Not sure what to say?

Sorry to say I will miss the service. Yat Lam was a valued member of the faculty and staff of the School of Musi. His work was always appreciated and his efforts to maintain all the piano's was exemplary. I always valued his efforts to have the pianos ready for performance including coming back to school to retune them during an intermission. He was a dedicated and knowledgeable technigician. Sorry to say I could not attend his celebration of life. My thoughts and prayers are with...

Always liked seeing Yat at our Leisure Time picnics.

My dear Barbara, Jean, Sarah & Marty, Yat-Lam´s love will stay with you, and you´ll be blessed & protected by him always. He´s in Heaven with God, and has reunited with his parents & brother. I´ll be attending Yat-Lam´s "Celebration of Life" in spirit. You´ll be in my prayers!With love, Alannah

With my deepest condolences to The Family, I remember YatLam with love and admiration! He was my brother-in-law. Through Lance, we´ve known each other since we were teenagers. He had always been a quiet, kind, compassionate, hardworking gentleman with a sense of humour.

I am very sad to hear about Mr. Hong´s passing. I met him in 2000, and over more than 20 years, he helped me and many others. He was always kind, generous, and ready to support other technicians in any way he could. He encouraged me to join PTG and guided me in my work, and I will never forget his patience and generosity. I also got to know his wife Barbara and daughters Sarah and Martha. They are warm, kind, and welcoming, and I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Hong will always be remembered.

I´m very sorry for your loss. He provided excellent care for my Steinway B.
