OBITUARY
Milton Wong, a tireless philanthropist, brought a lot to the table

Milton Wong loved working in the kitchen, especially for the feast that he hosted on New Year’s Day for everyone in his large but close-knit family.

He enjoyed bringing people together to share a meal and, with his bottomless curiosity, to talk with them about their passions. “Everyone was important to him and he had time for all of us,” his niece, Joanna Wong, said Monday. “He would see that thing in people that really made them come alive.”
