Dear Wong family,
I am sad to hear we have lost Barry. Annie and Barry were wonderful people. I have known them for many many years living here at Marina Point Condominium in Marina Bay. I miss coffee with Annie and the Marina gals in the mornings at Creme & Sugar, it will never be the same without them all. Barry was a cool guy, and I enjoyed talking to him.
I am so sorry for your loss, words, however kind, can't mend your heartache. I hope you can find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends at this sad and difficult time. Barry will be surely missed at Marina Point.
My Sympathy goes out to you and your family.
Kind Regards,
Colleen A. B. Russo

Mr. Wong,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Naval Construction Battalions during WW II. The Seabees built airbases, advanced bases, ports and helped to develop and improve advanced naval anchorages in both the Pacific and European Theaters and whenever they had to they ready to put down their tools and pick up a weapon to fight as well if the had to. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
