Hey Anh Phu... school's around the corner, and it's been almost 3 months since you've been gone. You're still missed, and always will be missed. =) Be by my side throughout the school year and bless me with the spirit and energy you always had =) Until we meet again... Nho Phu qua!

Phu oi, it has now been over three months have you left us. I am writing to you now because I was not ready to say goodbye to you then. There has not been a day that has gone by that I do not think of you. I still hurt so deeply and yearn to hear your voice and to hold your hand once again. It pains me to think how scared you must have been at that moment in time. I wished I could have been there for you. I miss you so much and pray that you are doing okay. Please know that I love you with all my heart and that I can't wait until the day we meet again. You will always be in my thoughts...

Six years from now at our high school reunion...You will be there in our hearts. Later Phuey!!!

Phú ơi, trời Oregon đã chớm Thu, lá chưa đổi màu , trường học chuẩn bị mở cửa đón học sinh rồi đó em . Nghĩ đến lẽ ra em đang chuẩn bị cho ngày nhập trường mà chị không kềm được sự thương tiếc và đau đớn . Chị hẹn gặp em trong ngày gần nhất chị có thể đến bên em , thăm em , chào em và đặt lên chỗ em đang an nghỉ một vòng tay người chị không hiểu sao thấy rất gần với em , thương em và muốn có lại em trong cuộc đời để cùng chia xẻ những thăng trầm , hạnh phúc chị em mình đã có trong cuộc đời , em há . Ngủ ngon nha em , Phú Heo của chị .

Được một người quen giới thiệu trang web này, tôi đã vào thăm và thật bất ngờ khi đọc những dòng viếng đầy xúc động. Chưa được biết Phú trước đây, nhưng đọc được tình cảm mọi người viết dành cho em dù ngắn ngủi nhưng đầy tình cảm luyến tiếc, cũng đủ thấy em đã chiếm được một vị trí quan trọng trong lòng mọi người. Là một người trẻ tuổi trong nước, ngưỡng mộ em qua trang web này, xin được tỏ lòng tiếc thương em, một niềm hy vọng của đất nước VN sớm về cõi vĩnh hằng. Xin được thắp cho em nén nhang từ biệt! Mong Thuy Nguyen

Phú ơi , Cũng như BT , chị cũng thấy nhớ em từng ngày . Có ngày đọc những gì mọi người viết cho em , chị hình dung ra được hết những ngày trong đời em có , chợt thấy như đã cùng đi với em thân thiết hơn bao giờ . Mỗi lần một người thân của chị ra đi , chị dường như cũng đi theo , rồi sống lại , chị làm con người khác liên hệ lại với con người cũ của chị bằng những dòng như thế này . Nhớ em thật nhiều hôm nay . Ngủ ngon nha em .

Still missing you each and every day.

WOW....you are such a fortunate person/soul. There are so many out there thinking and missing you. You'll never be forgotten. Have fun on your long vacation.

I will visit you before the new semester begins again. Until then...

Phú ơi Em vẫn sống trong lòng cúa chị ,từng ngày , từng giờ , từng khoảnh khắc , chị nghĩ tới em để có thêm niềm tin trong cuộc đời mà sống, chị nhớ em , thương em và mong nơi đâu em tới , chị tin rằng em đều mang được bình an và niềm vui và hạnh phúc cho mọi người . Ngủ ngon nha em, Phú Heo của chị .

gosh, life is so unfair. exactly 1 year ago, one of my best and the greatest friend pass away at such a young age like you. it is extremely hard to accept it and I still haven't forgotten her yet. the pain is still here and here i'm visiting the uvsa's website and seeing you're gone at a young age broke my heart once again into thousand of pieces. words cannot describe how admirable i'm to you and how sad it is that you're gone.

hey buddy, I was searching the web search and found this page, so I have no idea why you died. Nevertheless this knowledge has brought sadness to me. Perhaps it shouldn't because I accept that we all have to go sooner or later. Well, buddy, I hope your stay is longer the next time you're back in this world. I may or may not be here. But if I were, I'll get you some sun tan lotion. Best of luck.

Phu, you are an awesome guy. I never really talked to you even though you were at a couple VAHSA meetings and you taught me vietnamese at temple a couple times, but when i heard that you died i broke into tears. That was something new. I didnt cry when my beta fish died, or even at my grandma's funeral... but hearing this happen to a hard-working and aspiring human being like you just pushed me to somewhere i had never been. R.I.P PHU. You were.. no, ARE awesome.

Phú ơi Chị ở xa quá không có điều kiện dự 49 ngày lễ cầu siêu cho em , chị vẫn vào đây thăm em từng ngày và nhớ em rất nhiều như những ngày đầu được giới thiệu vào đây biết em, dù lúc đó em cũng đã đi xa rồi . Chị vẫn nghe lại rất thường những giờ phát thanh của em , có cái gì đó an ủi chị lắm . Ngủ ngon nha em , Phú heo của chị , cầu bình an cho em và những gì tốt đẹp nhất . Hẹn gặp em nhé .

You were a fine example to those around you. It was such a shame that you had to leave this world right after graduating from Cal State Fullerton. True, I or anyone else from AHS-VSA never personally never knew him, but the example he set for people will surely inspire the next generation of Vietnamese adolescences like us.

I never realized the last time seeing you would be then. I'm sorry we didn't chat for a little longer, catch up, or keep in touch more often. I'm sorry I didn't know this until now. May you rest in peace con heo con. Missing you.

You sound like a heroic person for being such an impressive leader. So many miss you & I for one will always remember you, even if I don't know who you are. But you've set an example for everyone. It's only disappointing to see you die at a young age. Have fun in Heaven.

Phú ơi, chị vẫn vào đây thăm em , vẫn thấy em thật gần, vẫn cảm từng nụ cười , từng cái nhăn mặt làm khỉ va` những tinh nghịch em có , em nơi đâu , mong em cảm được nỗi nhớ thật sâu , thật chân thành từ mọi người và từ chị . Hẹn gặp em, lúc đó cho chị ôm em thật chặt , có khóc , chị cũng không buồn vì chị thương em lắm Phú Heo à .

hey PHU ! wow, it's been a little bit over a month since you've been gone. how I miss you terribly..sometimes late at night, as I lay there reminising, I think of how much fun it was getting to know you;our great memories. I can't wait until I finally see you one day. I promise one day this summer, me&joanna will go visit you and tell you stories of our hilarious good old times. anyways hope you're doing good up there and continue watching over everyone. We all truly love you.

Xin chào vĩnh biệt một người không quen. Xin chào vĩnh biệt một "Tâm Hồn Việt Nam Sáng Ngời!" Tình thần hoạt động cao thượng và sự đấu tranh không mệt mỏi của Phú cho một cộng đồng vững mạnh, và một quê hương dân tộc Việt nam được tự do, PHÚ cường sẽ luôn luôn là một ngọn đuốc, một tấm gương sáng không những cho các bạn trẻ, mà còn cho nhiều người khác nữa. Phú thật sự là một ngọn đuốc soi đường cho những ai đã và đang thờ ơ với quê hương và dân tộc... R.I.P.

RIP&GOD BLESS

Vẫn vào thăm em mỗi ngày và chưa bao giờ , dù chỉ một lần muốn nói lời tạm biệt với em , hẹn em tại Nam Cali Tết 2006 , đợi em về , ôm chặt em và hỏi , em khoẻ không Phú , năm đầu trường Y tại UCLA chắc là cực lắm hả em . Ráng lên thằng Heo của chị , chị nhớ em lắm Phú Heo à .

So Anh Phu... Enjoying the weather up there? =) I was listening to the interview we had last July. Man, you cracked some corny jokes :) Made me smile. I was at the temple the other day and I had the chance to talk with one of the monks who knew of your... "temporary sleep" :). For the past few weeks, I've been trying to absorb all of this... even after all the "farewells" i've said or given. I have so many questions for you.. but I guess I'll have to wait until my "temporary sleep"... Meanwhile, I will not let an opportunity pass where I can pick up where you left off. =) I'll KIT with you in my prayers. Night Anh Phu Heo!!!!!

Tôi vẫn vào trang web này đọc những tâm tình mà bạn bè các nơi đã chia sẽ về Phú. Những tâm tình đầy ấp dành cho Phú làm tôi rất cảm động, nhưng cảm động hơn cả là có những người chưa từng quen Phú cũng đem lòng thương yêu, mến phục Phú vì những gì em đã làm cho quê hương. Tôi đặc biệt cảm động về những chia sẽ của bạn VK/OR và BS Toàn Nguyễn/Hà Nội. Là những người đã quen biết và làm việc chung với Phú trong những năm qua, chúng tôi rất hân hạnh được chia sẻ, tâm tình thêm với các anh chị chưa quen Phú về những điều mà chúng tôi biết về em. Xin liên lạc chúng tôi tại: Thanh Nhàn: bambusnh@yahoo.com và Đông Xuyến: dxuyen@hotmail.com

Cả tuần nay QN có vào web có chương trình phát thanh do em Phú và Ngọc Thảo cùng Bích Ly thực hiện, QN vẫn có cảm giác Phú đang đi công tác xa hay đang được cha mẹ thưởng cho thành tích ra trường và được nhận vào trường Y của UCLA , rồi Phú sẽ trở về với gia đình , với bạn bè và cộng đồng rồi lại tiếp tục những việc em đã dự tính làm. Cái đau xót có lẽ sẽ không bao giờ nguôi đi , đâu đó trong dòng đời đang trôi chảy , chúng ta chỉ tạm quên Phú đã đi rất xa để tìm lại chút yên bình vẫn còn có em trong cuộc đời , rồi khi nhớ , chúng ta lại vào chương trình phát thanh em đã phát , vui cùng tiếng cười và đắn đo cùng những trăn trở em đã có để xoa dịu cái đau xót mình đang có. Phú ơi, em chưa đi xa , ít nhất là tự tận đáy lòng của chị.

Ngày nào tôi cũng vào site tưởng niệm Phú . Nhìn em cười , nghe em nói và vui vẻ với bạn bè , tôi càng thấy xót xa trong nuối tiếc em không còn trong cuộc đời bận rộn này nữa . Sáng nay thức dậy , hình ảnh em và những tiếng nhạc lồng trong slideshow về em như quay lại trong trí tôi thật rõ , tôi cảm thấy buồn lắm, cái buồn đến độ muốn nắm bắt thời gian và bắt nó quay về cái khoảnh khắc em Phú còn trên đời , bắt nó đứng đó , đừng mang Phú đi , Phú không còn là của riêng gia đình , Phú là của tất cả bạn bè , đồng đội và đơn giản hơn Phú còn là của những người xa lạ như tôi , vô tình biết em, quý em , mến em, muốn có lại em như muốn có lại một niềm tin trong cuộc đời để mỗi sáng thức dậy tôi còn có cái gì đó để vịn vào mà sống .

Kho^ng hie^?u sao chi. tha^'y nho*' em tu*`ng nga`y Phu' o*i , mo^~i nga`y chi. va`o dda^y tha(m em , tha^'y em full of life , chi. va^~n muo^'n kho^ng tin em dda~ ddi xa , chi. tha^'y buo^`n la('m . Không hiểu sao tôi lại thấy gần đứa em trai này lắm , cái cười , cái chau mày và cái suy tư của nó thật con người trong từng nét tôi có thể nhớ lại được rất rõ trong hình . Nó người lớn trong chừng mực , nó trẻ con đến ngây thơ trong sáng và nó mạnh mẽ đến nỗi dù lớn hơn em nhưng tôi rất tin nếu biết em trước , có gọi em và bảo , Phú à , chị đang buồn quá , nói gì cho bà chị em hết buồn coi , thì Phú nó sẽ cười ha hả và bảo " chị tham gia các hoạt động với tụi em nè ... " . Trong tâm tưởng không biết em là ai nhưng tôi lại cảm thấy gần em tới mức đó , một sự liên kết gần gũi chính tôi cũng không ngờ .

You're flying without wings Some find it sharing ev'ry morning Some, in their solitary lives You find it in the works of others A simple line can make you laugh or cry You find it in the deepest friendships The kind you cherish all your life And, when you know how much that means You've found that special thing You're flying without wings So, impossible as it may seem You've got to fight for every dream 'Cause who's to know Which one you let go Would have made you complete? Well, for me, it's waking up beside you To watch the sun rise on your face To know that I can say I love you At any given time or place It's little things that only I know Those are the things that make you mine And it's li

Nguyễn Ngọc Phú - my friend, remember what you told me on a drive for DH3 from San Diego 2003 from Orange County -"Chuyện nhỏ trên con đường nhân bản". First time you said it, I laughed but it was so soothing to hear that from you. Right now, I wish you can say that again; to me, to our friends and to the world. I am sitting here humming those songs that you and I sang to top of our lungs during our drive. “Bài Ca Tuổi Trẻ”, “Trái Tim Tự Do” , “Tuổi Trẻ Việtnam Ơi!” and I know you remember and I know you're here with us. You came out from no-where and in a short time, became everywhere, touching each passing life. I cannot say more but you are an angel of pure love and compassion for humanity sent down to give us a brief pleasure of your life. Phu Heo, my brother, I miss you dearly. I know you will continue with me on the path of humanity that we found during that ride. Rest in paradise my friend and watch over us.

It is hard to believe that you are not here with us anymore. You have touched many people around the world with your inspiration; you have changed many lives. Your life may have been short but it was very meaningful. I know you were truly genuine and wanted the best for everyone. Everyone misses you deeply. There will always be a special place for you in my heart.

Vô cùng thương tiếc cho một người đã sống hết lòng vì người khác. Sự có mặt của Phú ở cõi đời này như trách nhiệm của một Thiên sứ thánh thiện, nay nhiệm vụ của Thiên sứ coi như đã hòan tất thì mong Phú ra đi trong sự thanh thản...

There are things that have not changed in the world ever year someone worth the honor and respect die. You left behind a tale of a hero that once stood so strong that has moved the hearts of the Vietnamese community. A heart of gold, a smile of kindness, a laughter of a dork.

i am going to miss you phu. i still remember the day you said hi to me and introduce me to may anh chi. You always thought me to keep on going and never give up. like you said " be a torch". i'll always remember you as my big brother.

