Good men die young. It is not fair! I met John in April 1988 and found him not just a mad scientist. He is a mad computer nuts! I remember we spent sleepless nights in his neurosurgical department office in KWH, figuring out how to use Public Domain Software to print Barcodes with dBase II, in order to help him write his clinical documentation ...more

My most vivid memory of Dr Kwok was in year 2000 when we started to develop the electronic Patient Record (ePR). Not many people know that he was one of the 3 doctors who designed the landing page of ePR with the classic tree and 5 boxes. Today, we look at the informative ePR first page and took it for granted that this is what it should always h...more

Dr Kwok is the most respectful neurosurgeon I have ever met .... Still remember what he taught me when I attended his cases at Kwong Wah Hospital 😢 Rest in peace

Joining in with everybody else on this page to reminisce your big heart and lively spirit. Our paths met when I was rotated to KWH Neurosurgery as a junior surgical trainee. I still remember you were such a skilled surgeon, gentle to all and down to earth, and always at the forefront of neurosurgical technology. May you rest in peace and be surroun...more

Being Dr Kwok's patient, I was very lucky to be introduced to him five years ago. As a highly praised Neurosurgeon, Dr Kwok's patience, care and professionalism impressed me and my family. His confidence and warm reassurance gave me the hope that I needed to face my unexpected health challenges. We are very sorry that he is gone but we hope that he...more

Thank you Dr John for checking my dad when he was not feeling well in those time and also for the music that we play together.. You are such a passionate Doctor, Musician, a loving husband and a father. May you rest in peace..

由於加入了東華三院董事局，認識了郭醫生 Dr. John Kwok 轉眼間超過二十多年。在我的眼中，郭醫生為人厚道，仁心仁術，是一位我十分敬重的杏林高手。 雖然他離我們而去，但他的愛己及人、無私奉獻、關顧病者的精神將會永遠存於我們心中。 希望他離開凡塵，到一個只有歡樂，沒有痛苦的樂土，願他的肉體和靈魂得到安息。也祝福他的家人，離開傷痛的日子，継續過幸福愉快的生活。 東華三院甲申年董事局主席 陳耀莊律師

I share Department of Neurosurgery, KWH’s loss and mourn for the passing of Dr. Kwok. Though I never got to know him well, his big heart and devotion for KWH stamped his horseshoe like a stallion in my heart.

I cannot believe what I just read!! It feels rather devastating and it happened so suddenly. I met you a few times at KGV and I was in Year 11 while Jonathan was in Year 7, I was part of the LSC too. When we first met, you thanked me for looking after Jonathan and that showed you were grateful of my help and that made me very happy. I am so glad...more

I will never forget all the teaching you gave me during my short one month attachment at your unit 10 years ago. You have been inspirational in my decision to persue Neurosurgery for my career. Rest in peace Dr Kwok.

Dr. John Kwok was a legend... in my memory I could smell a strong cologne to cover a pleasant cigarette smell... I could feel his wonderful fingers on the key of piano... I could hear his great songs when played guitars on the stage or in band room... I could feel his passions when helping to collect medications for his patients in our pharmacy... ...more

My deepest condolences to Grace and all family members.May the Grace of our Lord bless you all and may He embrace Dr Kwok and let him have eternal peace.

Thank you John for being such a great friend & doctor to the Woo’s family. Though we are separated temporarily, we will reunite one day in heaven. You lives forever in our hearts.

Too shocked to write much now but I have known John for half my life. That was my good fortune! A GREAT guy , friend & colleague. Take good care , Grace, Val & Sean.

May you rest in peace John🙏🙏

I had a long , fruitful and memorable association with John Kwok and had joined his department in April 1991, until my retirement in Dec.2007. If it was not for the inspiring and pleasant company of this multi-talented and indefatigable john, I may not have been attracted to the Neurosurgery in KWH. Whether on duty/on call or not , he was alway...more

Dr John Kwok is also a pioneer of endovascular neurosurgery in Hong Kong, and Asian Australasian Federation of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology. I am fortunate to be able to spend time with him and follow his path to serve HK and AAFITN. Dr Kwok will always be remembered for his kindness and hard-cored spirit. My deepest condolences an...more

