The NPR “memorial” is really touching. Rest in peace Quan Chu. And my heart goes out to his poor wife who not only is still injured but lost a constant companion and love in her life.
It makes me so angry. I hope they catch the bicyclist who committed this crime. He probably had no clue what the ramifications of his thoughtlessness and rudeness would be.
