Dr. Wong was a scholar; generous and kind in every way, and showing others that a gentle spirit can accomplish much. He was wonderful to work with, and was a great director at Systems Assessment & Research. Though he left the firm many years ago, his contributions and memory are long lasting.

Words can not express the heartache I feel for you and your family. The Steelers and the Pirates lost a big fan. I hope you allow the love around you to help ease your pain.

Kuan, I was deeply saddened and profoundly affected when I heard that your Dad passed away so soon after we ran our 10 miles together. I truly felt a closeness and bonding with you on that Saturday morning as an inspirational and caring teammate and human being, that I already consider a friend for life!!! I'm here for you, as are the rest of your TEAM.

Simin and Kuan - I am so saddened to hear of Henry's passing. I had the pleasure of working closely with Henry at Danya and found him to be the consummate professional and someone who was very committed to his work. More importantly, Henry was a true gentleman and kind person who left a lasting impression on me. It was an honor to work with him. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Simin & Kuan, please know that you are both in the thoughts and prayers of all of us from from the Martin family. We continue to treasure the memories of sharing the boys' various birthdays and other Wong/Collins/Martin get togethers.
