Tet H. Pang, M.D 1922-2011 A retired physician, passed away peacefully at home on September 19, 2011, at age 89 from complications of Parkinson's Disease. He is survived by his loving wife Anna of 46 years. He will be deeply missed by son Anson (Sue), daughter Amy (Rob) and his adored grandchildren Ryan, Tia, Christopher and Aaron, who gave him much love and joy.

Born in Jesselton, Sabah, Malaysia to Vui Chau Pang and Khyu Sin Wan, he was the eldest of seven siblings. He is survived by brothers Tet Tshung, Tet Chong, and sister Oi Tsu. He was predeceased by his sister Nyuk Tsu and brothers Tet Kong and Tet Fui.

With his generous and compassionate nature, Tet pursued a profession to help people. He graduated from medical school at National Sun Yat-Sen University (China), and completed post-graduate studies at Emory University, New York University and the University of Pennsylvania.

For 25 years, Tet was a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon at Fairview General Hospital (now Cleveland Clinic) in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a dedicated physician who mentored young doctors and cared deeply for the patients in his family practice. He made many late night house calls, and was always there to care for anyone in need.

Friends and family are invited to join us for his memorial on Tuesday, September 27th at 11 AM at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Colma.