Phu oi! Con duong nhan ban cho Vietnam ma Phu da chon tu day se thieu di mot nguoi tai gioi nhu Phu. Tiec thuong cho su ra di qua dot ngot cua Phu. I miss you so much! The World Youth Conference, the Protests, The Black April... I will always treasure those valuable moments. You dedicated your life for the road to humanity and we all here to dedicate our love for you, beloved brother. You are the "chuyen lon tren con duong nhan ban".

You descended from heaven and became our earth angel... You took your place in all our hearts and then God decided it was your time to go back home. In doing that... you are missed for leaving us... you're home now, but you became our home and it is hard... but now we must remember angels have work to do and they serve their purposes to the fullest, like you have here on earth and now from the heavens. We love you immensely so as you have loved us, we are shouting it to the skies in our many ways.. with hope in our hearts that you would know... and you do, the angel you are from above, the angel you were amongst us on earth.- By me :]

Anh phu, i love YOUUUU sooo much. Thank you so much for everything. Thank you for being such a good friend and an awesome LEADER. Although...u are not here right now, but YOU WILLLLL always in my heart and soul. ANH PHU I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH

I will never forget your inspiring words, "Be a torch." A Simple statement, but greater than a thousand senseless words. Your presence will be dearly missed and your life will be remembered.

Whenever I think thet you are gone I feel like I need to cry.The reason I feel that I need to cry is because I 've never been through an experience when you had talk to someone before they past away.It's scary and tragic to go through this experience but that's how life is and you can't do anything about it ,except give your blessings.Phu you were a good person,and I wish you didn't go away.It will take time to learn how to get over this.I will miss you Phu.We all love you!!

I can't believe you're gone,it's so hard to know that you're really gone.I remember the first time I saw you,my friend introduced me to you,I saw you laughing and smiling.You were so happy.You went away too soon,you were to young.Tell us about the wonderful things in heaven!A lot of people will miss you.Bye Phu.

Xin anh linh thiêng giúp cho những ai đang tiếp nối nguyện vọng của anh cho một ngày gần đây Nước Việt Nam của chúng ta tươi sáng hơn anh nhé. Kính anh

Although we have never talked or met but you will always be remembered because you have done so much for the community as well as for your fellows students. May you rest in peace and is safe with God.

You were like a big brother to me even though you didn't talk to people from my group alot. I would always see you with a smile no matter what. I always see you cheering up others and you would never show your sad emotions or anything. You are a great role model. I hope to see you again...Take care Anh Phu...I'll be praying for you each day...

You will be missed dearly by everyone.

Although I didn't know you that long, I hope I can still speak for you. You were a person with a far-off dream of making the world a better place; a person with the hope and determination to make your it come true. And most importantly, someone who realized that his work... his dream starts with one person. Your dedication, your compassion, your understanding towards your friends, family, and community... it will be remembered through our thoughts and acts.

a poem for a dear frend - i saw u buried away in the dirt today ....i tried holding my emotions in but there's no possible way...u left behind nothing but wondrous memories: ur warm smile, ur kind laughter and ur passion for harmony...forever u shall live among us eternally..may ur spirit guide us thru the next century - - Pac 6/17/2005

Your dedications, accomplishments and Smile will never be forgotten...rest in peace man...

Phú ơi , trong lúc mà anh em khắp nơi còn đang nỗ lực chuẩn bị cho DH4- Sydney thì Phú lại rời xa chúng tôi ,buồn thương xen lẫn cả tức giận , nhưng Phú cứ yên tâm yên nghỉ nhé , chúng tôi sẽ tiếp tục vững bước TRÊN CON ĐƯỜNG NHÂN BẢN mà anh em mình đã từng đồng hành , ngủ yên Phú nhé .

I don't know you and never met you but I have read alot f good things about you. I'm not good at writing these speechs so.. I just wanted to say I hope you reat in peace. Thank you for everything you have done for this communinty.

i'm sure the technologies up in heaven are allowing you to read all of these beautiful messages from your friends and loved ones :) i'm not sure if i ever got the chance to meet you, but during the summer of 2003, my dad, chu' binh quoc huynh in oregon, had me go to the d-a.i ho^.i in san diego... i just thought you looked a little familiar. even though i didn't know you, i was able to trickle some tears of sadness when my dad showed our family the slide show that your friends made for you. my dad only speaks good of you and holds you in very high regards... it's too bad that you were so young. you made a difference in the vietnamese communities. sometimes the saying, "everything happens for a reason," seems very cliche, but in this instance, i think it is very fitting. your death has definitely made me realize that i should follow your footsteps and also try to make a difference. i'm going to seattle with my dad this weekened to protest against some guy named phan va^n kha?i - gotta read up on my info before i go :) i've never really been able to clearly understand the heart and passion that my dad puts into his work with the community and to fight against the communists - sometimes i even dread being dragged around everywhere. but, i'm actually looking forward to this weekend though, i think it will be a good experience for me. if your actions affect me, someone who lives in a completely different state and who has never met you, i for sure believe that you touched many lives of those around you. my prayers go out to your friends and family in hopes that in time they will be able to find comfort again. you are in good hands - enjoy heaven anh phu'!

Continuing from the last message, be proud of me, Anh, as I am proud of you. My band and I will always end our concerts with the song "Wherever You Will Go" [- The Calling] in your honor. Smile, Phu, and thanks for keeping me strong. I'll always remember you. Loving You Always, Con Heo Em

Phu oi. Once again I comment on this page. After attending your funeral, I was honored to be your brother's left hand... guiding the parade. I was honored to be able to see you before you left us. I hope you safe and resting in peace, and that you are smiling down on me as well as everyone else who loves you in this world. You'll always be in my heart. You always were, but now I'm guaranteeing that you'll NEVER leave. :) When we were doing the service back at temple after your funeral, I saw your graduation picture... I just started smiling. I mean, who couldn't? That goofy 1,000 watt smile always lifted me and everyone else up. :) You helped me through so much and I just want to thank you for coming into my life. Just think, buddy. Just a few more decades and we'll be with each other again. It's worth the wait. =) Until that day we embrace each other again, I love you Anh. Yours always, Your Little Sissy I <3 you Phu!

Phu, And dep trai. How are you doing up there? I'm still cannot believe that you're really gone. You're a sweetest, smartest, and most adorable guy I have met. Thank you so much for being my friend, to allow me to learn so many great things from you. You are so magnificent. I never met anybody who have the heart of gold like you. I will alway and always miss our conversation, because everytime I talked to you I learned something new. Thank you for sharing a small part of your life with me and allowed me to do the same. I will alway miss you.

It's so sad. Farewell

Even though it's seemed short but your life was a life worth living and all of us should and will live on with you as our inspiration!!! Our prayers are with you and your family always! Rest in Peace and Love!

Someone falls to pieces. Someone kills the pain. Someone gets excited. Another lays a dozen roses on a grave. Someone finds salvation in everyone. And another only fame. Someone tries to hide themself down inside their selfish brain. Someone swears his true love until the end of time. Another runs away Separate or united? Healthy or insane? But to be yourself is all that you can do.

Phu, ... we had the coolest vsa shirts that year. god bless

Phu, I didn't know you that well, but I was deeply saddened by your passing. You were just too young and had so much left to live for. From our brief encounters, I knew you were a great individual who set a fine example for other young people to follow. If only we had more people as dedicated as you were.

It still hasn't hit me that you're really gone. Although I haven't seen you in a while, but just knowing that I will never see you again is just surreal. I still need you to hook me up with Oakley sunglasses! :) Now who's gonna do that for me? You were one of the most carefree, outgoing people I've ever met and I feel blessed to have known a great person like you. Wherever you are now, I know you'll always be loved. Rest in peace, Phuey.

Phu: I want to say so many things to you, but even now, I am at a loss to find the right words. To describe the depth of emotions I am feeling right now is impossible. You will always be in my heart. Your life and passing has reminded me why we are here -- to live life to its fullest, with the least amount of regrets, at full speed, with enthusiasm and an unwavering belief and faith in the goodness of mankind. Thank you for leaving such a deep imprint and when we meet again, I promise we'll do lunch...

Dear Phu. Thank you for everything - for the person that you were and the person that people have become because of you. Your leadership, love and passion for humanity have lid up a powerful flame in all of us. The flame will go on stronger than ever because of you and what you stand for. We love you and will miss you dearly. Thank you for being such an incredible person. May your soul rest in peace and your spirit continue to fly high.

hi Anh Phu... hmm.. we all saw you again today. We also did a dai than ai for the last time with you. :'[ I remember when you would actually be there at chua and do it with us on Sundays... Everyone is going to miss you so much.. I think you've really changed my life. Somehow I've gotten alot more courage in myself that I will follow in your footsteps.. good bye Anh Phu... P.S. Amy and I went into your room the other day with Anh Dang. heheh I love all of your little con heos. :] They're really cute.. just like you! bye..

It was good seeing your face today again. Still dep trai, even inside of the casket. Anh Phu, I will hold true to my vows. Will you please guide me along the way and help me continue where you left off. A part of you will always be inside of me to remind me to hold my anger and let out a smile when I am angered... and that indeed, the little issues we face daily are only small things in the face of humanity. "Chuyen nho tren con duong nhan ban". Please guide me along the way. You can finally rest in peace because the duties you've done will be taken care of by the future Vietnamese generations. No more muddy feet at Hoi Chos, no more staying up late stressing over UVSA events... it'll all be taken care of. Much love Anh Phu Heo dep trai.

Phu, you are one of a kind. I am blessed to have known someone as smart, ambitious and optimistic as you. Most of the memories I have of you are from the tennis courts at Valley, but they are great memories. I wish you and your family the best...take care.

...Phu, now you can have all the Boba you want...buddha blesses you.

the day someone told me that you suddenly left us all, I was speechless. I couldn't believe it. a great guy like you can't leave us like this!! you've done soo much and yet you're gone now.. life is so not fair but it's life... I've known you for so long.. you even saw me grew up!! now I gotta see you leave.. I still don't know what to say.. still can't believe you're gone.. life is too short and when it strikes nothing can stop it... *sigh* we all miss you Anh Phu!! we all love you and miss your present.. rest in peace my brother

Phu, I'm saddened to not have known you personally. The news of you passing away moved across America and the world so incredibly fast. It would have been a huge honor to have known such a moving, important member of Tong Hoi Sinh Vien. I'm glad I have friends who did know you well, and that your legacy will live on forever. Your loss is deep felt in all our hearts, and we, Tong Hoi Sinh Vien of Georgia will make sure your loss will only strengthen our need to fulfill your goals and dreams.

i'm not your friend but just reading the remarks of everyone makes me feel as if i have missed out on knowing someone so grand. it's always heart breaking to hear that someone vietnamese has passed away especially when you're still so young. you've in short time have been able to accomplish things that people can only imagine doing in a lifetime. your ambition and accomplishments i think now have made people come to realize that there is something that they can do, at the very least, in their community. reading about your achievements makes me very jealous that you couldn't touch more lives. i hope where ever it is that you are, that you are at peace. that you still strive for the vietnamese communities to be together. thank you for everything that you have done. my prayers are with your family. with sincere apologies of your loss, he will not be forgotten.

Now you can finally have that vacation you wanted! God bless you....you will be missed!

Dame homie. remember when i took you home in my sisters mercedes S-Class and you were like "Wow! This car is so nice, Danh." anyhow. I remember the first time i meet you. I was trying out for basketball and you were some little freshmen that was trying out for the team. You had saggy tits back then. I mean, you were just a kid. A freshmen. So I picked on you. Calling you Phussy. But I guess I was just doing that because I truly saw you as a little brother and you acted as if I was a big brother to you. For that, I will forever be thankful and will truly miss you. You are still here. Rest In Peace Phu. Danh Do

- Alô! Phú ơi, việc anh em giao hôm qua, Phú có làm kịp không? Có cần phụ không? - Không sao đâu cô Nhàn. "Chuyện nhỏ trên Con Đường Nhân Bản mà"! Vậy đó! Bằng tinh thần dấn thân, mọi chướng ngại trên con đường xây dựng một nền Nhân Bản cho quê hương Việt Nam đều trở thành “chuyện nhỏ” đối với em. Có lẽ vì cuộc đời em ngắn ngủi nên em đã sống thật trọn vẹn và đầy ý nghĩa cho từng giây phút trên cõi đời này. Bằng một “tâm hồn Việt Nam sáng ngời” em đã là một ngọn đuốc soi đường cho thế hệ trẻ tiến tới, đối với bậc cha anh, sự dấn thân của em luôn là một nhắc nhở cần thiết về bổn phận của chúng tôi đối với đất nước. Phú ơi, nay em đã an nghỉ, ngọn đuốc càng trở nên rạng rỡ, sự nhắc nhở càng trở nên mãnh liệt trong lòng người Việt khắp nơi. Em đã như một thiên thần ghé qua cõi tạm này để làm tròn một sứ mệnh rồi đi. Sứ mệnh đó là nhắc nhở người Việt chúng ta hãy dấn thân hơn nữa, hãy cùng chia sẻ trách nhiệm để canh tân đất nước Việt Nam của chúng ta. Phú ơi, anh em hứa sẽ không phụ lòng em. Hãy an nghỉ đi nhé, nguyện cầu cho em được sớm về nước Phật. Cho tôi tặng em bài hát mà em thích nhất: http://www.lenduong.net/article.php3?id_article=13658 Thương em thật nhiều. Thanh Nhàn

Dearest Phu, every time when I was around you whether it be GDPT or CSUF, you always had that contagious smile. You've impacted many of us with that optimistic personality of yours, and I'm truly grateful and proud of you for the deeds that you have done; you are definitely an inspiration to many of us. You're truly an amazing person who has touched my heart. Thank you for everything, and I will totally miss you.

thanks for being the most truest and kindest friend to us when we were at Valley. when things were rough, you were always there to give us a good laugh...and when i (jenn) felt like kicking ass you were there to rally with me on the tennis courts...thanks for everything, PHUey. May GOD bless your soul and rest in peace. You will always be in our hearts.

omg, anh phu was the most pure hearted person i know, he is always trying to make other's life better. he is a person with big dreams and goals, and before he started this new journey, he was able to accomplish some of them. anh phu is always smiling, trying to make others have a better day. i will always remember him because no matter how bad his day has been, there will always be that 110 watt smile on his face. anh phu will always be ANH PHU HEO and ANH PHU DEP TRAI to all of us at temple. now, every sunday will never be the same without him, i will very much miss you in our debate sessions. when he was alive, and phu was a very close friend and a dear brother to many. he was a very close friend and loving brother to me. EVEN THOUGH HE HAS DIED, HIS SPIRIT AND SOUL WILL ALWAYS LIVE WITH US! TO ME, HE WILL NEVER DIE BECAUSE A PERSON LIKE THAT CAN NEVER DIE FOR REAL!!!

