William Wong Obituary
William Wong, aka (Kai Yeh), age 92, beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, and uncle, passed away January 30, 2017. He was born March 20, 1924 in Canton, China.

We will miss Gung Gung, his infectious smile and his thoughtfulness. We were fortunate to have spent time with him during our visits at Keith and Susie's and he treated me and my family like his own. Even at 92, a FaceTime chat with him and Susie were special.
There are many fond memories. I distinctly remember dropping by by Copper Belle before Phoenix Suns games and he always made sure we were fed a good meal. He also sent a weekly Chinese takeout to my parents and the famiily while we were working at El Tango.
Our love and condolences to the William Wong family
Scott, Karen, Akemi, & Christopher.
