We have had the pleasure of knowing John and Francine since the start of our careers. John and Merv both attended a small Prairie College in Brandon, Manitoba when John's father was a medical practitioner there. We enjoyed and looked forward to each other's company on many occasions at POSNA, SRS and COA meetings for many years when we were all perfect attenders! John was a superb clinician and a leader in Children's Rehabilitation. We visited with them at Rancho when Merv was John's Visiting Prof and marvelled at the good work John and his group were doing. It was such a pleasure knowing and being associated with John and Francine both medically and socially. He made a great contribution to the care of children that improved many lives. He made a difference! Our sympathies are extended to Francine and the family. Per Ardua Ad Astra.....

I worked with Dr. Hsu in the Child Muscle Disease clinic since 1982. He was a caring physician for all his patients following their journey  into adulthood.  He was supportive and responsible for  my career in speaking, writing and networking with colleagues nationally as he education was important to him .  He travelled to speak,  share his experience and experience life in his travels.  I will always  be so grateful of his support.  Rancho Los Amigos National Rehab center will always be his home . May be rest in peace

In loving memory of our beloved cousin, John. In 1990's & 2000's, he & Francine travelled a few times back to Hong Kong & Guangzhou for business & sightseeing trips. He was at one time a Visiting Professor of the Orthepidic Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong & shared his experise & experience with his colleagues in Hong Kong & the Mainland China.
I also accompanied him to visit some of the Hsu's relatives in Guanghou & as one of his twelve uncle was also a medical doctor, they chatted a lot & sometimes until early morning.
On behalf of all the cousins & relatives of the Hsu's family in the Mainland China & myself, pray that you'll rest in peace & in our Eternal Home in Heaven.

John was a wonderful friend and colleague.    We will all miss him greatly.

Many Blessings to Dr. Hsus Family. May God ease Your pain. May You find comfort knowing what a great legacy he leaves behind.

To the only brother I knew, for over 72 years. We had joy, we had fun and we had many seasons in the sun. Thank you for showing me the way. Plane on! May fair winds and following seas be always with you.

I knew Dr. Hsu in the later time of his life.  His kindness, love for his family and humility were always evident.  His career as a physician is impressive, and undoubtedly altered the lives of the many people he touched.  My condolences to his wife and family on the loss of this remarkable man.
