Alan S. Wong

One of the best things that I remember about Alan is the advice he gave me when Alan was only a teenager. Duringa high school youth meeting at Cumberland, I encouraged people to pray for help from God in any situation, because God always answers. Afterward, Alan said to me privately, "Don't forget to tell people they need to do their part in helping God answer prayer."

Hello Aunty Rachel, Kimberly and Kevin,

I want to say that it's been years since I've seen you all. Less since I've seen you Aunty Rachel...you and Uncle Alan went to one if not both or our kids' homecoming when we adopted them from China. You are a part of my extended family as I think about the Y and my dad's friends and family. I didn't know you were so devoted to God and to your faith. Why should I be so surprised as many of my Dad's friends from the Y are and were. I have...

When I moved to SF thirty years ago, Uncle Alan welcomed me. When Uncle Alan was at work, he called and asked me "Have you unpacked yet"? My response was "No". Every Sunday before church service, we would go to ABC Bakery to get a cup of coffee and pork bun. After church service, we would go as a group to Kam Lok Restaurant or Capital Restaurant to eat lunch. Uncle Alan got me my first job! It was working at Eppler's Bakery. He wanted me to learn how to become independent and have a...

You remembered I (Bill) met you at Asian Inc. before I joined Cumberland. We will never forget your indomitable and gung ho spirit and the fellowships we had with you, your family, and others at Cumberland. May God bless your soul. We pray for God's peace and comfort for Rachel, Kevin, Kimberly and other family members.

In God We Trust,

Bill and Michelle Quan

Alan enjoyed singing in the choir. We will remember the celebrations the choir had at his home. They were truly memorable - the potlucks and the fellowship along with the singing. May the Lord be with Rachel and the family.

In addition to his tremendous advocacy work in the community, it was very apparent that Uncle Alan enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He was definitely a people oriented person. I miss his friendly and outgoing spirit.

Alan lit a lasting light for so many youths who joined the Club program at the Chinatown Y. Under his guidance, we formed lifelong friendships and experienced character-building events: Youth-in-Government in Sacramento, La Honda retreats, a state conference at Yosemite, going to hear President Kennedy speak, caroling at the Laguna Honda Home, and more. His ever-present gentle, corny sense of humor and extensive photo-taking were part of our experience, too. Thank you, Alan, for...

I Thank Uncle Alan(Dad) for welcoming me thirty years to SF! Thank You for your love, support, caring and laughter to me. You will always be in my heart.

We will miss Uncle Alan and his warm smile and laughter. We remember all the fun times we had singing in choir and on family retreats. We take comfort that he's with the Lord and in a better place. May the Lord continue to give peace to Auntie Rachel, Kim, Kevin, and their families.
