Exactly a year since their beloved manager, founder and benefactor passed on, members of the all-Filipino softball team in Hong Kong set up a memorial page on Facebook to honor Law Wai Ho, who was known to all of them as “Daddy.”
Team captain Don Gaborno spearheaded the tribute,
after visiting Law’s resting place at Po Fook Memorial Hall in Tai Wai on his
death anniversary yesterday, June 9.
In a post during the visit, Gaborno said Law’s
daughter Pamela, who has taken over the task of looking after Fate’s needs,
said: “Life is short, give time to yourself, your friends and your family. Make
it memorable.”

That must have been Law’s motto as well, enjoying his
life’s passion, football, until he died in his sleep at age 92.
Four days earlier, he had his usual Sunday meet-up
with his Fate ‘babies,’ which had become his regular weekend respite since
co-founding the team with Gaborno in December 2012.
Through his support, both morally and financially,
Fate quickly managed to get into the Hong Kong Softball Association League, and
won many of its games that it eventually joined the elite Bracket A category.

Law not only spent for the team’s uniform and
equipment, he also paid the registration fee for them to join the HKSA annual
league. Most importantly, he always made an effort to be with his babies during
their Sunday trainings and games.

Emz Frial, a rabid Fate supporter and scribe, said this of Law on his death anniversary:
It's been a year today since Law Wai Ho, known as "Daddy"
to many, especially to his Fate babies, left us.
 |
| EXTENDED TO JUNE 30!! |
On the first anniversary of his death we have
decided to honor him by sending messages to each other to reminisce how he was
when he was still alive. We hope others who knew him, too, would send us their
reminiscences as well.
His love and passion in sports is the reason why
there is a Fate team in HKSA.

He was such a kind, loving and caring father to his
children among the Fate players, as well as their supporters.
He never pressured his players to win every game,
instead he let them enjoy every time they played.

He was so calm and didn’t like arguing even during
the times that the umpires were obviously biased against Fate. He would just
say, "it's okay, it's okay".
In return, Fate played each game for Daddy, so they
always did their best to win, and make him happy and proud .
Because of his ceaseless effort to support the team
he deserved every trophy and medal that they won at the end of each season.
Daddy, you may not be here with us anymore, but
you're always in our hearts as you played a big part in our lives.
We love you and we will always miss you.”
