My sympathy to Min, Anne and Andrew as I'm sure the last couple years have been especially difficult, but as time heals keep the good memories.
At work Tao was talented, intense and persistent so when he gave his solution you knew it had been thoroughly checked.
Tao was also personable; when crossing paths it was common to have conversations and joke around some. With Tao I enjoyed volley ball, soccer and the work sponsored social events. Tao's innovative and light hearted nature was displayed at a Goodyear Christmas party when he decided that the cornhole bean bag should be thrown over the building beam before hitting the target.
