CAPA Announcement

(02/12/2011)

Dear CAPA members,

We are saddened to inform you that Dr. Hoom-Bin Lo (羅鴻炳博士) passed away in Houston on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, after a long and brave battle with lung cancer. Hoom-Bin was one of the founders of CAPA, as well as a best friend and a multi-term EC member since the beginning of our association.

Hoom-Bin was graduated from the Geology Department of the National Taiwan University in 1968, later a TA at NTU, and received his PhD in geology from West Virginia University in 1977. He was with Exxon Production Research Company for 20 years until his early retirement in 2000. He was well known for his significant contributions to the advancement of petroleum geochemistry. In addition to his various EC tenures, Hoom-Bin was instrumental in establishing CAPA's communication and computer network. Hoom-bin also served as executive secretary for OCESTA in 1988-1989, as a board member and treasurer for NTUAAH (休士頓臺大校友會) for many years, and was very active in other community associations, such as the Hakka Association of Houston (休士頓客家會).

He will be remembered not only as a loving husband, father, and an inspiring teacher, but also as a great CAPA contributor for his devoted services and pioneering work that path the way for today's CAPA.

He is survived by his wife, Cecilia, and daughter, Tiffany Lo.

Hoom-Bin's memorial service will be held at
3:00 PM, Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Memorial Oaks Funeral Home Chapel

Sincerely,
Yu Li, CAPA President and
Xingong Li, CAPA BOD Chairman
