懷念摯友Bobby佘志偉
2020-02-27
我和Bobby 的友誼可以説是從1961 年夏天開始,我被男拔萃校長委任為學生長,主要任務包括看顧寄宿生,因而結識那時在小學宿舍的Bobby。1963年我離開心愛的男拔萃,我只可以形容我跟Bobby 在那時段的交往為偶遇, 因為我大部份的時間和精力都尊注在培訓田徑隊,而忽略了Bobby 這個比我年輕五歲的沈默小羔羊。
 
十七年後,我首次參加郵票拍賣,坐在前排,發覺幾乎每一項我有意思的郵品,後排都有人和我競投。會後,我嘗試結識這強勁的對手,驚喜地發現,沈默小羔羊搖身變成了彪形大漢;更令我感興趣的,是Bobby 也是橋牌發燒友。當時藉着成功舉辦了城市錦標賽的勢頭,,香港橋牌已邁進了快速發展期,在我多度力邀下,Bobby在1985年加入了香港橋牌會執委會,從此展開了Patrick 及Bobby拍擋的黃金時代。在八零年代,香港橋牌會成功地把香港城市棉標賽,變成家傳戶曉的國際橋牌盛事、舉辦了立法局議員和名人(何鴻燊、鄒文懷、葉麗儀 ...)橋牌賽、引進有影響力的贊助人(徐展堂、匯豐沈弼 ...),Bobby 居功至偉。
1990 年因工作關係,我移居新加坡,辭去香港橋牌會會長職務,與Bobby 的合作暫告一段落。九零年代,公務纏身,罕有機會與Bobby共叙。可幸我於2003年退休後,每次回港多了機會與Bobby見面飯敘,往往樂而忘返。
 
過去十多年,Bobby 及夫人Sherry過着神仙般的生活,時而遊輪旅遊、時而美酒佳肴,閑時呼朋喚友來一場橋牌或麻將較量。令我十分羡慕的是他很幸運,有着一位賢惠的妻子,對他及他的家人照顧得無微不至,讓他無後顧之憂。
大約是去年七月份,驚聞他身患頑疾,但他積極並樂觀面對,Sherry 與他遍訪名醫,接受一切可行的治療,同時也不忘繼續享受人生,這種熱愛生命的態度,感動着他身旁的一班好友。
 
對於Bobby 的離世,我是為痛失良友而感到神傷,安慰的是他已解脱了在世疾病的痛苦,願他安息!