ANH PHU!!! gosh.. its not FAIR how you just left like that. Life and Death is too complicated to understand sometimes.... we are going to miss you even more now at temple. : ( good bye Anh... we <3 you...

Me and you didn't get along so well. But we've known each other for awhile and I've seen you do great things with your life. I wish you could have been around to do more. But you can't, regardless though, you have made your mark on this world and left some memories for me to hold on to. You are a prime example of what this generation of vietnamese-americans need to accomplish to keep our culture alive and make our community one of togetherness and passion. God Bless you for being who you were and just having such an effect on so many lives. I will be praying for your family and those close to you. Good bye dear friend.....

In my memories you will live on.

Phu, there is so much I want to say but to sum it all up, you are a great and honorable person. I've never known anyone who's done so much to change or improve bad things into good. I'm am so happy to have came across you and I can't wait until our next adventure. Missing you...

Phu, Just a couple of weeks ago you were trying to convince me of the benefits of sleeping in class. Only you could sleep in class and still get on the Dean's List. I will always remember you as a determined, strong individual who never let the big job ahead of you (you know, changing the world) get you down. How you found the time to accomplish all that you did, I'll never know...you will be missed.

Thank you for your great contributions to Vietnam, to our community and for everything you have done for your family and friends... Thank you for your smiles and your caring spirit... Rest in peace little bro.

Phu, You were a remarkable young man and you had a very bright future ahead of you! I am so sorry you were taken from your family and friends so early in life. I am glad I had the chance to meet you and your memories will live long in many for a life time. My your soul rest in peace. God Bless you & your family.

Phu, I can't believe you're gone. You were so young, so vibrant. The first thing I remember about you is your magnetic smile. I only got to speak with you a few times during our McNair meetings, but I always enjoyed laughing and joking with you. I remember speaking with you a few weeks ago and hearing about your disapointment in not getting in to medical school. But then you were right back on the phone calling people, trying to find a way to still achieve your dreams, still so positive, still so motivated. That made an impression on me. My heart goes out to your family. Rest in peace.

Em đã sống thật dài trong cuộc đời ngắn ngủi. Sống như em thương tiếc có hơi thừa ? Vô cùng thương tiếc.

Phu Heo--words cannot describe the pain that I am going through as I am trying to cope with your sudden death. I spent the entire weekend with you in SoCal two days before you passed away. We went to an all day meeting on Saturday, and on Sunday you accompanied me on a road trip down south, and then suddenly just a few days afterwards, you were taken away from us. Phu Heo, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for always being there for me. You have helped me so much in the last months to deal with my hardship, and I am honored being able to be there for you through your hardship as well. Your loss has sent shockwaves throughout the entire international Vietnamese community and in this past week, I have received tons of emails from all over the world. Yet, even after you have passed away, you continue to make us a stronger community, as we have spent more times with each other as a circle of friends this past week than I ever had this entire year. Phu Heo, even though I am grieving and trying to deal with the pain, I am happy and honored to have known you, to have worked with you on so many projects for a better Vietnam. You have touched so many people with your happy and altruistic character, and my heart aches knowing that you cannot be with us as we continue on our road to humanity. You always said "Chuyện nhỏ trên con đường nhân bản". Phu, you ARE that road to humanity. Thank you for being my friend, thank you for San Diego, for DH3, for the Shaolin Brothers video, for being locked out on the roof during DH3, for misspelling Liên Lạc on national TV, for the endless DaVinci Code discussions, for Tet, for Radio TNSV that gave me so much laughter in depressing Seattle, for taking care of our community, for your love of a country, for being a role model to us all. Sydney will not be the same without you this year, but you will always be with us, wherever our fight for a better Vietnam takes us. You have paved the road for us, and we all miss you greatly.

Phú em, tuy chưa được hân hạnh gặp Phú nhưng anh nghe rất nhiều tiếng tốt của Phú, anh vô cùng cảm mến người thanh niên có tâm hồn cao thượng và việc làm vị tha như Phú. Cầu chúc hương linh Phú được thảnh thơi, siêu độ. Vĩnh biệt !!!

Nghe tin muộn về sự ra đi của Phú, tôi không khỏi bàng hoàng. Gặp ở Đại Hội III và một vài lần sau đó, nhưng Phú "Heo" để lại cho tôi ấn tượng tốt về các bạn SV ở Nam Cali. Nghĩ rằng sẽ gặp lại ở Đại Hội IV ở Sydney, nhưng ai ngờ ...Bạn! Người bạn chúng ta vừa nằm xuống, hãy biến sự mất mát ấy thành nghị lực và niềm tin để chúng ta tiếp tục cuộc hành trình. Xin gởi lời phân ưu đến gia đình Phú, xin các bạn trong Tổng Hội thắp dùm một nén nhang để thương tiếc và tiễn biệt một "Tâm hồn Việt Nam sáng ngời" này.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nguyễn Ngọc Phú: Một tấm gương sáng ngời cho nhữn thế hệ trẻ gốc Việt noi theo.Ngọc Phú luôn luôn đi tiên phong trên con đường Nhân Bản, hướng về cội nguồn quê cha đất tổ,

Phu... although we met once or twice... you and I found that we have had the same aspirations - we both are science majors... Asian... and wanted to get our Masters in Public Health. For the time that we have talked... thank you.

anh phu, u were Always makin lessons fun for us and makin us laugh at temple. i recall seein u for the last time durin buddha's bday, but i didn no tat that was the last time id c you. u looked so happy and now a horrible faith has takin its toll, on the wrong person. ull always be remembered by us all anh phu. Rest in peace...

u were a great tutor. i havent seen u for a year. when i found out the news i was in such a shock that not even words can describe.i'd never think i'd see u this way. i remeber when we went to camp i gave u some of my candy but u didnt exept it, and on the bus u stuffed paper in my nose. man we all misss u down here southern California

Tôi thường hay đọc tin tức trên website Vietbao.com và tình cờ biết được tin em Nguyễn Ngọc Phú vừa mới qua đời. Mặc dầu tôi ở nơi xa và chỉ có sinh hoạt với Phú một lần trong kỳ Đại Hội Sinh Viên Việt Nam Thế Giới Kỳ III ở miền Nam California nhưng tôi nhớ rất rõ về Phú. Phú là người phụ trách in ấn ID Card cho tham dự viên và tôi có dịp nói chuyện đôi lần. Khi tôi cần viết email Phú đã sẵn sàng cho tôi sử dụng máy tính của Phú. Nhìn vào hình ảnh logo của Đại hội mà Phú để trên Desktop background tôi nói với Phú logo đẹp lắm và được biết Phú là người design ra nó. Hình ảnh người sinh viên trẻ tuổi đầy nhiệt huyết luôn sẵn sàng dấn thân trong các sinh hoạt cộng đồng với tất cả tấm lòng và sự hy sinh âm thầm là niềm tự hào của tất cả chúng ta. Đó chính là Nguyễn Ngọc Phú mà ngày hôm nay đã vĩnh viễn ra đi, nhưng sẽ ở lại trong lòng chúng ta mãi mãi.

Phu, I remember the days that you and I walk the malls to find an outfit for me and for yourself for an occasion but now you're gone. I know that you are in a better place now but if you were still here with us all that you befriend and that you have encourage to strive for the best and told us to never let your gaurd down to strive for the best of the best. You were an inspiration to us all. Your warm smile everytime we pass by each other told me that you are an inspiration to me and to us all that will never be forgotten. You are an awesome person and that I am glad to have gotten to know you. You will be missed.

you had a golden heart; a warm bright smile and a great future was ahead of you. I wish I could've seen you before you left this world..and just talk to you and give you the biggest hug for the last time. you passed away so unexpectedly, so soon. you worked so hard to get to where you were, you were only one step closer to your dreams. I loved you for who you are; helping others always. A kind heart. I still can't get over the fact that your gone. It was just only yesterday that we shared many laughters, you making me & joanna pick up trash, haha. and throwing us in the damn trashcan ! those were fun, good memories that we'll never forget. You'll always be in our hearts, you're in a good place watching down on us. Thanks for everything you've done. Rest In Peace. <3TITO.

Tạm biệt Phú... Mong anh sớm được an nghỉ nơi cõi Phật. Mọi người sẽ thương nhớ anh mãi mãi...Đan Tâm xin thành thật chia buồn cùng với gia đình của Phú.

RIP, my parents told me last night about what you've done for the community and for the Vietnamese commnunity in general. I admire you, cause yo've already taken action in what you believe in...yet I just sit and dream and think about it...

I come to work each day still hoping to see your face and that great smile. I cannot believe you have passed on. You were too young, too ready to experience what this world has to offer. You came by my office to say goodbye last Tuesday. I was on the phone and simply waved rather than taking the time to say goodbye properly. I could have never imagined that I was saying goodbye forever. You are one of those people whose image sticks with you, sticks in your mind. I cannot get the image of you waving goodbye to me out of my mind. I have kissed and hugged my wife and children with more passion and vigor this past week while thinking of you. You never know when that will be your last moment together. I know you are in a better place and smiling at the notion. You will be missed.

My Dearest Phu, I will so miss your beautiful smile and wave as you entered or left any room. I will miss our talks on life, love, philosophy and religion. You were so wise. The only joy I have is knowing that on your last day with us, your heart was full of pride because of the Vietnamese-american Flag Resolution you had written.Till we meet again my friend....

We would like to express our sincerest condolensces to UVSA and family regarding the lost of Nguyen Ngoc Phu, external Vice President. We did not get to meet him, but we are sure that he has done much for the Vietnamese American community in trying to uplift our people selflessly. We feel sorrow for the tragic lost of some one who has done so much for others. We hope that his spirit lives on and pray that he may rest in peace

Phú Heo thân mến, nghe tin Phú qua đời đã làm cho Lân quá bất ngờ, mà đến ngày hôm nay một phần trong lòng Lân vẫn chưa tin. Tuy những giây phút mình đã có với nhau không có nhiều, qua những giờ làm việc với nhau, cái tình bạn bè, sự thương quý, và sự kính trọng nhau đã không kém. Lân còn nhớ hai đứa mình cứ thường chọc nhau, Phú gọi Lân là "ông cụ non" còn Lân cứ chọc Phú là lớn rồi mà vẫn thích Heo "như một con nít vậy đó..." Dù vậy, hai đứa mình là cùng một lứa tuổi, cùng một lý tưởng, cùng một mục đích, và đã cùng nhau chọn một con đường để đi. Con đường này đi chưa xong mà ngày nay Phú đã phải nằm xuống, Lân hứa với Phú là sẽ tiếp tục đi với các bạn đồng tâm của mình cho đến cuối đường, và sẽ làm việc trong tinh thần say mê và yêu đời mà Phú đã có trong mọi công việc Phú làm. Nhớ Phú lắm, Phú ơi...

Nguyễn Ngọc Phú Em nằm xuống Nhưng em sống mãi Trong lòng người Trong yêu dấu quê hương Tình thần em Sáng tỏ muôn phương là ngọn đuốc So đường thế hệ. Nguyễn Ngọc Phú Em ngũ yên em nhé "Chuyện nhỏ trên con đường nhân bản" Câu em nói hôm nào Nay là lời nhắ nhỡ Tuổi Trẻ Việt Nam Trên con đường phụng sự quê hương. Thương tiếc, Việt Khanh 13/6/05

Phu it’s been great knowing you through high school and I always been looking up to you because you’re so tall and dark (just kidding). I still remember for the first time you started to play tennis and all the greatest memory we had as a teammate. Now you’re gone and I’m sure to miss you and I hope for you to find a better place. Peace Out Phuey..

Không ngờ lần trao đổi qua phone với em chiều hôm định mạng ấy lại là lần chót. Em ra đi nhưng ngọn lửa nhân bản trong tim em, nhất là đối với cộng đồng tỵ nạn CS và dân tộc mình, vẫn sống mãi.

Phu, you were a part of so much good. There are few people who leave the kind of impressions you left. It was witnessed it in your work, your passions, your family, and in your relationships. The world has lost one of its greats while the heavens have gained one. Miss you.

Phu-y, we can't believe you were taken from us so young. it's too bad we didn't have more memories with you. we will always remember that poem you made us memorize. Temple won't be the same without your visits.

we weren't all that close but we were close enough to say we were friends . i miss the days when we use to play bball at the church . it was fun

I remember it was like yesterday when I talked you on what you were planning to do after graduating from Cal State Fullerton University (going to medical school and becoming a doctor). When I hear about your death, I feel life is like sand in the ocean. On normal days you were a busy guy: school, temple, community service and etc; now I understand why you were icky on certain days. Life is stressful when you’re in college but you’ll have to find time to relax to maintain your health. I wish you’ll be in a better place than this world of pain and suffering that most of us are in. Thank you for being here with us for 21 years. It was nice meeting you (thanks for the ride you gave me home from temple)

I hope you are more happy in the place you are at and that you will be missed by all...

