I am very sorry to have learned my friend Ted had passed away. We shared 20 or more years of great and spirited talks on jewelry, investments and the art of just living. Ted often called me to see what I had for breakfast. Semper Fi Ted...

Cyril Yezdan,
I was a part-time college student who worked for you Fridays at the Furniture Mart in San Francisco. You represented Paoli Chair Co. I always enjoyed your stories of your family in Fresno. I always wondered how you were doing as I passed the Mart or drove through Fresno. I am sorry about the passing of your dear brother. I see that you still have family to care for each other and to maintain the heritage that you were so proud of. Bless you and your family at this sad time.

Sincerely,
Beverly Chan Ng
