Dear Editor,

Please send my deepest condolences to Tony Sassi’s family on his demise.

I am Wong Loke Hoi from Malaysia Kuala Lumpur .

I met Tony Sassi in 1974, 47 years ago when he employed me as a part-timer, to work in his restaurant in Melbourne.

I worked with him for five years and came back to Malaysia after my graduation.

When I found out that he had moved to Port Douglas, I planned to pay him a visit, but unfortunately due to the Covid Pandemic, I have had to defer the plan.

I will always remember and cherish the wonderful time when I worked with him and all his staff in his two restaurants in Melbourne.

- Wong Loke Hoi