Kind, creative, and one of my favourite duet buddies on the keyboard, Uncle John has always brought me so much joy, encouragement and peace of mind growing up. Thank you for spurring me on with my studies, for telling me that I do know my neurology (even though we both know I really don’t), and for believing in my abilities when even I wouldn’t sti...more

It is with great loss and sorrow that I hear about the sad news, but my memory of John will always be one of joy, fun, and incessant energy. I got to know John when I became the Hospital Chief Executive of Kwong Wah Hospital in 1995. We set up the marvelous Neurosurgical Centre in N7 with state of the art operating theater and the first navigationa...more

I firstly met Dr. Kwok since starting my career in KWH family, after my university graduation in 1993. We lastly met and chatted... also in the ward... Although he felt sick, he still came to me and shared a link of a funny and challenging online game, and more, his warm smile. Dr. Kwok, a great man, you are always in our hearts.

John was one of my most respected colleague in HA, a gentleman of honour and multiple talents. I still remember his water colour paint of his dream CT attached theatre, which became a reality during KWH renovation and first of its kind in HK. John spent more time in the hospital than outside during the difficult years with a thin team yet amazing...more

Dr. Kwok, you are the great mentor for my career, IT vision and my being as a KWH-er. May you RIP.

Such a great and talented doctor with enormous passion, we miss you!

We were truly saddened to hear of John passing, his compassionate nature as a doctor was so refreshing he cared and it showed, we will always be thankful for the excellent service he gave to all his patients, and our prayers and blessings to all his family

Dr. Kwok, my friend, my mentor. A legend, who dedicated his life for the hope of patients. A talent, relentlessly contributing till’ the last moments. An ironman fearless of what was imminent.

Dr. Kwok is so dedicated to his profession and patients. A caring and holistic doctor I have ever met. May his soul rest in peace in heaven ! God bless his beloved family!

Dear Dr Kwok, N7 was nearly always the last OT to end when I was an anaesthesia trainee. You may not know many of us regarded you as our savior cos you were an indicator telling us when we could go home. You gave us light during those long operations which seemed to be endless . Once you appeared in N7 all operations would be done smoothly and cou...more

Dear Dr Kwok, you will always be remembered. You were our model as a dedicated, passionate and innovative doctor. You also impressed me as a loving parent, talented musician, intelligent scientist and warmhearted big brother. Words cannot express our sorrow of losing you, a significant member of KWH big family. May you RIP.

尊敬的郭醫生，你的仁心仁術永遠、永遠存在我的心中｡能有機會在手術室中協助你去拯救病人，是我一生的福蔭！！

My Dear John Letter: John, I was in shock when I heard that you have left us yesterday to go to a place far far away.

I was very disappointed but I knew that you wouldn’t miss a chance to be with ...more

二零一一年初起，作為廣華醫院行政總監的我，幸甚能和郭正光醫生之後有着六年半緊密合作的光景。 每次遇上昂藏七尺、氣宇軒昂的郭正光醫生，他總是結着一條實而不華的紅色領吠，跟一位風度翩翩的英國紳士無異。 作為腦外科醫生的他，醫術精湛，無論是病人、病人家屬、同事、東華三院董事局、醫務科等，對郭醫生都推崇備至。廣華醫院好像是郭醫生的第二個家，天天形影不離，只要有病人需要他的時候，何時何地他也一定會秒速出現。 郭醫生要找我的時候，我從不怠慢。我們要談的事情多得很；廣華醫院重建項目的大小事宜、部門相關的人和事、血管造影手術室待更換的昂貴儀器採購選項細節、如何爭取醫管局批准他的基礎性嶄新研究項目、退休後繼續服務廣華醫院的安排⋯⋯ 郭醫生雖然資歷深厚，在廣華醫院...more

Dr. Kwok is known to me as a dear friend, a creative doctor, an energetic researcher, and a fearless patient.

Internationally renowned for his pioneering work in Endovascular Neurosurgery, Dr John Kwok was a true Renaissance man of many talents spanning the fine arts, music and our specialty. We will greatly miss his witty operative anecdotes which he would share during our combined weekly breakfast meetings in KWH and QEH. The memory of his generous spiri...more

We miss you, Dr. Kwok, a great, respectable surgeon.

