打从2002年到2009年，将近8年的时光里，庄桂明兄弟是八打灵Taman Plaza 区的熟悉身影。
“我常常见到一位穿的整洁的男士，处惊不乱的慢着脚步，从教堂的一边，越过马路，来到他工作的地方 - 光仁服务中心。”
“ 他通常会坐在店前面靠门的柜台，以他温暖的笑容，欢迎及问候每一位进来的顾客或朋友”。
“数年前，他因为要接受癌症在马大医院的治疗，只得辞去这份工作。”
黄大华神父在桂明兄的安所弥撒中，与众人分享了他与桂明兄交往的一些温馨体验。
“这份笑容，已经是一去不返了!”。
神父也分享了两个月前探望桂明兄时，见到了他的坚强信德，依靠天主的那份信心。”我已经准备好了，只等天主的召叫而已”。 当时他进食也有困难。
这也是我们大家对桂明兄弟回忆。他和蔼可亲，与人相处和睦，深得大家的尊敬及爱戴。
桂明兄与癌症抗争大约四年后，在8/10/2013蒙主恩召，享年72岁，留下遗孀Mary姐妹。他们没有孩子。
超过一百名亲戚朋友参加了在甲洞耶稣圣爱堂早上9：30 am 的安所弥撒，共祭的还有苏瑞恩、黄天赐及李义兴三位神父。
桂明兄在退休后，毅然的奉献自己，到光仁服务中心全职服务。他领取微薄的薪金，只足够支付交通及餐饮费而已。
光仁服务中心是一间由平信徒自资开办的非营利企业，目的是为华文教友提供服务。
桂明兄是一位圣母军辅助团员，所以在弥撒后，所有的在场军友共同诵念了圣母军周会的全部祷文，标志着这是桂明兄在世时的最后一次会议。
祈愿天主的仁慈，桂明兄的灵魂早日安息主怀。阿门。 （更多照片 Facebook）
For almost 8 years from 2002 to 2009, Dominic Chong was a familiar figure in Taman Plaza, Petaling Jaya.
" I used to see this neatly dressed man, in his calm steps, crossing the road from the church (St. Ignatius) to Cahaya Puri Service Center where he worked.
"He would be seated at the front counter, greeting everyone entering with a warm smile ... his trade mark."
"Few years ago (2009), he has to quit his job at Cahaya Puri due to his cancer treatments at the Hospital Uninversity."
Fr. Lawrence Ng recounted his warm feeling of Dominic during his homily at Dominic's funeral Mass at the Jesus Caritas Church, Kepong.
“ We would no longer see this smile again!".
We shared with Fr. Lawrence the same opinion and feeling of our beloved brother Dominic.
Dominic died on 8/10/2013 peacefully at his home after more than 4 years of battle with cancer.
He is survived by his wife Mary. They have no children.
More than 100 relatives and friends attended the 9:30 am Mass, bidding sad farewell to our beloved Dominic. Fr. Surin, Fr. Lucas Ng and Fr. Augustine Li con-celebrated the Mass.
He offered himself as a full time worker at Cahaya Puri Holidngs Sdn Bhd (a.k.a Cahaya Puri Center) after his retirement. He received a small salary which was just enough to pay for his meal and petrol expenses.
Cahaya Puri is a non-profit organization founded by a group of laity to import, produce and distribute Chinese language religious books, magazines, CDs, VCDs, Bibles and reading materials throughout Malaysia.
Dominic was an auxilliary Legionary, full Legion prayer was recited at the end of the Mass, signifying his last meeting on earth.
May his soul, through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace.
