I am so sorry to hear of JY's death. I spent may years working with him at Kitchen Towne, and he was always such a nice, helpful and funny man. So happy I was able to see him at our mini Kitchen Towne reunion a few years back. He still had his wonderful sense of humor and quick Witt. May he rest in peace.....
