Obituary

Richard Mao Chou Hong

 

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Mao Chou Hong on July 24, 2020 at the age of 57.  He fought a courageous two-year battle with leukemia and is now at peace.

 

Richard was born in Tainan, Taiwan to Su-Chu Lin and Ching-Shiun Hong(deceased). He attended St. Ignatius High School in Taipei, Taiwan.  In 1986, after two years of mandatory military service in Taiwan, he moved overseas to Ontario, Canada to continue his university education.  He attended the University of Western Ontario and Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, graduating in 1992 with an Associate’s degree in Information Systems.  Richard moved to California in Feb. 1997 to work for Advantech USA selling computer hardware.  His positive outlook, integrity, engaging personality, perseverance and competitive spirit made him a natural salesman and he excelled at Advantech, becoming one of the top earners in the Embedded Computing Group.

 

Richard was a dedicated, honest, hard-working professional and a devoted family man. He enjoyed being active, whether biking, practicing Hapki Do martial arts, golfing, or playing soccer and baseball with his sons.   A fierce competitor, he loved to “clean up the table” while playing pool or poker with his friends and colleagues. Richard was a stylish dresser and enjoyed architecture, art, music and travel.

 

Richard leaves behind his loving wife, Julia Radostits, and two beloved sons, Sebastian and Justin; his mother; and sister, Li-Chen Hong (Sammy) and a large Radostits clan in Canada. Richard will be sorely missed by his family and friends.  In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Be the Match, The Leukemia Lymphoma Society or City of Hope.  A celebration of life will be held at a future date. Special thanks to all the wonderful doctors and nurses at City of Hope and UCI Medical Center for their wonderful care, especially Dr. David Snyder.

    Richard was my manager when I joined Advantech July 5th, 2011. He was certainly a competitive individual but what I admired about him was the way he talked about his kids and wife. He seemed to be a very devoted father and husband, always speaking highly and tenderly about his family.

    Thank you for the support, sharing of life experiences and friendship during our time together. May you rest in peace.

  3. Dear Julia, Justin and Sebastian:
    We are thinking of you during this difficult time! I’m sure your Dad and husband will be truly missed. Although we didn’t know Richard well, I will always remember his story at your wedding where he talked about learning from his Neighbors how to cut the grass. And how it was so important to him that he do it just right – true to his competitive spirit!! For some reason that story has stayed with me over all these years, and I think of it often when I cut my own grass! Treasure the happy memories – they will be with you forever!

    Rest In Peace.
    I met with Richard at Advantech US in 2015. He was very kind and positive for everything.
    I believe he went to heaven and always together with us.
    Thanks! Richard.
