Johnny, so sorry to read about your dad's passing from this earth. He was always so nice to us when we would shop at his grocery store. He was a hard worker and always a class act. You inherited all the good from him. I wish you peace at this tough time. Johnny McDowell

Very sorry to learn of Moy's passing. I knew Moy from WSMR. He always had a good attitude and easy to talk to. He is one of the "good guys" and will be missed. Our condolences to the family.

WHEN I RETURNED HOME AFTER SERVING IN THE ARMED FORCES IN 1956, BROTHERS MAX AND MOY HIRED ME AS A CASHIER IN THEIR SOLANO FOOD MARKET LOCATED ON THE S/E CORNER OF SOLANO DR. AND ARIZONA AVE. THEY WERE THE BEST EMPLOYERS ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE. IN TIME I GOT TO KNOW THEIR WONDERFUL FAMILIES. "MAY OUR GOOD LORD WELCOME MOY INTO HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM WITH OPEN ARMS. "REST IN PEACE MY GOOD FRIEND."