Very dear "Phu Dep Trai": It is just unbeleivable that you are gone forever! The very night you left this world, You came to say good bye to me in my dream: this is also unbeleivable to me and to Chu Phuc. In my dream, I saw you collapsing in front of a house unkown to me, but you then stood up and said good bye to me. You reminded me that I still owe you a Mexican food treat at the Mexican restaurant by the beach. From now on, you will never come to my office to buy insurance for the special events held by the UVSA; we will never see you smiling and tease us by calling yourself "Phu Dep Trai cua co chu day." But be sure you will be remembered and loved forever. Thank you for being a good young man, loving your family, working hard to build a brilliant future for yourself, but above all, loving Vietnam, your country, and this community, accepting all sacrifices to make this world a better place to live. You have lit up your candle in this Vietnamese community; Hopefully all other young Vietnamese friends will follow your steps and light up their candles so that the whole world will be filled of light and hope, peace and happiness. Co chu Jennifer & Tran Quang Phuc. June 2005

Dearest Phu, I miss you. I have known you for about ten years or more. We first met at temple, where every week seems more exciting and so to speak cool by just hanging out and going to grab food thats not made out of tofu. What I will remember most about you is our camping trips and how you used to smile all the time. You were everywhere doing everything, but now, all the memories that your love ones shared with you will remain close to their hearts and will utmost mean everything to them, including me. I know that Buddha will take very good care of you because above everything, you were a great person inside and out. -Love always, Tiffani Diep

Dear Phu! Eventhough I haven't met you and don't know you very well, I was still stunned of the news! You touched so many people around you, especially Vietnamese community. You are a great gift to the world. May you rest in peace

Phu Heo...I never understood why everyone called you that, but the girls and I gave you "goatee" as a nickname. (you had such a distinct look with your goatee back then!) I am blessed to have met you at DH3. You were our group leader (Na Trang) at camp and I have never been as impressed with anybody else as I was with you. You were so mature and accomplished...not to mention funny. The memory of you spelling out your name with your bottom will always leave me with a smile. Until we meet again...

Although I never personally knew you, Phu, but everything that I've heard about you is enough for me to understand why so many look up to you. You are a true idol for every Vietnamese, young and old. You have worked so hard to acheive what you believe in. May your passing bring even more hope and strength to complete what you have not been able to. You will always be remembered and your legacy will live on in every heart that you have touched. Rest in peace...Buddha Bless...

Việt Nam yếu mến. Cám ơn phú.

Phu oi... I'm still in DENIAL. I just can't believe you're...gone. I can still FEEL your presence with me as I type this. You helped me through so much... you were like my brother. Even though I flipped when I found out, I know that one day, we'll see each other again on the other side. Just remember to save me a seat in the pig pen. That way, we can play with ducks and pigs all day... just like you always wanted. :) I'll always miss you, Anh Phu. You'll always be in that special place in the center of my heart. I'll never let go of you. And like everyone else here, I love you. So much. "Some people come and quickly go. Some come into our lives and leave footprints in our hearts forever."

Anh Phu... I'm still in DENIAL that you're... gone. I just can't believe it. All the good times.. I can still FEEL your presence around me. I can just picture you smiling and laughing with happiness. We'll all miss you. You helped me through a lot of pain and I'm so glad I came to temple. I'm so glad I met you. You were like a brother to me. I'll never let go of your memory. I know I'll see you again one day soon on the other side. Till then, keep an open space in the pig pen for me! :) You and me will spend the rest of our days playing with ducks and pigs... haha. You'll always be in the special place in the center of my heart, Anh Phu. Just like everyone else, I love you. "Some people come and go away quickly. Others stay and leave footprints in our hearts."

Hey Phu, You did well homie. Now, I wish you a safe journey across the river of life. We'll meet again one day on the other side.

I am very impressed about all your works. You left this world very unexpected with all unsolved problems and missions. It is hard to replace the special one like you. We really need you on the long run to liberate and rebuild the new Vietnam as we discussed before. Remember last time, we discussed how impact of US to Vietnam interm of social-economy as well as Asia area. "Con duong nhan ban?" from Vo Dai Ton very is very touchable and make all the young students to speak up. Theoritically, it is only the philosophy statement. Philosophy isn't going to work until you applied it. Remember, we said we will apply this quote once we are in vietnam. Remember we planned to have couple meetings in Vietnam. Remember, i planned to have you meet with couple vietnam government official to talk to them, to make them understand all the similarity and differently between Hanoi and California. Not much young people like to come back to Vietnam and talk to the VN government here. I was hoping that you can go back to Vietnam with couple young students. "Nguoi nao chong cong thi nguoi do phai ve vietnam va nhin thay dat nuoc vietnam va hieu ro con nguoi vietnam" If you are anti-communist, you have to go back to vietnam, stay with communist, be friend with them, and make them change. Remember, we discussed that. I didn't see any young one go back here with warm, and good heart as you. All they did was going to massage place, hang out with pretty girl, but once they are in Quan cam (Orange County), they said they are anti-commnunist!!!! I wish you can make your promise to have all the young people go back here.... Really missed you.... Giao Su Tien Si, Bac si y khoa-Toan Nguyen.

I really admired of what you did for people around you. More than anything else, thank you for your once presence in this world which is much better to have you but much memorable after you leave. May God save you! May this & the next generation always look up to your footprints. Rest in peace Phu, my vietnamese brother. Friends & I will finish what you have not done........ so much...

Phu, I'm so glad that I met you and became friends...you were very caring, intelligent, had so much chrisma, very passionate about the Vietmanese community and would lend a hand to help anyone in need of help...I'm very shocked because I just talk to you during graduation and now your not here but will always be in my heart...thanks for making this world better...you'll be miss...rest in peace...see you in your next life!

Phu I still cannot believe your gone. You were such a balanced person, proffessional yet goofy, nerdy but charasmatic, i count myself very fortunate to have met you. Thank you for giving me an ideal to strive for, and an example of how to be cheerful in difficult situations. i will always remeber your smile, and your passion that could move mountains. You will never be forgotten. "Good night, sweet prince, and may flights of angels, sing thee to thine rest." -Hamlet

You once asked my boyfriend and me to teach you a song at the UVSA house in Fountain Valley. We sat in Anh Hai's room and played the guitar while you sang. My boyfriend and I just flew to Japan from California a few days ago and I thought about you while we were in the sky so close to heaven and deep down inside, I sang a song for you. You're in our hearts.

I still won't believe it, that someone who has stood by me during our 4 years of undergraduate Biology is no longer with me. Phu, I still remember the day we met....hopeful and in search of ourselves we were on a journey to make our lives at CSUF incredible....indeed you did. I remember the day that we both sat in AICA....you nominated me to be the next chair. You saw something in me no one else did...you saw me as a leader in the making and gave me the chance to be a leader and inspire others as you have. I thank you for that moment where you told me that I would be a good leader and I can make a difference. Thank you for the laughter we shared in our classes together. Thank you for the walks and talks we had. Thank you for accepting me when I told you about myself. Thank you for the smiles and the constant "Heo" jokes you made. Thank you for seeing in me what others failed to see in me. Thank you for your trust to let me proofread your works....I won't find a little brother quite like you, you will always be in my heart. Even at graduation, you were making me laugh. Thank you. I love you and will always miss you. You have truly changed my life. I won't forget each moment and lesson I had with you. I'll see you again.

Phu... What in the world? .. I just saw you a couple days ago popping in and off line.. and didn't get to say hi since I was on the run.. and now this? All those talks we had about the community while sitting in the QUAD and all those years at Chua Hue Quang, where you were the little kid who kissed up then became one of the leaders.. then became a leader in the movements of youths in the Vietnamese Community and abroad to educate them about the roots of what was going on in Viet Nam, the opinions of their citizens who are here now.. and your undying loyalty and smiles depsite all those who gave you strife and didn't take your cause so seriously.. to listening to me when I needed someone to talk to, to always saying hi when you saw me around the way.. what in the world, love.. your heart, your soul.. you were such a one of a kind individual.. I don't know whether to be mad or .. how to even react. You've inspired me in your own way, and have done so much for so many people, Phu.. and you're only destined to do more in your next life. What you've done already will only carry on the legacy you have detered away from, momentarily. I love you, and will miss you.. always, mimi

Dear A. Phu! Eventhough I haven't met you and don't know you very well, I was still stunned of the news! You are such a great leader and a role model for the young generations to look up to. Rest in peace as your loved ones and friends around the world proud of having you in their life.

If everyone in this world had just even a little bit of phu in them, his spirit, charisma, dedication, loyalty, intelligence, it will be a much better place. We miss you phu, you were an extroadinary person. I am honored to have met you in this lifetime.

Even though I completely do not know you, from what other people have said and brought up, you are a good person and a nice amazing person...But I know that you are watching down upon all of the loved ones of yours and they're looking up to you...You're in a more secure, beautiful and happiER place now. Some of the loved ones are crying for you because of the loss...But they shouldn't be crying. Why? Because of all the great things that you have shown and gave to them. And alos, they shouldn't be crying sad tears, but happy ones. HE'S NOT GONE, HE'S STILL AROUND; AROUND IN YOUR HEARTS. You will ALWAYS be remembered, adored, & loved. BE STRONG FOR HIM YOU GUYS..

Thật tình cơ` gặp Phú vào đầu năm nay trong một đài phát thanh tại Hoa-Kỳ trong lúc tôi qua California tham dự Hội Nghị Hội Đồng Việt Nam Bảo Toàn Đất Tổ Kỳ 2. Hôm đó Phú là phóng viên phỏng vấn BS Nguyễn Trọng Việt. Tôi thật ngạc nhiên và khâm phục một thanh niên trẻ làm công việc như một phóng viên nhà nghề, nói năng lưu loát và tươi cười thân thiện. Khi nghe báo tin Ngọc Phú ở Cali qua đời, và xem hình tôi không ngờ lại là em. Phú mất đi đem lại niềm thương tiếc không những cho gia đình, bạn bè mà là sự mất mát cho cả Cộng Đồng chúng ta. Đất nước Việt Nam mất đi một người con yêu đã phục vụ cho Cộng Đồng và Tổ Quốc ngay từ lúc mới lớn. Tạm biệt Ngọc Phú, chúc em được yên nghỉ nơi cõi vĩnh hằng.

We have not met before but I have heard a lot of your work in the commumity. I really admire you and your vision. It is a big loss for the community. I hope that one young person is down, thousands more will stand up. We will pray for us in our prayers.

A handshake hello, a five minute conversation, one picture with you, and a wave goodbye at DH3, that was the extent of our relationship, yet, I will always remember you. You are the epitome of all that is good in this world, including your short existence. Even though you were skinny, you landed on earth with quite an impact. I know I can say this for all the people who have had the pleasure of knowing you and your work; you are a gem in a sea of people. Keep shining Phu!!! To Phu' Family: Themy xin chia buon.

Phu, I still can't believe you're gone. I remember all the good times we had at fullerton, working on culture nite scripts, attending VSA meetings and checking out girls :) I still remember playing basketball with you on memorial day. We talked more than we played, catching up on old times. Boy, we stunk it up that day. Never would I have expected you leaving us so soon. The world will never be the same. I'll miss you man and I'll see you again one day. Rest in peace, buddy!

It was a shock. Walk on Phu!

Heo oi. I don't need to repeat your accomplishments, your big heart, your good looks, and everything else that you were so great at. But I do need to say that you were not a "chuyện nhỏ trên con đường nhân bản." You were in fact a CHUYEN LON! =P get it? I hope you like the gift I got you and keep it safe until we see each other again (promise?). I saw your name on my phone list today, and didn't know how to react. I don't want to erase it, I guess because I am still hoping you're around. I haven't learned everything from you on how to be a better president/person. You haven't shared with me all your secrets. DH4 will be different without you...Tet will be different without you...Life will be different without you; it already is...I hope you're in a better place and you're welcome to spy on us during meetings and events. I have so much more to say, but you are probably bored by now, so 'til next time my friend-Thuong Va Nho Heo Nhieu Lam!

Ta.m Bie^.t Phu'. Mong ba.n an nghi~ no+i vi~nh ha(`ng.

...im speechless , may buddha bless your soul. Aaliyah - Miss You .. dedicated to you Phu.

Phu, thanks for being you. I appreciate the friendship you share with my sister Tammy, the kindness you've shown to my family, and the zest and energy you had for life. You are an amazing person. Although you have moved on to a better world, your spirit lives on in all that you have touched. I will always smile when I think of you.

Nguyễn Ngọc Phú: Một tấm gương sáng ngời cho những người bạn trẻ gốc Việt noi theo. Từ khi lớn khôn, Ngọc Phú luôn luôn đi tiên phong trên con đường Nhân Bản, hướng về cội nguồn quê cha đất tổ, sống trong dòng sinh mệnh của dân tộc Việt Nam. Ngọc Phú mất đi, sẽ có hàng hàng lớp lớp những người bạn đồng trang lứa tiếp tục nối chí anh đi trên con đường nhân bản mà Ngọc Phú đã vạch ra. Trong nỗi xót xa khôn cùng khi đọc những dòng tâm sự của Phương San Jose, tôi xin hoạ bài thơ của TS Trần Văn Lương về Nguyễn Ngọc Phú: Tình xuân vừa chớm đã xa rời. Bằng hữu đau lòng lắm Phú ơi! Đại chí đã vang lừng một kiếp, Phương danh sẽ chói rạng muôn đời. "Con đường nhân bản" còn lưu lại. "Đồ án canh tân" chẳng bỏ rơi. Thương bạn cùng nhau ta hẹn ước: "Phú cường đất Việt" có tên người. Nguyễn Đình Sài, Seattle 6/2005.

I was saddened to hear abour your loss. I know of you very briefly from the Vietnamese Youth Conference (DH3) 2 years ago, and your personality made me remember you. I know that many many people will be missing you. May you rest in peace, Phu.

May God Bless you and rest in peace.

Hi Phu! I remember you from junior high. I'm the girl with the squeaky, high voice! ^_^ We often did our history homework together. =) And after we got all our work done, we used to talk about romance and people we had crushes on! It's been almost a decade, but I still remember. You were the sweetest guy back then! When I ran into you again a few years ago at An-Hoa's house, I was completely astounded! You grew up to be such a handome, proactive, and AMAZING person. I can't tell you how incredibly proud I am of you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know you, and know that you'll be missed by many, many, many people.

