John Yengo: Your kindness towards me when I lived in Ithaca, New York will never be forgotten by me! God be with you! With All Respect, Miss Valerie Oval Lecuona, age 54 years

He had a true passion for life and was always so full of life and outgoing. My prayers and my thoughts are with his family. May the God of all comfort provide them with the strength and peace during this difficult time.

Gonna miss you pal

Johnny Joe was a great guy from when I first met him in the ninth grade when he came over to the public school from Parochial. He kept his sense of humor for his entire life, as when I last saw him in 2016. We will miss his smile!

So sorry to read of his passing. I remember seeing and chatting with him often around the commons. May he rest in peace. Keeping his family and friends in prayers

Dear Lillian and family, I am so very sorry to learn of Mr. Yengo's passing. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
Sincerely,

John Yengo worked with me at Ithaca Renting for just under 40 years and many of Ithaca's favorite businesses are in place because of his effort and dedication.

He deserves special credit for bringing the first authentic restaurant with the food of about a dozen nationalities or cuisines and made Ithaca into a cosmopolitan international restaurant scene enjoyed by Ithacans and visitors.

Think of John when you eat in one of these restaurants.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sorry for your loss, here is a memory for your family.