I was indeed privileged to have the opportunity to learn from Dr Kwok in KWH during my Neuroradiology training. Dr Kwok taught me that achievement is empty if we do not help those in need. He will be fondly remembered as a great teacher, and a man who did great work for the medical profession. My deepest condolences to the family.

Dr Kwok, really miss your enthusiasm towards your beloved patient care, technology advancement, always positive attitude, your great insight and your love for medical professions. Rest in peace!!

You would never get bored if you had worked with Dr Kwok before. He was so innovative and energetic. Apart from talking about his passion and expertise in Neurosurgery, as a IT fans, you would be amazed how much he knew about programming, 3D rendering etc, while being a respected and experienced neurosurgeon at his generation! He once showed me how...more

I begin working in Kwong Wah Hospital as an obstetrician since 2005 & meet Dr. John Kwok from time to time. Later on I found that we are both St. Paul's College old boys, of course, I am much junior. One day Dr. Kwok asked me whether I can get some placentae for him. I wonder why a neurosurgeon would be interested in placenta. I feel ashamed after ...more

Dear Uncle John, may you rest in peace in the arms of the God. May god bring you freedom. May holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now in the paradise. You are always in our hearts and our thoughts.

郭醫生是一位仁醫，他對病人之正面態度，使每一位病者都有力量去面對慢長之康復過程⋯我現在行醫之路也以郭醫生為榜樣！永遠懷念您！

Dr Kwok was like Dumbledore to me when he appeared in the theatre when I was a trainee nurse in neurosurgery. Whenever there were complicated cases, he showed up. I still remember his voice saying “ Where’s my momo (kind of haemostatic agent named by him)” with his special funny attitude. Dr Kwok, he was a decent, respectable and wonderful gentlema...more

Rest in Peace, John. We'll miss you !

It is my fortune to work with you in the period of 2012-2016, and spend many Saturdays doing research in the Kwong Wah Hospital and HKUST. Your creativity and innovation, in many ways, was amazing, and your ability to raise research funds was remarkable. I’ll always remember you. May you Rest in Peace.

Your relentless dedication to your work and friends with stay in our memory and well remembered. May your spirit keep on enlightening us......

Dr Kwok, I am deeply impressed by your enthusiasm and dedication towards everything. I am sure your impact will stay with all of us for a long long time.

Dearest John ❤️ 我以為我有足夠的心理準備，我以為我能理性地接受，但當道別的一刻真的來臨了。。。 時光飛逝，你從廣華趕來夏宫與Grace初次見面的場面歷歷在目、你在友馬說要和嘉麗組織一個小家庭言猶在耳、你們在婚宴上合唱 All I ask of you 記憶猶新。。。去年十二月和你們慶祝結婚二十六周年紀念、今年二月為你慶祝六十九歲生日，你仍是神采飛揚，談得投入，吃得開心 — 不知不覺我們已相識相知近三十年，一起細味了人生路上的甜酸苦辣，享喜樂、渡哀怒，情同手足。 事業上你選擇了腦神經外科，對醫學界無私奉獻一生，造福社會，積福積德。好人有好報，你也獨具慧眼，當年在百忙中仍認準要娶才貌雙全的Grace為妻，展开追求攻勢；婚後育有Valerie 和 Jon Jon 一對寶貝兒女...more

I have enjoyed working with them so much that I have always wanted to subspecialise in neuroanaesthesia. I remem...more

I know Dr Kwong during my rotation in KWH, being inspired by his enthusiasm and dedication on neurosurgery and technology.

印象: 當年，夜闌人静，半夜三更，你也是同一模樣，臘亮髮式、打着領帶、官仔骨骨、温文有禮，來到兒腦外科收新症。 盼望: 每次大巡日，手術前後的病兒父母、護士們，見到你的來臨，什麽事都解決了，很有滿足感及安心。 亮點: 無論何時何日，廣華每一角落，院外你的朋友，有你在，便是無限亮點。 這皆是你，我們尊敬的郭醫生，永遠懷念你。

