I met Johnny a few months after he opened his restaurant and to the last visit he always welcomed me as family. I remember his children playing in the kitchen and later busing tables as my children grew up going to Johnny's restaurant. Rest in peace my friend and god bless you and your family for all the great memories we shared at Pine Gardens.

I knew John since I was a teenager and I now have three children ( all of which have grown up going to Pine Gardens).My oldest is almost 21 yrs old and came in her carrier with my husband and me, along with my Mom and Stepfather (many times).My other two followed suit. I am deeply,deeply saddened by the loss of John. May God bless Ping and all of their children with peace and comfort.

Mr. Yiu was a kind man. When my Mom was going through her chemo and radition, we would stop in so she could have soup. John would fuss over her to eat and get strong. John will be missed by my family and our community.
