Lu, Zhuen

父亲吕主恩因病医治无效，于2020年9月13日在加拿大首都渥太华家中安然地离开了我们，享年82岁。 吕主恩1938年7月4日出生于江西省上饶市，20岁参加工作，成为一名火车司机。随着中国铁路建设的发展，父亲从浙赣铁路线开到皖赣铁路线，过着铁路职工半军事化的生活。带着家人先后安家江西上饶，贵溪，乐平和景德镇。父亲工作任劳任怨，勤勤恳恳，年年被评为路局先进工作者，我们家也多次被评为路局五好家庭。 父亲是位运动健将，喜欢踢足球，打篮球，打乒乓球，打羽毛球。年轻时是铁路足球俱乐部的成员，多次代表南昌铁路局参加铁路俱乐部的足球比赛。 随着火车，父亲走遍了皖赣铁路沿线的大小城镇。在工作之余，备班期间，池塘边钓鱼，小河里摸虾，山间拔笋，采集各山珍野味。父亲热爱大自然，深深地爱着赣东北的那片山，那片水。 1999 年父亲来到加拿大，2000年定居渥太华。父亲热心社区服务，近十年来把加华服务中心当成了自己的第二个家。开开心心的在加华服务中心做义工。 父亲是位勇敢的钢铁战士。面对疾病，哪怕只是10%的希望，也不放弃，积极治疗。决不后悔。父亲是位乐观主义者，坦然面对死亡，积极认真地过好每一天。 爸爸，一路好走，天堂安息 [蜡烛][蜡烛][蜡烛]