John： 生命苦短，但活得精彩又何妨！ 往事點滴湧上心頭，該是三十多年的回憶吧。 你真的是我輩的奇葩，對工作，對朋友，對病人，無一不是全情投入。還記得嗎，我們一起勾劃腦科中心的未來，「內外」合璧，合作無縫的時光嗎？你埋首在你的高科技創作，我沈醉在電生理檢查室的工作，我們互相交流切磋，啊，我懷愐着那夢想奔放的日子。 還記得我們另一個合作組合項目嗎？我作提名人，你作侯選人，結果你當之無愧地拿下了「全港十大傑出青年」獎，我也領了「 提名」獎。 還起得，我們一起參與東華音樂會，你是合唱團的指揮，我是合唱團的成員，對！就是那兩首歌「明天會更好」和「一點燭光」。 John, 現在你離開我們了，是捨不得，可是，你放心，你的「一點燭光」，一直燃點着，照亮著無數生命，世界會因你變得「明天會更好」！ 我常想...more

正文 【冬陽天地】一代仁醫 2020-04-24 梁冬陽醫生 最近我們的好朋友腦外科專家郭正光醫生被召回了天堂，我堅信他是上天派來的天使，完成了在凡間的使命，接受新的角色和任命。 我們一家同郭醫生相識相知四十餘年，他是我先生最好的朋友，親如兄弟，四十多年前一齊在異國他鄉讀醫，回到香港是在廣華醫院工作的好拍檔。 當年的廣華醫院腦外科醫生寥寥可數，郭醫生一手在腦外科部門開創了香港電腦導航神經血管手術的先河，在一個部門才只有一部電腦的年代，他用自己的工資將整個部門裝上電腦，將病人的資料電腦化，醫管局的電腦資訊科技系統他有份組建、更新，醫院才是他的家，長期在醫院連續當值，簡直是鐵人，可以一直不眠不休不食，老遠你看見一個六呎多的身影穿永遠是短兩吋的白袍（因他實在太高）一陣風地飄過來，又一陣風...more

認識John是四十多年前的事，當時大家失落港大醫學院，一同在理學院暫泊，在利瑪竇堂混混，每天早上，如果上堂，走出宿舍，John 一定說，向右上課的－勁雞（醫學院及瑪麗醫院在西面），向左的 …..，所以他用盡一切，他認為有用的方法，做一隻勁雞，包括向理學院院長，大學校長黃麗松請求他們寫推薦信，推薦他去愛爾蘭 RCSI 讀醫，院長及校長都有客氣說一些鼓勵的説話，但未知有沒有認同我們給他的別號－神經七（在我們的年代，有一個很红的傻笑西片名星，番號叫神經六）。 做勁雞的決心上了腦，不時發燒，一眾凖醫生宿友，投入所知藥石，但都無靈，最後，大家知道他想做一個揸刀的勁雞，就送了一套手術針缐，著他在棉被上做物理治療，果然針到病除！ 在利瑪竇堂，John 不是一個小混混，憑其音樂天份，為各大 Party ...more

My deepest sympathy goes out to Dr. Kwok's family and friends as he will be deeply missed. I was honoured to have Dr. Kwok as my neurosurgeon 10 years ago. He was truly a blessing in my life.

平易近人的Uncle Kwok, 每當小兒彈奏起你送給他的電子琴，你們昔日夾band 的那一幕便浮現在我們的眼前，一切仍瀝瀝在目，仿如昨天。 我們認識之初，怎樣也沒想到，如此一位醫術精湛的Doctor Kwok, 竟然也是一位音樂發燒友。更讓人喜出望外的，是你這般忙碌，竟然也對流行音樂瞭如指掌。當日你跟小兒邊唱rap歌，邊做手勢的鏡頭，簡直讓人拍案叫絕! Uncle Kwok, 你從心底裡對小兒的關懷，你的温文爾雅，文質彬彬以及你的天文地理知識，對社會世情的關注及洞悉，讓Daniel對你欽佩不已。 如今，那美好的仗你已經打過了，當跑的路你已經跑盡了，美好的冠冕神已經為你存留了。今天我們的暫別，只會讓我們更懷念你。但你留下的氛芳也會滋潤曾認識你的人，在我們的人生中添上色彩。 Uncle...more

It seems so unfair that someone who has been so dedicated to saving the lives of others should be taken away from us all in this way. But if there is any consolation it is that John led such a full life, achieved so much, and helped and touched the lives of so many people. The world has truly lost a very special person. On a personal note, John ...more

John was a compassionate and highly regarded neurosurgeon who will be sorely missed by his colleagues, patients and families. John was our wonderful cousin from miles across the ocean. Over the years, our grandparents and aunts who lived in Hong Kong had leaned on John for their health care needs that he selflessly provided. John was someone we co...more