I am shocked and so saddened of Phu's passing. This is for his family. I've known Phu since he came to me for advising as a young freshman student, so sure of himself and so enthusiastic for learning. He finally took a class with me this past semester as a senior, and also did a special project so he would have the necessary credits to graduate this May. I have so enjoyed knowing him and was confident that he would be accepted at a medical school, despite his despair about being denied entry to several schools these past few weeks. Phu was an outstanding student who worked hard and set high goals for himself. He truly enjoyed intellectual challenges and always would comment that an exam or assignment was good because he had to think. My last communication with him was on Monday, June 6th, when he sent me an email telling me how much he had enjoyed my class and that he finally had taken a class with me. He had also included a picture of himself and his Dad, saying that his Dad was proud of him because he had completed his degree in four years and was planning on furthering his education. Phu was dedicated to supporting the Vietnamese community and promoting its culture, something rare in many young people these days. He was so proud of the exhibit at the CSUF library that commemorates the 30th anniversary of the mass exodus from Saigon, and his role in helping to set up that exhibit. The world is much darker with the loss of a bright young man who was so passionate about all the right things. My heart aches for his family and for myself....

Phu Nguyen was one of the most generous and kind hearted person I've ever met. When I first came to Cal State Fullerton as a freshman, I was nervous and awkward of the new atmosphere. Phu Nguyen helped to changed all of that. I admired his perserverance and he inspired me to contribute to the community. I've never seen anybody like him. I miss him very much... I will always remember him.

Phu even though we've only met a few times but from those few times I have felt warmth and laughter from you. I know you are truly a wonderful person through the interactions you had with your friends and the community. You will always be remembered as a giving and a loving person. You will be missed. May you rest in peace!

Phu is a kind friend, he greeted me with open arms when I first met him. Even though we never saw each other that much, when we did, it was as if we never parted. I'm over in Vietnam, and am saddened by this news. I send my regards to his family. I never got to say congradulations to him for graduating, "You finally did it Phu, GOOD JOB!!"

I met Anh Phu at Bao nguoi Viet. Then I started to know him. He always had that smile on his face. I could always remember the time he took me to the Cheese Cake Factory in Irvine. He was an angel to us. Even though I don't see him much, I always remember him. Hes an angel to all of us. Also how busy he was everyday. The last time I got to see him was April 30, 2005. He helped so many people. Hes only been here for 2 years and hes done so much for the people around him. His first year was at Thanh Nien camp. I will pray for you every night. He only wanted to study hard to have a better future. He was afraid he was going to lose his family. But he went first. I think he pass away so quickly is because he wants to watch us and be there next to us. He was like a brother next to me. He cared for so many people. He achieved every goal. And he'll watch us from heaven. He will only rest in peace with his pigs. Goodbye Anh Phu. Nam Mo bon Su Tich Ca Mon Ni Phat. T'll we meet in heaven my brother. We will always remember you. You will always be in our hearts. Rest peacefully...oink oink

PHU...THIS COME SUCH AS A SHOCK TO ME...I COULDN'T ACCEPT IT..I WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT..I'LL MISS EVERYTHING...THOSE MEMORIES...THE LAUGHTER...THE ARGUEMENTS...THE SMALL TALK...I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY RIGHT NOW..I'LL MISS YOU AT TEMPLE AND YOUR ADORABLE SMILE..YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO CHEER PEOPLE UP WITH YOUR SMILE WHEN THEY ARE DOWN..I'LL REMEMBER THOSE DAYS AT TEMPLE, AT SUMMER CAMP, SEEING YOU HELP OUT AT THE TET FESTIVAL...GOSH YOU WERE SUCH A GREAT PERSON...I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AS A LOVEALBE, COCKY, PROUD, SWEET, ADORABLE, EASY TO TALK TO, HAPPY, KIND OF GUY!! YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR PIG BACK AND I GUESS YOU NEVER WILL..I MISS YOU!!!...YOU ASK ME FLOWERS FOR YOUR GRADUATION...I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO GET YOU FLOWERS FOR SUMIN ELSE..I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!! YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART!!

When the news striked me, I didn't want to believe it. I always knew you as one energetic, happy, enthusiastic, and forgiving person; how could this all come down to this? I didn't want to believe what my mom told me until I checked my email, and it was hurtful. I just talked to you last Friday, and I was planning to call you to hang out as we kind of planned--now, I'm left with nothing, but your number and the memories we've shared at temple. I will miss you; this shatters my heart. You will be missed by all of us: friends and family. Rest in Peace, my beloved friend.

Phú, Mặc dù chưa 1 chưa 1 lần gặp nhưng biê't em nhiều qua báo chí.Mến em,thương em mong 1 lần gặp gở...nhưng.....em đã đi rồi thôi chào em nhé. Tiếc thương vô cùng.

Anh Phu .. you were soo cool at temple ; u made us laugh everytime you were there . we are going to miss you soo much . rest in peace

Phu, I will miss your wonderful work and deep down you are still in our heart. Whereever you are may you rest in peace. MD

Phu, I'm so sorry that you are gone now, but I know you will be in the good hand of god. Just by reading everybody comment you had been a great friend to everybody and had done so much for our country. On the be half of our country, I would like to thank you for all the hard work you had done for us! Rest in peace con heo!!Don't forget me and please watch over us okay! We will always love you man! Good bye my man!

dont really know you but may your soul rest in peace. im a friend of a friend.

Anh Phu, you were a big role model to me. you were like my big brother always there to have something to teach me in life, i appreciate that deeply, but i still can't believe you're gone. we'll always love and miss you and forever you will be in our hearts & mind. <3

You'll always be in our thoughts and prayers, Phu. Goodbye for now...

Phú Heo Con! What can I say now? There's much to say to you but no more chance for that. For better and for worst, I forgive you for what ever ... and hope the same from you boy. We did many projects together and especially Tet2005. We called each other many times a day then but not after Tet. U R a hard worker and well loved by people around you. I got so many calls from friends, older community folks, the media, and even people at my work place (HP) about you. May you find peace and happiness from wherever you are now. I don't even know if you can read what I am writing but hope you can so keep on smiling Heo Con. Rest in peace và yên giất ngàn thu Phú.

Juliet Phan and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Nguyen Ngoc Phu. I recently lost a young family member and I completely empathize with all of you. Although I hardly knew Phu, I was not wrong about his enthusiastic character that his loving personality exuded. Rest in peace my brother.

Trên đời này quả thực luôn có chuyện "chữ tài chữ mệnh khéo là ghét nhau" (Nguyễn Du). Tuy không biết Phú nhưng sự ra đi đột ngột của một nhân tài trẻ cũng làm tôi man mán ngậm ngùi.

I've known you since 7th grade. After junior high, you just upped and disappeared. I've only had negative memories of you up until I saw you again during our sophomore year in college at the ICC basketball tournament. I remember not being good enough to play basketball on the popular court in junior high so I asked to play with your group of guys and you said "no" because it was your basketball. I remember you would always make fun of me because I was overweight. You always gave me a hard time in junior high. You'd always make fun and even help make me cry once. You even wrote "I hope I don't see you next year" in my yearbook when I asked you to write in it. Even when I saw you again at the ICC basketball tourney, you questioned whether I was a UCI student or not. BUT I had grown a lot during high school and it was water under the bridge. I cried when I heard that you had left us. Even though we didn't really get along, you still were a great person. Always doing your best to show people up. I mean, you worked hard at everything and made everything competition. You certainly were a cocky and proud guy. I admire for your confidence in everything that you did. You had such energy and passion for all things that you did. I look back in our old junior high yearbooks and saw how we had similar interests and the same friends. We played basketball together, you were in band and I was in orchestra, we were in national junior honor society together, and were heavily involved in VSA (even though from different schools). You were a short stump back in junior high and when I saw you again, I was astonished at how much you grew. I wish we had the opportunity to become friends instead of competing against each other so much. I was always jealous of you. I knew you had what it took to succeed in life. I could totally imagine you having that big house, rolling in a high-end car, and having kids. Especially since I heard that you got into a program at UCLA.

Tin đến thật bất ngờ, được thông báo là Phú mất ngay ngày hôm đó. Họ nói là Phú Mập con Hoa Phát(hàng xóm tôi), dễ tin vì anh ta quá tải, làm nhiều người lo ngại cho anh từ lâu. Định gọi hỏi thăm. May quá chưa kịp, thì được xác định là Phú ốm. Không ai ngờ. Tháng này có phải "cá tháng Tư" ?, nhưng tin tức nhầm lẫn đến 2 lần. Lần đầu, có tin loan báo Nhiếp ảnh gia Phí văn Trung sắp hết hạn kỳ, làm xôn sao giới nhiếp ảnh. Mọi người quen biết hỏi thăm chia buồn. Cuối cùng là tin vịt, người cho tin như thật, làm nhiều người lúng túng. Tin lộn thứ hai, tin dữ về Phú Mập. Không ngờ lại là Phú ốm. Mấy lần trò chuyện với Phú, qua việc làm, nhiều người nhìn ra ngay em sẽ là người lãnh đạo cộng đồng trong tương lai, vì người có lời nói đi đôi với việc làm. Quê hương thư hai này hay tại quê nhà, chúng ta cần những người như vậỵ Tuần này, tôi tiễn 2 ngưo+`i bạn trẻ. - Tiễn Chirs Võ, 20 tuổi. sinh viên OCC, tình nguyện qua Phi cùng với nhiều người khác, giúp đồng bào Việt sủa soạn phỏng vấn để đi định cư tại Mỹ , Na Uy, hay Canada. - Tiễn Phú Nguyễn, 21 tuổi về miền vĩnh cửu.

My prayer go out to Nguyen NGOC PHU. Thank you for sharing your life! I know that you are walking on glorious lotus now! What would you do or think if you'd find out that this is your last day on earth? What would you do if you'd find out that your loved one had just unexpectedly die? Oddly, a death of someone, which I have never meet or talk to, shook my whole being. His name is Nguyen Ngoc Phu. His being inspired many. His life, death had made me think over and over about mine, life and humanity. One single person with such energy and love possesses a "butterfly effect" can change a community, a state, and possibly the world someday. "He gave people love and kindness, and he took in the pain, suffering, criticism, and pessimism of the world." He taught others to be careful so that no one get hurt in their intentions, words and actions. I've read all his friends, family, and teachers testimonials and truly at the age of 21, Phu had inspired all to truly live and love humanity. He is an EXTRAORDINARY human being that have the power to touch all. Reflecting on my life, I feel that I have not done so. Sometimes I get caught up in my personal issues, career moves, and relationship that I've forgotten to give myself. I've forgotten to be selfless. I've forgotten to give myself to something that is greater than you and I can ever imagined: GOD/BUDDHA/ALLAH etc, life, humanity... Phu have inspired many to walk on this heartful path. He have inspired all to give back to the community, to make people smile and laugh a little more. I do not believe in concidences, there was a reason why He was indirectly brought into my life. Maybe He is teaching how to be a better son, friend,brother, Vietnamese-American, world citizen and a better human being etc... How precious life truly is. How our illusions are so impermanent. As a human being, we are born into insecurity until the day we die. Nothing is secure but except our infinite soul and essence. We'd pur

Phú Heo! I wish you were here...Trên con đường tranh đấu mà Phú gọi là con đường nhân bản, cho tương lai Việt Nam, không có nhiều bạn có lý tưởng, có quyết tâm và có nhào vào việc như Phú. Nay Phú đã mất, anh em còn lại phải quý nhau hơn nửa phải không Phú? I know you always wanted that. Even after you have passed away, I still learn from the life you have led. Phu Heo, I think you left us because you can watch over us better from heaven than when you were on earth. I know you will always be with us until the day our dream comes true and help us thương nhau nhiều hơn from up there....but I will miss sharing những chuyện nhỏ trên con đường nhân bản with you. Phú Heo!...

Thành kính chia buồn cùng gia đình em Phú và Tổng Hội Sinh Viên VN miền Nam California. Gia đình mất đi một đứa con ngoan, bằng hữu mất đi một người bạn tốt, đất nước mất đi một người con yêu. An giấc ngàn thu, Phú!

I have not cried since I received words that you have passed. A. Huy cries himself to sleep each night, and I refuse to accept that you are gone until I see you in person. You were just at our home talking smack with me and sneaking off to pay for our coffees with only twenty dollars in your wallet to last you three more days. "What a punk," I thought. But then again, I have always known that your heart's the purest of hearts. I remember you most as a bratty pig who speaks his mind, no matter how much the truth hurts... one thing we have most in common. Thank you for being a phat pig with me! Only true friends can shoot that straight and still be loved. Good night until I see you again.

Phú ơi, Anh thật bàng hoàng sửng sốt khi nghe chị báo tin là em đã ra đi. Mặc dù mới quen biết em chỉ khoảng 2 năm nhưng anh rất mến tính tình và kính phục khả năng cũng như tư cách của em. Anh vẫn nhớ mỗi lần gặp anh, em lại cười thật tươi và nói: "Chào Thầy Đồ!". Từ đây, sẽ chẳng bao giờ được thấy lại nụ cười và nghe tiếng nói của em nữa. Tại sao thế hở Phú? Có phải vì vận nước mình chưa khá nên Trời đã vội bắt em đi? Tiễn em Nguyễn Ngọc Phú Tin dữ vừa nghe đã rụng rời, Sao đành vội vã thế, em ơi! Lòng son một tấm vun tình nước, Tuổi trẻ hai vai gánh việc đời. Giấc mộng thanh bình, cơn gió thoảng, Con đường luân lạc, ánh sao rơi. Ngày mai Đất Mẹ thôi xiềng xích, Trên lối về quê lại thiếu người. Trần Văn Lương California, 6/2005 Vĩnh biệt em.

It only took one brief moment, but your smile will forever be imprinted in my mind.

