elevated dRQoy Obituary 

elevated dRQoy Paul was born in British Hong Kong, to the loving care of Ip Chung Shu and Minnie Abbas.

elevated dRQoy At a tender age of 16, Paul ventured into the workforce as a private tutor, to simply put food on the table.  Shortly after, his formal career began at a small Hong Kong publication house.  His next employment was a pivotal moment when Paul was hired by a global trading company – Jebson. This was the time, when the country of China was ripped apart in total chaos during the Cultural Revolution.  Without a tint of hesitation, Paul entered the fray of doing business with the Communist Chinese Government for the first time.  As a junior employee, Paul quickly learned about the peculiar ways of selling German-made optical instruments to Chinese government officials.

elevated dRQoy Garnered with tremendous industry experience, Paul seized a new opportunity with an employment by a global German powerhouse – Bayer.  For the next four decades, he had poured his heart and soul with unmatched commitment, from working as a junior clerk, to eventually catapulting at the top of the corporate ladder.

elevated dRQoy Paul had a magnetic and high-spirited ability to reach people with his stories, concerted by quick-witted puns.  Shortly after his retirement, Paul emerged himself with the next adventure of becoming a school bus driver.  A year later, he embarked on his second career as a court interpreter.  For the next ten years, Paul had rendered a consistent display of integrity and commitment.

elevated dRQoy Amidst all his newfound interests, Paul took up the hobby of bread making and crafting his own classic Hong Kong milk tea recipe.  He was also a charming guitarist throughout his life.  With a few of his close friends, Paul put together a band called “The Harmonies”.  For the next several years, the musical group had the delight to perform a wide selection of classical songs at various long-term care homes.  Paul was survived by his loving wife Grace and his son Rudi, his daughter-in-law Alison and his two grandchildren Leonardo and Gracie.
