Wing Dot Lum

Wing Dot was one of my and my brother Jon's best friends from 7th grade through college and many years after. Wing Dot taught me how to play badminton, handball, and tennis. I really miss him. He was a loyal friend. I had lunch at the Foo Ying Cafe many times until it caught on fire. Ben Brown

My brother Jon and I were longtime friends of Wing Dot. He taught me how to play ping pong at the Lansing YMCA, and tennis and handball. We also had many racketball games together. Wing was a longtime member of the Lansing Y where we played court games together, and soaked in the spa. Being friends with Wing is one of my treasured memories. We had many lunches together at the Foo Ying Cafe on Washington street. He and his mother wouldn't let me pay. Above the cafe was a huge indoor garden...

I have so many wonderful memories of Wing Dot. He was a good friend of my brother, LeRoy Gmazel, so he was at our home many times while they were at Sexton. I loved going to the Foo Ying Cafe in Lansing, it was a special place. All the Gmazel siblings were together at LeRoy's in WA last week and we talked about Wing Dot and all our wonderful memories of him. LeRoy got a photo of the two of them from high school. I didn't know about his passing until today. Sincere condolences from our...

Oh I am so sorry. I was just talking to someone about Wing Dot a couple of weeks ago. What a delightful, gentle man. Sending prayers of comfort to all who loved and knew him.

My deepest sympathy to his family. I can remember going to the Foo Ying every Sunday after church, eating in a private dining room. When we were leaving Wing would give me and my sister a package of Teaberry gum. Such fond memories.

took my son and daughter to his family restaurant upstairs on Washington Ave. Little booth with beaded curtains . Wing Dot came over and taught my 6 and 7 year old son and daughter how to use chop sticks , made their day , they still remember his concern at the age of 58 and 59. Truly a nice guy.

I am so sorry to hear of Wing's passing. I got to know him when my parents would take me to Foo Ying Cafe. I knew his father better and remember him being a very outgoing and jolly man. My father owned a drug store downtown and I remember him telling of Walter (before his family came to the U.S.) having difficulty getting nylons for his wife due to the war. My father saw to it that Walter had nylons to send his wife in China. I loved the food at Foo Ying and to this day nothing really...

Friend since West Jr. 9th grade. When my son and daughter were 5 and 6 years old I took them upstairs to his family restaurant. A real adventure for them a little booth with beaded curtains To top it off Wing Dot came over and taught them how to use chopsticks. At 58 and 59 they still consider it a highlight . He was some kind and considerate guy.
