Not sure what to say?

Sorry for your loss. Don was a great man and chef.

My mom, brother, and I always laugh about Don often teasing me about locking the keys in the car. My mom likes to talk about Don's surprise the day that my brother finally ordered a Chinese dish rather than his old cheeseburger. ^_^ We were really bummed when the China Clipper closed and wished we were able to keep contact because you two were always so nice to us. We're sorry for your loss and you're in our prayers and good thoughts. ^_^

Lavita and family, We are so sorry to hear of your dad passing away. Our family had a lot of delicious meals prepared by your dad. Don would stop by and see your dad on his break from Coca Cola and loved to visit with him. Lots of love, Herb and Barbara Iler

I had the joy of working with Don in the 70`s at the Nugget.I also married him for a couple years!He was an awesome guy and a good friend.

My first waitress job was with Don Wai at the China Clipper when I was 17 years old. He was an amazing person with a great sense of humor. He will be greatly missed!

My prayers and blessings goes out the Char. Don was such a wonderful man. You both were very good friends to my parents. I will always cherish the memories of all the family dinners at the China Clipper.

So sorry about your loss of Don. Don was my bowling partner years ago.we use to laugh alot. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Don's passing. Nevada has lost a great man and chef. Condolences to Charlotte and family.

To the Dear Family of Mr Wai: I'm sure "Chef Don" and my father, Victor Tom are sharing pleasant memories of Trader Dick's, and stories of friends and family in peaceful heaven. Our Condolences to you all from the Tom Family.