Everyone has already talked about your dedication, hardwork, and love for Vietnam. I couldn't have said those things about you any better than what's already been said. I do want people to know about your resilience in pursuing your dreams and your unwavering will to overcome all obstacles. I remember last June, when Tammy called me to ask me about MCAT scores. She said that you were depressed that you didn't do well on your MCATs and you were considering giving up. She asked me to call you to convince you to keep trying and not to give up. I decided to call you two days later after I had thoroughly thought of all the possible and brilliant reasons for you to keep pursuing your dreams (despite my cynicisms regarding what had become of the noble nature of the profession). I was shocked and happy at the same time to hear that you wanted to take the test again in August and that you are committed to studying and have started on the application process. We proceeded to discuss the score that you needed to have, who you should get letters of recommendations from, etc. etc. When you were on the brink of making that dream come true, you unexpected left this earth. I'm so happy to know that you finished what you started, something that I never had the guts to go through because somewhere along the line, I lost faith in the profession. The last time we saw each other was at the UVSA banquet. Prior to the banquet, we went on radio show to talk about the US education system to be broadcast in Vietnam for the young listeners. You teased me about being at an Ivy League school. We debated between the social benefits from being a public health professionial vs. a doctor; saving one life at a time vs. saving thousands, millions; curative vs. preventive; local vs. global. Words cannot express how much I enjoy your company. And I'm forever inspired by the compassion you have for people who have no voice, your will to succeed, your sacrifice for your family, your commu

You always been a great person. You introduced me to VSA fullerton my Freshmen year. I had a great time coming to the even with ya. Its only seem like couple of days ago when I saw you studying in the alumni room during final time. You were a great guy, you will be missed. God bless...

When Ngoc suprised me with a call early one afternoon with the news of ur passing, i was speechless, shocked, and fell in absolute disbelief. Why? God? why? Of all people, i would've never thought u'd go away so abruptly like this. You were so young yet so active within the community! You had soo much potential, and clearly the sky was the limit for you. After high skool, we went our separate ways and i regret that we never talked much...i only saw u and had some small talks with you on several different encounters but it was enuff for me to see how dedicated of a person u r towards ur community and ur work. I know we werent the best of buddies but the news of ur passing is one of heartfelt tragedy. I could only wish i was able impact as many lives as u have in your short lifetime. Your accomplishments so far are beyond any typical person your age. I know You've done ur parents proud while u lived. The one thought that will forever linger on their minds is what type of leader could u have become. As i often say, life works in mysterious ways...u just hope for the best each day..love one another and show that you care..cuz with a blink of an eye ..ur loved ones may not be there! i'd like to dedicate to you a poem i wrote for a fallen frend a while back..and it goes a lil sumthin like this .......i cry over the event of your demise. my eyes exposed to tragedy as im sippin on henessey .im seein blurred vision as if im blinded..i still find it ..hard to believe..shit..we found ourselves grievin'..as my tears fall freely down mah eyes and cheeks...i cant help but sigh and weep..i know its a steep road ahead...we cant deny the truth that he's dead...life is ruthless..just like how it truly hurts wen I saw him layin motionless on the hospital bed..isnt this bullshit?..why does it have to be this way?..the good die young and the bad lives and lurks...i never understand how scandolez life works.. but until den we'll see u again...much love from ur homeboys and loya

If Fullerton VSA was a living being Phu had to be the heart of it. Even when time where hard at Fullerton Phu and his smile would always be there. You can never replace a person like Phu...his presence spread throughout the Vietnamese community like wildfire. I have never seen a man so dedicated in accomplishing so many things in such so little time. Never have I met a man that even compared to someone like you with your heart. I love you and I just want to say you will always be a part of me. Phu every step I take, every move I make ill be missing you. You are a great gift to the world. I hope you know that you made the world a better place and you will live on in my heart. I hope you hear me because I am so thankful we crossed paths. I hope you hear me….

"Phullerton," I'm going to miss making fun of you and being made fun by you.

Yea Steve's right. It was always the three of us at the campaign fieldtrips, all the way up to pass midnight. Those nights of little sleep were the best. I remember that one day when you drove me and steve into that one night club and we saw the *not suppose to be seen* stuff...it was hilarious. Anh phu, those were the best times of my life doing stuff. It was truly an experience to be helping out stuff like that with you and steve. And I remember having to pass on the "hi" message with steve for you too. Im just so sorry that all those times we made plans we couldnt get to them but i guess your entrance into my life was good enough. You and steve are like like my brothers and you are such an inspiration to the both of us. And you know whats funny... i was driving by your house one day and i saw you mowing your lawn. It was actually really great to see you..=)I'll miss you tremendously anh. Rest in tranquility always and I'll be sure to keep our memorizes close in my heart. Im sure i will c u again some day.

Many of us may not know that just a couple days ago, Phú was still a General Secretary of the Election Committee for the Vietnamese Community of Southern California. We had our Election Committee meeting on Thursday, June 9, to prepare for the upcoming Community Election Day (June 19) and I still remember vividly those very moments that Phú presented his ideas during the meeting. Phú's been ups and downs quite a lot recently but somehow he's always tried his best to contribute and help our community out. During his last days, Phú and I were working on a flyer for the Election Committee and one of the last things he asked me was: "anh Việt, have you finished your part on our flyer yet!?". I then realized how responsible and caring he is to work, friends, and our community. I miss you Phú and wish you peace in heaven.

Phu, you did it. You had accomplished what you wanted. I learned a lot from you. I loved you passion for the needy. Hope your're at a better place now and don't forget we all love you, dude. Peace Out!

"Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show I laced the track, you locked the flow So far from hangin on the block for dough PHU NGUYEN, they got to know that Life ain't always what it seem to be Words can't express what you mean to me" I couldn't find another perfect song than this... You introduce me to everything. I follow you anywhere, without a question. We use to hang out at night to put up Lou Correa's sign up. It' was you me and Shayla remmember? Shayla and I was like your peers, more than that we were like your little brother and sister. We love being taken care of by you, love hang out with you, and putting up signs and posters, but what the hey?! why you left like that !? You always reminded me to tell shayla you said hi when she can't make it to any of the events and I did everytime.. buh you know unstead of telling shayla you say hi this time....I had to tell her, our beloved anh Phu has passed away... We both miss you a whole lot anh phu... rest in peace and don't forget about us... hope to see you again.. <3 always your one n only Steve Le

Mới gặp Phú đó, nay lại lìa xa tụi này. Những hành động và nhắn nhủ Phú chia sẽ cùng Anh Em, Anh Huy sẽ không bao giờ quên. Nhớ những ngày đầu gặp Phú tại Đại Hội Thanh Niên 3 tại Nam Cali. Sự làm việc và chung vui cùng tất cả mọi người. Tuy ngắn ngủi, nhưng Phú đã sống với đầy ý nghĩa. Phú đi trên con đường Nhân Bản mà Phú lựa chọn và quyết tâm đi. Chuyện Nhỏ Trên Con Đường Nhân Bản, Bài Ca Tuổi Trẻ, "Gặp nhau trong tâm hồn Việt Nam sáng ngời". Anh Huy sẽ tiếp tục đi trên con đường đó Phú ơi. Tạm biệt Phú Heo, tạm biệt em.

I can't believed this was real. Anh Phu, you had been such a great role model to me. You've always participated in every vietnamese tradition. You made me feel extremely proud to be a vietnamese. You made me feel like temple wasn't as bad as it sounds. You did so much!!!! Why did you have to go, was your time up? You taught all of us so much. The tricks to life, and what not. You were such a great person. I hope you're going to a better place. love, vivian thuy tien tran

Phu Heo.... although we did have our differences... and we constantly argured... I always knew that we were working under one team.. one goal.... no matter what path it may be... it led to the same destination...and the motives were always pure..... the only memories i have left of you are the ones that went way back.... when we went clubbing at the can together,... when we played games,... made jokes, and laughed from the bottom of our hearts.... thank you for being apart of my life.... thank you for bring me those smiles and laughters.. you and your family will be in my prayers.

Your happiness and kindness will be remembered... sorry that bad things happen to good people. Take care, bye.

:'( , bye, ill miss you

what the CON HEO ! omg i'm in complete shock after hearing this..I really miss you phu. I remember all the times we had at temple...the great memories where you & david would always mess around bring laughters to our group. I remember when all those little kiddies would chase you and david around and tackle you guys down. We had so much fun that time, well I know I did 'cause you made my first year there something memorable. Remember what you would call me? Tito. I'll never ever forget that. And all those times you would pick me up when I didn't listen to your orders and throw me in the trashcan. Last summer, when me & my friend would go in your car while you guys were cleaning up from Le Phat Danh I think; how we turned on your music so loud, it pissed you off & you kicked us out. haha goood times <3 The last time I saw you was the Tet countdown. You always had that cheerful smile on your face that everyone admires. I got my last hug from you that night. I`ll treasure all our memories. May you rest in peace Anh Phu, you'll always be in our hearts.

.. Good bye Anh Phu...

... this is a bad year. you were always the hyper one at temple. hyper but safe. always kept the small ones first. you had the ability to turn every grey day to its best. i remmeber being at temple with you and you always pushed us to do good deeds. tho i did not get to know you. i can see that your are [were] a great person. the memories of temple will always remain in my mind and to find this out. it hurts. to see a great brother like you fall. you were a brother to every1 at temple. look down on us. forever rest in peace. and i would like to thank you, for your time at the temple helping the small ones [myself] at times. not thing can repay what you have done. you will always be remembered. ~michael vuong.

Anh Phu died.. he was wonderful.. i will never ever forget you.. this is horrible.. i just saw you!.. not so long ago.. now you`re -sigh- why... i will miss you terribly.. i love you Anh Phu.. and your Con Heo too =] .. thankyou for always putting great effort in trying to make me laugh.. remember kylie and i? you would always make fun of us, especially Kylie.. you called her Tito.. she gave you a stuffed pig.. i wonder where it is now.. you had a great impact in my life.. you were a wonderful person and i`m sure everyone knows that.. you will be remembered,Anh Phu; do not doubt that

I remember the times.. You retreated me as ur own brother.. You have done so much for me..I will never forgot the times.. you tips u gave me. and all the times we hung out.. never will i forget someone like you.. well see eachother in the next life. and next time well be real brothers.. I love you...

You were always an idol to me at temple. I remember hanging out with you and playing basketball back then like it was yesterday. When I heard the news, I couldn't believe it. I just want to say thanks and I'll reminisce you man. Take care.

man i remember all the days we played basketball at chua hue quang when we would loose and you make us clean...i will truly miss that and i will always remember you...you were such a good idol...rest in peace big brother...oink oink

~Hearing about your death, was such a shock to me. I didn't know you as well as I wanted to, but while I was in VAHSA you helped me whenever I needed the help and you were always there for us. I remember calling you a couple times and everytime you would be so friendly and nice even though you didn't really know me. I don't know exactly what to say because I am still in disbelief. You're such a great person and so young and I'm just constantly asking why did this happen to such a great person. I guess everyone has their time. Thanks for everything and I'll definately always remember you.~

Vô cùng đau đớn khi hay tin anh Phú đã ra đi vĩnh viễn. Cú Phone tôi nhận được vào lúc 6:40PM. Thật bàng hoàng và không tin vào lỗ tai của mình vì nhớ lại mới sáng nay lúc 9:25AM, Thứ Ba ngày 7 tháng 6, 2005 Phú còn ngồi bên cạnh tôi khi anh bước vào trong phòng Hearing Rơom của Orange County Supervisor để chuẩn bị cho buổi debate và bỏ phiếu công nhận lá cờ vàng thân yêu của chúng ta. Cuộc Debate và bỏ phiếu xong vào lúc 10:35AM và chúng tôi bước ra khỏi phòng cùng nhau vui mừng chúc vui kết quả thắng lợi này. Ngay lúc đó thì Phú, Thiện Tâm và một anh trẻ nữa được cô xướng ngôn viên đài truyền hình Little Saigon TV đến phỏng vấn trong khoảng hơn 10 phút đồng hồ. Tôi quanh quẩn bên cạnh, và cũng trả lời vài ba người phóng viên từ những tờ báo địa phương cũng như đài Truyền Hình SaiGon TV phỏng vấn và thu hình. Một lúc sau thì Phú và Thiện Tâm bước ra, tôi bắt tay Phú một lần nữa thật vchặt và từ giã để trở vào sở làm. Buổi chiều tan sở, vừa về đến nhà, lúc đó gần 6:00PM, vội vàng mở TV lênb xem ngay và thấy kịp hình Phú và Thiện Tâm đang trả lời cuộc phỏng vấn buổi sáng và tôi mừng cho kết quả của lá cờ vàng. Vậy mà chỉ khoảng nửa tiếng đồng hồ sau đó tin dữ đưa đến đã làm cho tôi thật sững sờ, đau đớn. Xin chia xẻ với tất cả mọi người thân quen. Phú ơi, anh em còn đây, cộng đồng còn đây nhưng thiếu vắng Phú với nụ cười nhè nhẹ, với dáng người dong dỏng cao... Cầu xin thượng đế hãy đưa linh hồn Phú về nơi an nghỉ đời đời. Hãy phù hộ anh em còn đang tiếp tục công việc trên dương thế. Vĩnh biệt Phú. Love

Man, you're like a star! Glowing brightly and showing the way for your peers. You're a motivator in your words and actions. We have always agreed to disagree on many things, but we share common goals, so for that we're BROTHERS. Watch over us so we'd always have the strength and courage to continue our mission on the "con đường nhân bản"; that in our lifetime we'd see freedom in Viet Nam. Phu', now you're really a star, watching us from above. You'll be missed greatly...

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news. I still remember at the Tet festival it was so muddy and I couldn't walk through the mud. You just picked me up and carried me through the mud and gave me your drinking bottle water to wash off the mud. It shows me how selfless you are with others. For that reason, I truly respect you. God is taking you away from this sinful place we call earth and back to heaven where you belong. You will always be in our hearts. Rest In Peace.

Tôi biết và nhớ ra Phú là người đã làm làng trưởng làng Nha Trang trong kỳ đại hội sinh viên thế giới lần thứ 3. Một người bạn trẻ rất trưởng thành và có khả năng. Làng Nha Trang kỳ đó rất vui cũng nhờ có người làng trưởng vui vẻ, nhiệt tình và có tinh thần trách nhiệm. Tôi thật xúc động khi biết tin Phú ra đi vĩnh viễn với tuổi đời còn rất trẻ và nhiều hăng say. May you rest in peace!

