Dear Dan, Kenny, and Kim:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. We were out of the country when we learned of your loss. The Mormol family has many fond memories of going to the restaurant each Sunday when we were young. Who knew paths would continue to cross years later through the many years of dance. Your family is great, so warm and loving. We are thinking of you a lot at this very difficult time. Love, Leslie, Hesh, Erica, and Ilise Green

Kim, Kenny & Danny,
I was so shocked when Poppa told me tonight that he went to your dad's viewing today. I am so shocked & saddened for your great loss, as, well as regretful that I cannot personally be present to honor the generous man with the gentle soul. I know if Aunt Ruth could, she would want to thank the Yee Family for your gracious love and support to the Wingettes over the last 40++years. He & Siu, with their bright smiles,zest for fun and compassionate hospitality made Aunt Ruth and all of the Wingettes always feel like extensions of the family...My own memories from childhood to the present, Wing made all visits to WINGS special. His true gift, he could embrace all of his patrons in the same manner. Each of you are the great legacy of your wonderful parents. Lifting up prayers to His Light and Care ...Peace,Alison

We are so, so sorry. Since coming to Wing's when we were babies to now bringing our grown children, I can hardly remember a time Wing was not behind the bar greeting us with great warmth. He made it a comforting place, Bexley's own version of 'Cheers"! Your father held a very special place in my heart , and I will miss his big hug every time I came into town. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and hope you have some comfort knowing he is now united with your beautiful mother. Russ, Monica and Carly Carynski

Late summer 1974 my dear mother took me shopping for back to school clothes. To get me to cooperate mom bribed me with a lunch at Wings. It was my first meal of Chinese food and I ordered the Wor Su Gai. Over 30 years have passed and Wings looks exactly the same to me -- inside and out -- the white and black building always conjures a memory of that delicious meal and the special feeling of sitting there with my mom. Thank you Mr. Yee.
