Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss. I began to cry when I reached the part about John dying alone. I worked at the Wa Toy in late 70's and just loved him & his wife. They were very good to me. I am sure he made a positive contribution to many. Blessings

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. May you RIP. I grew up in Goffstown and remember this wonderful person. He was always smiling and so very sweet to me and my family. God Blessed us all for knowing such a sweet man.

Mr.Wah Chin , Thank you for your service RDM Windham NH

My biggest memory of the Wa Toy was when as a kid, maybe 10-12 my parents brought us to the rerstaurant for a Saturday night feast. After the dinner neither of my parents had brought any cash. This was way before credit cards became common. My father offered to write him a check but he pooh-poohed that idera. He just said next time you come in you can pay for the meal. That was over 50 years ago and I stil haven't forgotten it.

I adored John!! Spent a lot of time at the WA Toy in my younger years. He was always smiling and happy!! Thank you for all the great food and great memories!!

It was such a pleasure to talk with John. His ready smile and quick wit always there to greet you. He made me feel just a bit special when he would top off my pina colatta, as I'm sure he did for others. A Dieux!

John,I worked for you for years! Such an amazing man! Beautiful smile and so sweet I always! You always did for others! You will be missed greatly. Prayers for your family! Luv you John!❤❤❤