I was really shocked like the million other people who were when i found out you passed away....I don't know what to say because everyone else has said what i said. You touched my life and made a difference...you were always there for me when i needed help or when i needed a friend to talk to. you were always an inspiration. remember how you kept insisting i use to my viet name....you'll always be missed, cherished, and a model for everyone. love-jess

I had accept the fact that you had gone away from us forever. I had accept a leader of UVSA had really passed on. And I had accept the fact that I will never see a friend again. But I haven't accept the fading memories of you, the time that we work side by side together at Tet festival, the talk we had during the meetings. You're truly missed by everyone Phu. You're respected for your dedicated work, ethnic, and most importantly, being a good friend. Where ever you may be, thank you for everything you've done for us. You have touched us all. I'll always remember you. Xin cha`o vi~nh bie^.t nguoi ba.n cua to^i.

Though I have only met you once I know that the many many great stories and memories of you will live on among your many loved ones throughout the UVSA family, the Southern California area and as this message board proves the entire nation and even the world. Rest in peace and be assured that all you stood for will be upheld by the UVSA family and the future generations especially if they get a chance to hear of your inspirational stories, like I got a chance to.

Take a peace at rest Phu, God bless you

I will always remember your smiling face, always cracking jokes at meetings. You were so selfless, one of the first to lend a helping hand. VAHSA VCN '03 became a reality for us because of you. Thank you for your neverending love and support. You will be missed terribly.

Ngọc Phú ơi, những gì về Phú mọi người đã nói hết rồi .... Nhân đành tặng Phú những câu sau: TỪ tâm Ngọc Phú rộng biết bao BI thương ai có cùng chia sẽ HỶ sự cùng nhau kết vui mừng XẢ hết buồn phiền không oán trách Tứ Vô Lượng Tâm Ngọc Phú có Cho nên nụ cười mãi trên môi "Nguyện công đức đã làm Kết duyên lành giải thoát Ðoạn nghiệp chướng não phiền Quả Niết Bàn chứng đạt"

I had been waiting for the right words to express how I feel. I still don't know what to say. My heart goes out to your family most of all. I just don't think anything I say would heal their pain. I hope we pray for them also. I've never been more proud to be Vietnamese. To know that i have brothers and sisters with such devotion and spirits like yourself and people of UVSA. Do you realized the magnitude of your influence? Losing you caused a wave of sadness that's concentrated here in socal and resonnate throughout the world! Not many people have such affect. I hope you know that your passion, charity, effort and everything you offered were greatly appreciated. I will always remember you, because we can proudly display our beloved yellow flag with three red stripes. Thank you for fighting our battles to the end. Nam mo a gi da phat.

Em Phú Heo, Stunned. Couldn't believe this happened to you so early. Such a big loss for the Vietnamese Community! Missing you deeply, Chị phongnhã (Liên Đoàn Hướng Đạo Văn Lang)

PHu..when I heard the news that you passed away..immediately i though of your voice on the Radio (Đài Tiếng Nói sinh Viên)..Eventhough you are gone now, but your voice is still here with us..it's still in our heart..rest in peace Phu..we never forget you.

U Know? I was always envious of you because you spoke Vietnamese so much better than me. You could always sweet talk to the older ladies and grandmothers. We used to argue about the most ridiculous topics. One time it was you in the car when I drove the wrong way on a one way street in downtown LA. You never let me hear the end of it. We grew apart after the years. But you have that personality that sticks out, it's distinctive, open, and not very forgettable. But you always understood my cheesy humor and I appreciated yours. Watch my back will ya?

"Chuyện nhỏ trên con đường nhân bản" was what Phu would always say... I'm speechless.. I'm writing this in tears.. i just talked to you monday night as if it was yesturday. I remember the first time I met you at Dai Hoi, calling you up to bug you, hanging out with you whenever i am down in socal. so many great memories will always be kept inside of me. Our "phuongie" and "Phuey" caps. Everytime I wear it, it'll always remind me of you. I wish I can have your "Phuey" cap which means deary to me. You have always been that person whom i admired and love. that person that did so much for others and not himself. Phu, you've touched my life and so many others. I remembered your showing me the Shaolin Brother video.. oh how i miss you so much. All your characteristics have been listed above.. there is no words to express you. for you are truly one of a kind. I'll sure miss you lots! you will always be remembered and always be apart of my heart. r.i.p. my dearest phu heo.

Phu you are truly an extraordinary individual. You have been such a sweet caring gentleman. As I sit here and think of all the wonderful selfless things you have done for others and me I think …many people just don’t know what’s in front of them until it’s gone. I truly believe in my heart that God has taken one of his precious angels home… you Phu, because you have complete your good will here on earth. You have not only made him happy but, also all those who you have touched through you charm, passion and unconditional love. Phu, you will always be in my mind and heart… missing you.

Although I dont really know you I just gotta say you are an amazing person. I remember the first time I saw you was the Tet festival and everyone was saying what a wonderful person you are and when I heard that poem you read to the audience and all the wonderful things the city officials spoke about you...I was just amazed and inspired. In a way I felt proud that you were representing the Vietnamese youths. I dont really know how one person can have such an impact in the community and on everyone, but it seemed that you have and did, especially from all these posts. I wish I had the chance to know you because you were inspirational, selfless, kindhearted, but you seemed to have a great sense of humor as well..something I truly admire in a person. I truly believe that even in your death, you are still fighting for your cause and inspiring people because simply reading about you inspire me to be more involve and active in my community. I am sure those who hear about your life and the things you have done will feel the same. The world will greatly miss your presence

As a freshman, I am new to the VSA family and never got a chance to work with UVSA, but coincedently, i got a chance to work with you at the Tet festival. You probably dont remember me, but I was the guy who came extra early to volunteer at the festival and you asked me to help you out. We introduced ourseleves then you and i spent the rest of the day carrying metal sheets, wood blocks, and hays to cover the mud. I remember one moment when we put the sheet down on the mud and i accidently dropped it, so the mud splashed all over your pants, i expected you to yell but instead u laughed at me. We never got a chance to get to know each other beside the small talks that we had, but that day, i had the opportunity to get down and dirty with a hard worker, leader, and a VSAer who is fill with devotion. Look at all these people who love you...love them back and watch over them. I'll see you.

Phu was one of the few old-school VSAers who continued to show up for Fullerton's dinky little weekly meetings this year--because he still believed in our struggling little VSA. Actually, Phu believed in a lot of wonderful things: selflessness, volunteerism, cultural awaress, community/politcal activism, youth empowerment, education, friendship, family, loyalty, freedom--the list could go on for miles--and I'm sure the list of his dreams could go on for just as long. Phu had a really good future ahead of him. Academically, but also in our community--sometimes his passion could be unbridled, but his intentions were always pure... he had a heart of gold. Now, his dreams will have to be realized by someone else... If only I knew your dreams, Phu--I would try to fulfill some of them myself. If you see my dad where you are now, say hello and introduce yourself, Phu--you were exactly the kind of person he admired in our society. You truly were a fine young gentleman--a passionate, proactive, intelligent, culturally aware, "Phu-llerton" graduate--and an honest, caring friend to those closest to him. Happy trails, my friend... we'll all see you again someday.

One does not truly appreciate life unless one chooses to live for others. . . From what everyone said about you, you have influenced and helped so much people. I guess you were just doing what made you happy - living a unselfish life and by making others happy. . . you were a model leader, a hero, and a friend to so many. . . may you finally rest in peace.

You'll always be remembered and loved.

I was telling my son about you...how I admired your dedication, your fluent Vietnamese...and now you're gone. Rest in peace.

I will always remember you, from GKH, training camp, to random places - seeing you always put a smile on my face. Rest in peace Phu.

Thanks for being like part of my family and being such a big supporter of my sister Tammy. I think your postive energy will live on in our family. You really touched our family in a loving and positive way. Thanks for being such a positive person and setting a good example for others to follow. You went out of your way in the most thoughtful and selfless way and our family will always appreciate it. Thanks for showing us how important family is. Take Care.

So, I guess no more income taxes or bills to pay eh? Man... take care buddy.

Anh Phu Heo... but your dedication to UVSA, your commitment to GDPT, all of your community services and doings with the Vietnamese community have been and will remain to be an inspiration to those who know you. You gave me the most memorable interview I've ever had. Hehe, "Phu-la-tinh". I will miss you, and will continue to do the things you've inspired me to do. Thank you.

You live you life to love and give compassion to everyone around you. The Vietnamese community and the World has loss one it great human being. You will be greatly miss, Rest in Peace Phu'

I will always remember how you made me feel comfortable with the UVSA family when I was a little High School kid trying to get involved... You will be greatly missed... Rest in peace my friend...

Hey Phu. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you gave me. Thanks for your advises for us during VAHSA Camp. Thanks for gave us the power and the inspiration to scope all the rain water during Tet. I still can't believe the fact that you are gone. Man, I just saw you and talked to you about the Non Song Camp and now that was the last. So sad that you have to go so soon. We will continue your legacy. "Chuyen Nho Tren Con Duong Nhan Ban" - Nguyen Ngoc Phu. Good bye my friend.

Dear Phu. Of course we have just met for a short period of time but your dedication to the Vietnamese health fair at ACACIA Adult Day Center was always remembered with The beautiful flyer that you had made. Rest in peace, Phu - I will always remember you.

Phú thương mến, Phú ra đi quá đột ngột và ở lứa tuổi mà tương lai còn trãi dài trước mắt làm cho mọi người cùng thương tiếc. Ðọc những dòng tâm sự chia sẽ của bạn bè người thân Phú viết thì cô càng hiểu rõ hơn sự sâu xa của nỗi tiếc thương mọi người dành cho em. Hình ảnh cuối cùng cô có về Phú là trong buổi khai mac Hội Chợ Tết năm nay. Phú tươi cười đứng trên sân khấu trong vai trò trưởng ban tổ chức lên tiếng đón tiếp mọi người. Ðây là một hình ảnh hiếm có vì hình như lúc nào Phú cũng đứng đàng sau để nâng đỡ và hỗ trợ các bạn trẻ trong các sinh hoạt cộng đồng. Cô nhớ những buổi họp ở nhà cô trong mùa tranh cử vừa qua. Phú ít nói nhưng sau đó hay góp ý và nhắc nhỡ cô những điều cần phải làm. Phú hay để ý và giúp đỡ mọi người. Hình như cô chưa bao giờ thấy Phú giận dữ hoặc bực mình với ai cả. You were always such a gentle and reflective old soul! Sự ra đi của Phú làm cho mọi người ngậm ngùi nhớ lại sự hữu hạn của thân phận con người. Cuộc sống của Phú tuy ngắn ngũi nhưng đầy ý nghĩa vì Phú đã sống và đối xử với tất cả bằng một tấm lòng quãng đại. Cô nghĩ tới bài hát của TCS.. "Sống trong đời sống, cần có một tấm lòng, để làm gì em biết không… để gió cuốn đi…" Giờ đây gió đã cuốn Phú đi xa rồi…

We first met at the leadership summit. And then at the Tet Festival, we spent about thirty minutes together. Ripping off all the light lamps and ropes attached to cherry picker, then pushing it through mud, and halling it to the stage for the Tet Pageant. Within these thirty minutes, I witness your "can do" attitude. You showed me how to use it and emphisized being careful so no one gets hurt. You are proof that a young person can accomplish so much. Looking at this page, you've got admirers from all over the world. May you rest in peace.

Phu, thank you for being a part of my life. I will miss the phone calls and talks that we had. Your friendship will always be a part of me. Thank you so much. You will always be remembered. May you rest in peace.

Phu, you truly were the most compassionate, most dedicated, most loving human being in the world. You always did everything for other people, never thinking of yourself. You are the epitome of pure altruism. Actually, there are no words that can describe what kind of person Phu was for he was more than human in mind, spirit and body. He gave people love and kindness, and he took in the pain, suffering, criticism, and pessimism of the world. He always wanted others to be happy. It was always others before himself. We've lost a great person. Phu, even though your life was cut short, you've lived a full and meaningful life and your example of "pure and unconditional selflessness" will live on in each and every person you touched. We'll miss you brother. We will really miss you. Til we meet again....

**************************************************** "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." Phu, I'm speechless... I've been trying to gather my thoughts and my words for you but it seems that nothing will come out. It's obvious that you lived a selfless life, not just for your family but your friends, your organizations, your community and Vietnam. Through the late night meetings, the endless phone calls, the epic emails and the nights hanging out in the mud at Hoi Cho Tet, I WILL NEVER FORGET those memories. All these memories have now created a movie in my mind, leaving me breathless and leaving my heart ache. I have wonder for days now, why did this happen, why you. But now, I realized that you have been blessed to Roi Khoi Luon Hoi. You have done your duty, put in your all and even until the last day here on Earth still fought for Freedom for the Vietnamese people. The quote above is dedicated to you. Although your life here was short, it was used wisely. You lived each day for others and in all that you have done, millions of lives have been touched and changed forever. I know now that you are in a better place; away from all the suffering. Thank you for EVERYTHING you've done and said. For being a friend, a brother and a true human rights activist! I will always remember you and carry you dear in my heart. Remember the Pig on my bed that you wanted so bad? I'm going to name him Phu Heo. The scar on my chin and neck from the accident, it will always remind me of you (in a good way of course). Lastly, UVSA will not be the same without you, but we will grow stronger because of you and your hard work and dedication. I MISS YOU SOO MUCH HEO...Forget me not and remember to watch over us. Nam Mo Bon Su Thich Ca Mau Ni Phat. I Heart You.... ***********************************************

Thật bất ngờ trước tin cuả Phú ra đi , một người trẻ , đầy nhiệt huyết nhưng lại vắn số , tiếng cười , tiếng hát , và lúc nào cũng tạo cho mọi người có nhiều nụ cười và niềm vui cuả "Phú heo" đâu còn . Thành thật chia buồn cùng gia đình cuả Phú . Cám ơn em đã cho đời nhiều niềm vui .

