Not sure what to say?

I graduated from Sunnyslope Elemantary in 1969. A few years before that, I'm not certain exactly when, Mr. Wong arrived at the school as our new P.E. teacher and coach. He immediately became a central part of our Sunnyslope community, as he was such a kind and caring man. I will never forget him. Rest in peace, Mr. Wong. We'll miss you.

Mr. Wong was a great girls softball coach for the "Sunnyslope Sluggers" in the late 60's, and the 70's. He & Mr. Hennon drove us around everywhere for games and to get ice cream after the games. He was so dedicated and he even helped get our teams to Disneyland, Sea World, & Mission Beach after the league was over for the summer. He was so good to us. I will never forget how kind you were Mr. Wong. I know you will be missed by so many that you touched through the years. Rest in peace...

I was saddened to hear about Harry. I worked with him in the 60's in the Phoenix Parks and Rec. dept. He was always a pleasure to be around and so much fun. Always giving so much of his time to Sunnyslope softball program. He will not be forgotten.

Harry was a long time resident here in Bonita Creek (Payson) AZ and such a hoot to be around. He was an extremely generous man and so very kind. He loved to grow plants. He has 2 great gardens and all kinds of young trees in pots that he tended to. Quite the green thumb. His smile and warmth will be sorely missed by his neighbors who knew and loved him. Rest in peace my dear friend.

I will always remember Uncle Harry as a kind hearted man.I am grateful for all the good memories. You will be truly missed.

To a one of kind, genuine and wonderful man! Harry was a very generous person that was always willing to lend a hand. He was a proud man and worked hard to accomplish his dreams. It was an honor to have you in our lives. You will be truly missed!

Harry Wong's smile will be missed by many, I'm sure. I was a young student at Sunnyslope Elementary when Harry was PE Teacher for the boys and he always helped out with the girls' sports teams, which were the best in the City at that time. He always seemed so happy and fun-loving and has always been remembered fondly. What a great time in life....Rest well, Mr. Wong.

I will miss you uncle Harry.
