Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Our family was very fortunate to not only live in the neighbor hood as "Johnnies Market" as we called it . My brothers and I worked for him . He treated our family as his. I learned about hard work , working for him . And will always treasure the time there ! Rest in Peace sir !!

I grew up in the neighborhood served by Johnny and Margaret Yee. Their store, Star Grocery, was an anchor for the neighborhood. The Yees were kind to my parents during difficult times and they lived their values to care for others. My family has never forgotten their care and generosity. Wishing peace to Johnny and Margaret. Blessings to the Fred, Paul and the entire Yee family in this time of grief.

I was fortunate enough to have lived in the neighborhood of Johnnie and Margaret's store. They were such an example of what a family who works together and shares what they have can accomplish. He helped not only my mother but so many other single mothers, seniors, working poor in the neighborhood by letting them run a "tab" for groceries. May God have mercy on your soul, Johnny Yee.

My family lived in the neighborhood where Johnny & Margaret owned the corner market. We are forever grateful for their kindness during difficult times. May Johnny and Margaret rest in peace and may God smile upon them.