John Kwok Multi-talented Musician and Composer John served as Music Committee Member in the 1973-74 Ricci Hall Committee. He co-organized the ‘Folk-on-Hay’ concert and barn dance in 1973. He composed the class song for the Medical Class of 1977, which they sing at every Class Reunion. While a greenhorn, John composed a Ricci Spirit song that he sa...more

John was a brillant doctor, a caring father, a loving husband, a great musician and comedian. His simple but interesting explanation of complicated diseases was ever so fascinating. We will miss you. From Michael Mak and Kitty Mok

John Kwok Designer, Co-ordinator and Organiser In 1972 at the Ricci Hall Open Day, corridor 77-84 won the prize for the Best Decorated Corridor with the theme of Nature’s Alley where we decorated all the walls and doors with vegetation and tall grass to make it look like you were walking through a jungle trail. It was John’s idea and vision and w...more

Today we say Goodbye to Uncle John. The world will long remember a Genius Neurosurgeon, a Mentor, a Musician. But those of us who loved him, and ache with his passing, know Uncle John by the other titles he held: A loving husband to Aunt Grace, doting father to Valerie and Jonathan. And to many, as a caring friend. Uncle John is a GENTLEMAN in...more

John Kwok Unpredictable, Unconventional and Unique I first met John on the day that I entered Ricci Hall for the Orientation programme in the last week in September of 1972 and was assigned to room 79 in the greenhorn corridor of 77-84. After I put my belongings in my room I got ready to familiarize myself with the lay-out of the Hall, I walked ...more

John Kwok Inventor or Mad Scientist John and I were old school classmates from St Paul’s College since 1970, studying for matriculation. John was very talented and always had new ideas. One day, he told a few of us that he wanted to build a gun. Nobody believed that he could do it. Three months later, John showed us a gun that he had assembled by...more

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Uncle John. Uncle John inspired me to enter the field of neurology/ neuroscience. I remember joining Uncle John's ward round and OT session at KWH when I was a medical student. He was such an experienced neurosurgeon with so much compassion to his patients, and always so keen to teach. I will miss him dearly. T...more

崔顥：黃鶴樓 　 昔人已乘黃鶴去， 此地空餘黃鶴樓。 黃鶴一去不復返， 白雲千載空悠悠。 晴川歷歷漢陽樹， 芳草萋萋鸚鵡洲。 日暮鄉關何處是， 煙波江上使人愁

Still remembering the time you stand with me, finishing the urgent EEG for one of your patient. Rest in peace 郭大俠!謝謝您的教導。

John Kwok Master Chef and Cook One of the subjects that John and I studied in University was Zoology. One day after a dissection session, I went back to Ricci Hall. In the evening, John mysteriously came into my room and asked me to go the rooftop of the Hall. I saw the dead body of the rabbit that we had dissected that afternoon. John was going ...more

Hey John Aren’t you proud of yourself? Enjoy your new chapter in Heaven! Cheers 🥂 Ruby

Dr Kwok is my saviour. I am alive since 1999 because of his remarkable head surgery he preformed on me after my unfortunate traumatic brain injury. I still remember his smile as he would come to the rooms once every few days for patient check up. His jolly yet professional charisma is something I will never forget. I am fortunate to have met...more

Death is so cruel. Dr Kwok saved so many from it, including my husband, twice. But he couldn’t save his own. My condolences to his family and friends.

Even though only met several times in casual social gatherings but so much impressed by Dr. Kwok's frank and positive aspirations to new friends and his passion for music.

Dear John, we will always remember you , your beautiful memories, we will forever honor you and pay tributes you deserve and wish you keep rejoicing in the vast kingdom of Almighty God.

Every time I pass by Waterloo Road and see the emerging glamorous new building of Kwong Wah Hospital, the memory of John would come up - our multi-talented old friend who was equally brilliant in contributing vision to this monumental redevelopment project of the hospital he called home. John, your dreams are indeed being realized step by step!

Hi Boss, I hope this message finds you well. Could you please share your thoughts on how we might tackle the current problem & settle it ? I feel a bit stuck and, despite my best efforts, I haven't received any help or advice from the team.
