孔慶英 (William) 於 1966 年 8 月 16 日出生於香港，先父孔憲謀，母親 Annie Anna Marie Wajong-Hung。六兄弟姐妹中排行第四，也是長子長男孫。由於兄弟姐妹年紀相隔一年左右，童年充滿動感、趣味和競爭性。他自小被母親引導信奉耶穌基督，在靈光英文堂成長。William和Kelly於 1999 年在香港認識，當時他們是一家律師事務所的同事。他們分享了一段精彩的人生旅程，充滿樂趣、歡笑和歷時20多年的冒險。

William的運動能力、競爭拼搏力和領導力，在他年幼時便已被不少人看到。他機智、敏捷、勇猛。作為隊長，他在小學時期就帶領喇沙拉足球隊奪得學界冠軍。他對食物有自己的一套見解和熱愛，以至於他於 2000 年開設了自己的泰國食品餐廳。他是一個動手實踐的人。為了保證食品質量，他凌晨2點開車到水果批發市場，親自採摘最好的芒果。他向泰國廚師明裡學習暗裡偷師，以便在需要時能夠「頂」上。他最幸運的是有Kelly在他身邊，無條件地愛和支持他追求自己的目標和夢想。他熱愛動物，並在不同的非營利組織做義工，幫助照顧流浪貓和被遺棄的狗。他心愛的法國鬥牛犬 Rufus 非常想念他。

他是一個直率的人，不怕說出自己的真實想法。他堅持自己的信念。William在法律領域的15年職業生涯中，他致力於幫助客戶處理複雜的訴訟案件。他會找機會分享他的信仰，邀請客戶一起祈禱，安慰和鼓勵他們在等待結果的同時在上帝里面找到平安。William也有他溫柔的一面—面對老人家和小孩時，他喜歡與他們聊天、開玩笑。他會用有趣搞笑的獨家風格來講故事。他的一個侄子常聽得咯咯大笑、流眼淚兼肚子疼齊來，向舅父求饒請他停下來。對於侄女和侄子來說，他是一個有趣的舅父，還教他們各種運動—網球、羽毛球、足球、高爾夫球、皮划艇等。近年，William多與朋友們一起打網球，時而參加賽事；有時甚至在忙完通宵工作後，直赴球場。近日，他的很多網球夥伴給Kelly發短信：「我們會懷念他的 200 公里發球以及他在球場上有趣和樂天的性格」。 

老實說，William根本無法停下來。直到，也就是 2021 年 7 月 13 日上午出現的不適，在同一個下午便撒手塵寰。我們對他的突然離去感到難過惋惜。但我們不要懷怨含苦。我們感謝我們全能和慈愛的天父上帝賜予我們生命這寶貴禮物！我們很感激William與我們分享了他的生命。他實在給我們留下了不一樣的回憶……以下分享他侄女和侄子們的幾句話。

William Jr was born on August 16, 1966 in Hong Kong to the late William Hin-Mau Hung and Annie Anna Marie Wajong-Hung. As the fourth of six children each around one year apart, William’s childhood was action-packed, fun as well as competitive. He was led to his faith in Jesus Christ by his mother at a young age, and grew up at Emmanuel English Church. William and Kelly met in Hong Kong in 1999 when they were colleagues at a law firm. They shared a wonderful journey through life, full of fun, laughter and adventure that lasted for more than 20 years.

William’s sports skills, competitiveness and leadership skills was witnessed by many at a young age. He was witty, fast and fierce.  As team captain, he led the La Salle soccer team to championship in his primary school years. He was witty and fast. He has a passion for food, so much that he started his own Thai cuisine restaurant in 2000. He was a hands-on person. To ensure food quality, he drove to the wholesale fruit market 2.00am to hand pick the best mangos.  He learned from the Thai chef so that he could step in when needed. He was most lucky to have Kelly to be by his side, loving and supporting unconditionally as he pursued his goals and dreams. He loved animals and volunteered at different non-profit organizations to save stray cats and abandoned dogs. His beloved Frenchie, Rufus, missed him a lot.

He was a forthright person and not afraid to speak his mind. He stood up for what he believed in. During William’s career of 15 years in the legal field, he devoted himself in helping clients in complex litigation cases.  He even took the opportunity to share about his faith, invited clients to pray together, comforted and encouraged them to find peace in God while waiting for results. William had his soft side too – his compassion and kindness for the elderlies and children. He always chatted and joked with them. He told stories in the most amusing way. One of his nephews often giggled to tears, and had to beg “Kaufu” to stop coz “Kaufu” made him laughed so hard til his tummy ached. He was a fun uncle to his nieces and nephews. He taught them how to play tennis, badminton, soccer, golf, kayaking… In recent years, William shifted to playing tennis with friends, doing leagues and tournaments, at times even after overnight client work. Lots of his tennis buddies texted Kelly recently saying: “We will miss his 200km serve and his fun and joyful character at court”.   

Quite honestly, William was simply unstoppable. Until, that is, the affliction that surfaced in the morning of July 13, 2021, took its toll in the same afternoon. We are saddened by his sudden departure. But we must not be bitter.  We are grateful to our almighty and loving Father God for His gift of life!  We are grateful that William shared his life with us. What memories he has left us… Here are a few words from his nieces and nephews.

“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”  Glad you’ve kept your promise 🙂 I’ll see you in heaven, 4 Kaufu!” – Josh  

“四舅父, Thank-you for always reminding us that, “We are Groot.” – Love in Christ, Belle

“Crazy Kaufu, meet you at the tennis courts in heaven!  May you rest in peace” – The Ewys

“We celebrate the incredible life you have lived here on Earth. Your legacy, laughter and leadership will continue with the impact you have made with friends and family.  Not a goodbye but a see-you-again in Heaven!  Miss you, Kaufu! ” – Evelyn and Tim

We cherished William as he passed through our lives, dispensing joy, kindness, honest conversations and friendship down the years.  Thank you William!  We love you!  Farewell until we all meet again… in Heaven!