Phu oi, your dedication and selfless contributions to our community and our youth will always be inspiring. Thank you and may you rest in peace.

Dear Phu, Reading all those words about you when you were on this life, I guess you must've been a great guy. I wish I had known you and feel a great waste of a young life. 'Good people die young' as they say. May God bless your soul and rest in peace.

Phu, you are truly an inspiration with so much passion and enthusiasm for community activism. Your cheerful smile and positive disposition will be truly missed.

The funny memory between you and me was when I first step into the U office and your introduce your name as Phu. I say so you are the big Phu that I heard so much and you say, "You got the wrong Phu! Fool! You are talking Phu Map and I not that map okay. I am Phu Heo." And then I introduce my name as Du and you think is promounce as Tu or Dung. Then you finally got it right and then you say, "Why was your parent thinking naming you Du?" I say my name mean enought and you reply, "Really! Dam I guess your parent don't want anymore kid!" Then you ask me question, "Why are you so short?" From that point on you left a funny impression. I know UVSA family will always have you in their heart even you are gone from this world. Phu if you in heaven right now watch over all your friends and families so that we can achieve you dream for you.

How is VAYA doing? that is the first thing you ask when ever you saw me...with the smiling in your face always and always...Quoc called me in the morning and said Phu just pass away yesterday...I thought "Phu Map" but Quoc said "Phu Heo" I was shock...I could not do anything since I heard about this...I still don't believe it. I feel that I lost a part of my body. You have done so much things for the community and for Vietnam. We will always remember you especially the near day Vietnam is "freedom" and we all together sing "Tu khap nhung phuong troi, tu muon loi di trong doi, gap nhau trong tam hon Vietnam sang ngoi..." ....miss you...

I remember when you had called me to help you flyer for Human Rights Night a while ago. People didn't really show up until later, so it was just me and you flyering around Phuoc Loc Tho for most of the morning. It was kinda funny that we had to flyer quickly and discreetly because we had gotten caught by the Phuoc Loc Tho security guards. This is just one of the events that reminds me of how selfless you are.. so passionate about things that it didn't matter that you had to do all of the nitty gritty work when nobody wanted to come out and help. Your passion for the community is a quality that I'll always admire about you. You are a true philanthropist, Phu Heo.

From my association as a volunteer for UVSA, I am at a complete loss for words.

Phu, you are an inspiration for all those you've touched. I am glad to have known you this past few years. Your laughter will remain, your kindness will be passed on, and your love for humanity and for Vietnam will be remembered.

Phu, you are one extraordinary person. I remember the times we went prepping for the finals at the temple boot camp. You were so enthusiastic, I remember looking at you and saying to everyone "He's going to be one heck of a leader." Indeed, you were, and will always be. Thank you for everything you have given to this community.

Always with a smile on your face and goofiness in your heart but full of passion and dedication in your work. I remember those pink pig slipper that you wear around UVSA and so proud of it or the time that you decided to chase after the pig in Tet Festival and I can't help but smile about your life and your work. The community and us your friends missing you very much.

Phu, You were such a joy to have around, always looking to make others happy. 'Bai Ca Tuoi Tre' will live on, and so will our memory of you. Rest in peace!

You were just at my house this Tuesday, June 7th... visiting my mama that noon, like you always have. I really miss you! My sister, my mom.. the whole family does. Muchas gracias para la comida nos hiciste dos semanas pasadas de mi familia. Tu conoces ella tiene amor grande contigo. I know you're seeing all this, so you should know now that we love you and you have become one of us, always. I've been taking care of the best friend, so I promise you that I'll be there for her. You've really done a number on us all... and your essence will continue to be with us forever. Thankful beyond comprehension. Saving our prayers for you..

Phú ơi! Cháu đã bỏ bác, bỏ bạn bè và ra đi một cách đột ngột. Bác hết sức sửng sốt, bàng hoàng, và đau đớn quá như đã mất đi một người con ruột thịt thân yêu. Thế hệ của bác đã chiến đấu gần hết cả cuộc đời vẫn chưa hề đem lại được Ðộc Lập thật sự cho nước nhà, Tự Do, Dân Chủ, Nhân Quyền và Hạnh Phúc thật sự cho Nhân Dân. Bác kỳ vọng ở cháu và ở thế hệ trẻ của các cháu dấn thân tiếp tục công cuộc đấu tranh còn dang dở biết là bao! Từ nay âm dương hai ngả, bác đâu còn gặp lại cháu nữa! Thương cháu biết là bao! Tiếc chàu biềt là bao! Nhớ cháu biết là bao!!! Nguyễn Văn Nghiêm Cựu Sinh Viên Ðại Học CAL STATE FULLERTON.

Every time I went to UVSA meetings, you were always the one who greeted me with a big smile and enthusiasm =). I'll miss that...and more =(

Phu, you've touched so much to the lives of the people that had the privileges to know you. You had a fulfilled life, Vietnam will have a better day because there was you. Do you remember at the Festival, when you tried to convince me to save you 15 minutes on stage for your Lien Khuc 30 Nam? And I managed to have it on Saturday night despite all the rain and tight schedule. At the end of the lien khuc, when Bai Ca Tuoi Tre was being sung, We all waved our hands, you turned to me and said "I'm so proud of my work, thank you so much for doing this for me man." You have left such a deep impression in my heart that I keep until now. Please rest, your legacy will continue...

Phu Heo you were a great person, one of a kind and will always be so in my heart. Thank you for all your care and all your love. I miss you so dearly.

Em Phu', My heart aches from your early departure. It seems as though we were just cutting bamboo yesterday. But, a life is measured not in years but in what the person does given those years. You lived a beautiful and fulfilling life. I thank you.

Phú, Last week when I said "I'll see you later, Phu Heo!" I didn't know that it was going to be the last time I will ever get a chance say that to you. Although we did not get the opportunity to hang out often, you did promise me that we would go play B-Ball together, remember? Don't you forget, ok? But I am not worry because you were a type of person who'd always keeps his promises. And I know we'd make a good team because remember chị Lan always called us the duo "Phú-Quí"? She even asked us to Song Nhà for her on Đêm Giao Thừa of Tết Ất Dậu 2005, remember? But until we meet on the other side again, the dynamic duo will always be missing you. Lastly, we know that you are in a good place now and ALL OF US will continue to pray for you and your family. Your friend... Quí aka the duo "Phú Quí"

Phu Heo, this is "Ong Gia", as you always called me. Rest in peace my young UVSA brother... We will always remember you. Let's sing Bai Ca Tuoi Tre one more time...

Rest in peace Phu. You were truly an example for all of us.

I wished I had more opportunity to speak to you. There are so much more things that I have to tell you, but now I would never have that opportunity to hear you respond. When I close my eyes, I picture you smiling so cheerfully always saying "Ba lan"--til this day I still don't know what that means. I hope your enjoying your time up in heaven and enjoying all the pretty angels up there. PS I am sure they are comparable to vietnamese girls in ao dai.

You illuminated and inspired everyone around you. Thank you for making this world a better place. You will be deeply missed. Rest in Peace Brother Phu.

Tiếng điện thoại reo. Lân ở đầu giây bên kia. "Bác! Bác nhớ Phú Heo không?". "Nhớ chứ. Tôi đáp. Có gì vậy?" "Phú chết 3 giờ chiều hôm qua. Cháu và các bạn Phú đứng trước bệnh viện tới nửa đêm hôm qua". Tôi có dịp gặp Phú và Lân ở tiệm phở Hoà, trong chuyến đi về Orange County nói chuyện với sinh viên UCLA và UC Irvine về mối bang giao Mỹ, Việt Nam, Trung quốc và về đề tài Tôn giáo và chính trị tại VN. Phú muốn gặp tôi để hỏi một số hướng dẫn để anh học ngành Y khoa. Tôi nói cho Phú nghe tất cả những gì tôi biết và tôi cũng chia xẻ với anh một số điều là "nên làm thế nào" không chỉ trong Y khoa mà cả trong cuộc đời. (Tôi có thói xấu hay chia xẻ kinh nghiệm sống của mình với những người mình có cảm tình đặc biệt). Gặp Phú lần đầu, tôi đã có ấn tượng tốt về anh, qua những điều mà tôi nghe được về các hoạt động của Phú, mà cũng vì những chia xẻ nghiêm chỉnh của Phú về tương lai. Tôi hiểu ngay Phú là người muốn vượt trội. Tôi thích những người trẻ kiểu này. Tôi bảo Phú "Phải quyết tâm sửa soạn cho mình để làm sao luôn luôn có thể chọn lựa trong cuộc đời. Phú có cả cuộc đời nhiều năm trước mặt". Nhưng tôi đã lầm. Đời Phú quá ngắn. Nhưng dù sao tôi cũng biết rằng Phú đã có tự do chọn lựạ: không chỉ sửa soạn cho tương lai cá nhân mình mà còn phục vụ người khác. Trong cuộc dời, có nhiều người gặp nhiều lần mà không nhớ lắm. Phú là người tôi gặp một lần ngắn ngủi mà nhớ.

Your are a good friend Phu, from high school to college, working hard at the things you do. Good happy times, I won't forget you, none of us will. Miss you man...

Phú ơi, Ở trên đó nhớ phù hộ cho bạn bè dưới này đang dệt tiếp những ước mơ dang dở nhé, Tạm Biệt Heo Con

Rest in Peace Phú Heo You were wise beyond your years, and far mature beyond your age, choosing to tackle tough social issues and give all of your time in the service of others, rather than be young and just focus on having fun like so many. Your leadership, dedication, passion, charisma, free spirit, quirkiness, and love for the international Vietnamese community will never be forgotten. "Chuyện nhỏ trên con đường nhân bản"

Phu Heo. "Oink Oink" This is "meow meow" here. I am so glad that I got to know you better ever since we worked on the Tet Festival together. Ever since I have known you, you have always inspired me. You have helped me a lot. I will always cherish the memories that we have, from Dai Hoi 3 to the Meixco trip to help the orphanage to the individual UVSA events. Missing you. ~Cathy~ "Chuyen Nho Tren Con Duong Nhan Ban"

Heartedly regret a young and talent hero, I ask myself if I can be a part of his devotion for the Human societies and Vietnam miserables? Farewell the young hero, very brave comrade. . .Remember you forever!

Phú thương nhớ, Viết thư cho em mà nước mắt chị nhạt nhòa. Mới thứ bảy vừa rồi thôi, mình gặp nhau trong xúc cảm và ánh mắt chia sẻ một niềm đau của em. Em ra đi vội, không có lời chia tay. Chị ngỡ như mình vẫn còn rơi từ vực cao. Em ơi, chị sẽ cố gắng làm theo những điều mà em đã để lại. Hôm qua, có dịp đọc bài thơ mà em viết vào ngày 4 tháng 4. Như là một lời chia tay mà em biết trước. Vô cùng cảm ơn em với tất cả tình yêu thương và sự mãnh liệt em để lại cho những người em yếu quí, gia đình, và bạn bè. Thương nhớ em.

Tôi có dịp được gặp Phú trong kỳ ĐHTNSVVNTG lần 3, anh chàng cao gầy, mắt sáng, miệng luôn nở nụ cười và nhất là nhiệt tình. Tôi nhớ hôm đó tôi và cô con gái đến Nam Cali ghi danh rất trễ, khoảng 12 giờ đêm, tại văn phòng Tổng Hội Sinh Viên, sau khi ghi danh cũng đã hơn 1 giờ mà tôi vẫn không biết đường về lại khách sạn. Thấy tôi có vẽ ngớ ngẩn và bối rối, Phú bèn đến hỏi thăm. Sau khi biết sự tình, Phú mới xung phong chở tôi về khách sạn, nới các anh em khác trong đoàn Toronto đang đợi. Hình ảnh của Phú làm tôi nhớ mãi. Về nhà con bé thường hay nhắc đến anh Phú Heo rất vui tính trong đội Nha Trang. Kỷ niệm ĐH 3 làm chúng tôi không bao giờ quên, càng khó quên hơn khi nhớ đến anh chàng cao,gầy, mắt sáng có biệt hiệu Phú Heo. Gỉa từ người bạn trẻ

Though you've left us forever, but our memories of you will remain forever in our heart, and thank you, thank you Phu for such great memories.

Xin cha`o vi~nh bie^.t mo^.t ngu*o*`i ba.n ddo^`ng ha`nh ....

Man, how could this happen to you Phu. In my memory from summer camp cali2003, you had so much energy and joy. You inspired every one. My sister Hong was there. And we still talking about Phu Heo. The funniest one, but also so responsible. Love and peace. All of us in Norway.

I'm missing you, the listener of your program missing you. As other life we hope and pray for you will be bester and bester. Buddha Bless You & God Bless You

Ta.m bie^.t Phu'

Phú, gặp đó, rồi mất đó! Nhớ lắm những giờ phút quen nhau, cùng vui, cùng làm việc cho một mục tiêu chung là Việt Nam. Bây giờ, việc chúng ta vẫn chưa thành mà Phú đã ra đi, nhưng tụi này biết chắc chắn Phú sẽ vẫn theo sát tụi này trên con đường mà chúng ta đã chọn. Tưởng sẽ gặp được Phú vào tháng 8 này khi mình ghé Nam Cali hay ít ra là tháng 12 khi Phú sang Sydney dự Đại Hội 4, thế mà... Thôi, yên nghĩ ngàn thu Phú nhé. Yên nghĩ trong tình thương nhớ khôn nguôi của bạn bè thân thuộc.

Phu, you've been a really great friend. No matter how busy you are, you always remember to pause for a second and ask how I'm doing. Thank you for always caring... I remember when we talked 2 yrs ago, you told me your plans for the future and I thought you were such a dreamer. But look at you now... you've accomplished so much more than that! I'm still amazed at how you could find the time to do everything. You're an inspiration to all and we all miss you very much.

God Bless.. and may you rest in peace.

You've accomplished so much and touched so many people around you. We miss your goofy ways already and we'll never forget what you've done in your time with us. Take care buddy...

Till we meet again...
