Not sure what to say?

I still think of Herb often. He was the sweetest man. I miss you, my friend. -skyler

Herb was a good friend. I remember one particular summer that I spent a lot of time with the family. I golfed with Herb with the club and at Black Butte. I enjoyed time with the family at Black Butte and at their home. Herb was a very gracious and generous person. That was a great summer!

Uncle Herb was the only dentist I went as a kid through adulthood until he retired. He's also the only dentist that I knew that would give kids candy. "Good for business" he would say with a smile. One of the kindest men I've ever known. Great friend of the family, especially to my dad. My condolences to you Auntie Eileen, Mary, Julie, and Chrissie.

Dr. Wong was our family Dentist, a good freind and I also had the pleasure to work for him for 16 years until he retired and that was a hard thing for him to do. He enjoyed all of his patients and always made time if they had a problem. He will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family.

Dr. Wong was my dentist from 1976 to the day he retired. He told me that he loved being a dentist and it was obvious that he meant it. His office was a happy place and I will always feel fortunate to have known him for so many years. My condolences to the family.

I had the pleasure of working for Dr. Wong as a receptionist in 1976, and then he became our family's dentist for many years. He was a fine man--so proud of his daughters-- and a fine dentist. Every once in a while he'd treat the staff to donuts and coffee from Bales. This was a big deal. He got a real kick out of how happy this made us!

Our condolences to the family for your loss. Herb was a good friend to my family for many years.

Dr. Wong was the only Dentist that would make us laugh while working in our mouths. And, that was very hard to do! Our prayers and love are with you.
