Not sure what to say?

Billy was my landlord when I lived on Casa St. In the late `70´s and `80´s. I used to pay the rent in person at Me Heng Low, arriving just before closing so that I could enjoy some time upstairs with he and Johnny Gin, sipping shots of "root whiskey" and smoking cigarettes, solving the problems of the world. For many years my apartment was decorated with bean sprout crates from the restaraunt. I loved Billy and his family, and am a better person for knowing him.

Billy Gin was a wonderful caring man and also a great boss to work for. He was always there for me. My condolences to Dick and the rest of family

Enjoyed eating many great meals at Mee Heng Low. Fortunately, I also became friends with the Gin family. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the funeral services. We have lost an important part of SLO history. Rest in peace my friend.

I remember that he always had a smile on his face. He was very generous also as there were many times when he would not allow us to pay our bill at the restaurant. A very kind and generous man. Keep on smiling!
