Your passing shocked the entire family
No one expected you to leave us this soon.
No one even thought of you leaving.
But suddenly, you're gone.
It is so unexpected.
Everyone in the family will miss you
as you were the beacon of the family
and you were the main reason this family is still sticking together.
Now that you're gone
things may never be the same ever again.
You not only shocked us
but you shocked the nation as well.
For the past 30 years,
you have been involved in sports
and just 4 months ago
you took the entire Malaysian Olympics team to Beijing
with the post of Chef De Mission
Everyone is so proud of you.
You have no idea how shocked everyone is
as you were the best of friends to everyone
and like a father to all family members.
Though you're gone from this world
your memories will never leave our hearts.
Rest in peace uncle.
Datuk Gregory Ho Koh Chye
5th November 1942 - 3rd December 2008
DATUK POON FOKE LOOK (former international)
It is a great loss to the country. Datuk Ho was a dedicated coach who helped us finish a respectable fourth in the 1975 World Cup in Kuala Lumpur. He was a very disciplined person and believed there was no short cut to success.
KHAIRUDDIN ZAINAL (former international)
Datuk Ho was my mentor. He was the reason why I made it in hockey. He turned me into a good goalkeeper in the 1975 World Cup, thanks to his advice and guidance.
DATUK R. YOGESWARAN (former international)
He was a very dedicated player and always gave his best ... he always had words of encouragement for his team-mates before matches. He was a true friend who stayed in touch with me until his death. I not only lost a friend but a brother.
DATUK SIEH KOK CHI (Olympic Council of Malaysia secretary)
He was a great sportsman who dedicated his entire life to the development of sports in Malaysia, especially hockey. He was one of the best goalkeepers Malaysia ever produced. He was also a great sports official, who had done a lot for Malaysian sports. It is a great loss to the country.
EDWIN CHONG (Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia secretary)
Malaysia have lost a great sports official. I last met him during the Beijing Olympic Games and he was very professional in handling matters. I am surprised to hear of his death.
SIDNEY TUNG (Malaysian Tenpin Bowling Congress secretary)
He was a great person. We, in the MTBC, appreciate him a lot for helping us start the junior bowling circuit in the SportExcel when he was the executive director then. He was a dedicated sports official and we are really shocked to learn of his death.
KENNY GOH (Badminton Association of Malaysia general manager)I only got to know him during the Beijing Olympic Games but he left a lasting impression on me. In that short time, I learnt a lot from him. I discovered how knowledgable and passionate he was. He was truly a sportsman who loved his country.
N. SHANMUGARAJAH (Malaysian Gymnastics Federation secretary)
A true sport administrator and a successful athlete. He gave great support for the development of gymnastics in the early days.
DATUK DR RAMLAN AZIZ (National Sports Institute director general)
This man, to me, had a gift of friendship with everyone. You feel like you are worth millions when you are with him. He was a friend and a mentor. He had been really kind to me, gave me advice and guidance during my challenging times. You cannot replace a man like this.
