩翻譯也是他的專長。閒來無事，陪孫子釣魚、照相。6/8跟一群朋友出遊，騎馬和照相，不料從馬上摔下重傷，經醫院治療數日，還是不治身亡。 爸爸在媽媽心目中是一個堅強的支柱，在兒女心目中是一個萬能的超人，在孫子們心目中是一個啟發性的玩伴。雖然他走得很突然，我們都很不捨，但是他永遠活在我們心中。 Mr. Greg Hoh was born in 1940, from Enping County, Guangdong Province, China.

Seven years later, because of the economic recession we moved back to Dallas again. He had a pleasant personality, was very open-minded, enjoyed helping others, was an eloquent and persuasive speaker, loved and respected by his students, and had good interpersonal relationships with others. After he came to US, he became very handy, self-taught carpentry and very skillful in fixing computers. He was able to fix everything and do all the maintenance works.

He was an excellent writer, expertized in writing poetry and translation. At leisure time, he loved to go fishing and take pictures with his grandchildren. On June 8th, he went outing, horse riding, and photographing with a group of friends. Unexpectedly, he fell off from the horse back and severely injured. He went through intensive treatments in hospital for several days, but they were unable to keep him alive and he went to be with the Lord. In our Mom’s heart, our father is always the strong pillar to her that she was able to trust and depend on. In his daughters’ hearts, he is always the mighty Superman.
