Not sure what to say?

I too have just recently heard of Adolphus´ passing. What a generous and open man along with Tammy. I went to China with you both in 1978 through the Chinese Cultural Center. You were so fun to travel with and in our group a fresh breath of air. When I returned 6 months later traveling throughout Asia, we got together in your home for dinner. A sort of China reunion! So sweet. So sorry he has passed. Tammy if you want to get together after all these years, we two social workers can share a...

May 4, 2023 I just discovered Adolphus´ passing & am very sad. I knew Adolphus in France while he was in the USAF with my late physician husband & me & our 2 young children. He was single at this time & he came over for dinner & we were great friends. Once when visiting SF, i visited Adolphus & met Tammy & their young baby. My husband passed early at 56 so i visited alone with a couple of my friends who later had to have surgery & picked Adolphus to be his anesthesiologist for his...

Dearest Wong Family, I remember calling Adolphus when my mother Lucia passed away in 1985, how comforting your family was then and close to mine. I have such fond memories of our families together and had such great respect for the Wong's. I am so sorry for the loss of Adolphus, such a great and inspiring man to me when I grew up.

Dearest Tammy, Julia, Andrew, Mimi, and Alexandra,
We were so saddened to hear the news about the passing of Adolphus. We will always cherish his warm smile, friendship, and optimistic outlook on life. We will really miss him. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know if you need anything.

Tammy, During our 20 adult day health years, it was always a pleasure talking to Adolphus at the many social events we shared. He was a very thoughtful and kind man. I have fond memories.
Best to you and the children.

My thoughts are with you Tammy and the Family...
The beauty of the world has two edges
one of laughter,one of anguish.....

To Tammy and Family,

In your time of sorrow, may God give the strength and hope to meet each new tomorrow. Love and prayers, Lester & Nancy Chan

Our sincere condolences to your family. We feel priviledged to have the chance to get to know Adolphus in the last couple of years. He's such a gentle spirit and always had another story about China to share with us. Tammy, please let us know if there's anything we can help.

Beloved Wong family, I share in your grief over the loss of your patriarch. Please know that I am with you all in spirit in this difficult time. We will now have to suffice on memories of his sweet, quirky personality and sensitive spiritual/philosophical gifts and love and appreciate eachother all the the more.
