I consider myself so very fortunate to have had Foo as my boss, while working in Customer Services. I was the new kid on the block. He gave me encouragment, knowledge, wisdom with grace and a smile.



My deepest sympathy, Susan

Mr. Wong gave me an opportunity to become one of his team with the Customer Service group of the San Francicsco Post Office in 1974, where I stayed until 1980. I am indebted to him for his tutilege and guidance. My prayers go to Roberta and his family at this time. He gave several people a chance to develop their careers. He provided the opportunity for others to exceed.

I'm certain Mr. Wong passed over content in knowing he brought joy and love to this world, and was able to share his life with such a wonderful family. Warm hugs to Barry and Brad...take heart my friends...he'll always be with you! xoxoxo ~Andi
