Rossoneri Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 It is with great sadness that I read about the passing of Charles Leong, former Singapore junior international and occasional vugraph commentator (his bbo handle was charles_l) in the December edition of the SCBA newsletter (SCBA website, go to newsletters, December 09) 1. Obituary of Charles LeongWith much sadness, I will like to extendour condolences for Charles, who playedBridge actively at SCBA and on BBO. Hepassed away unexpectedly on 26th Novat a young age of 28 years. Like hisfather, he suffered from musculardystrophy. It is always depressing whenour beloved friends pass on, especiallywhen at a premature age. I don't really know Charles very well, our interactions were limited to the few times I saw him at the clubhouse or to the times when I was on BBO kibitzing him or watching his commentary on vugraph. He was a friendly, approachable guy and I do remember learning a few pointers from him at the club. His sudden passing is indeed a loss to the bridge community both in Singapore and online. (Edit: Thanks to the mod who moved it to the correct forum! I was a bit mixed up the first time round!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Charles used to live in London when he was at university there, and it was there that I had the priviledge of meeting him. A few of us are planning some sort of memorial ceremony in London over the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
