Peter Lin

Peter Lin, born on January 10, 1942, in Taiwan, passed away unexpectedly on September 10 2024. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a cherished grandfather. His unwavering dedication and support to his family has been the strength on which his children thrived and is now his legacy.

He always strove to achieve the highest academic accolade even though he came from a humble, disadvantaged background. He studied hard and graduated from the prestigious National Taiwan University with a degree in law. 

Peter's entrepreneurial spirit shone brightly as he ran a successful import/export business, which helped to finance higher level education for his children. His commitment to his family extended beyond financial support; he was hands-on in caring for each and every one of his grandchildren: Elina Thapa, Jonathan Wu, Joshua Wu, Julianne Wu, Jennifer Lin, Kaitlin Lin and Connor Lin. They will forever remember their grandfather’s love and words of wisdom.

After retiring, Peter remained active in his community, engaging in hobbies and interests that brought people together. He taught wai tan kung at local parks, sharing his passion for health and wellness. Furthermore, he self-studied and excelled in practicing acupressure techniques which he freely used to help others alleviate pain – a testament to his generous spirit and desire to carry out good deeds in life.

Peter Lin is preceded in death by his parents, his two older brothers whose memory he held close. He leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and commitment, inspiring many through both his professional accomplishments and his personal life. Peter will be deeply missed by all who knew him. All his dedication to those around him will be forever cherished in gratitude.

His life will be celebrated at funeral service taking place on September 28, 2024, at 9:30 AM at the Forest Lawn - Covina Hills - Memory Chapel in Covina, CA. The family appreciates all the thoughts, prayers, and blessings from everyone near and far. No monetary gifts please- your friendship and love over the years are more than sufficient.
