  4. Lloyd & Lynn Asp says:

    Our family often ate at Beijing, our children loved the volcano dish, I enjoyed Jerry’s newspaper article with him cutting a carrot so beautifully. I must admit it hasn’t been the same. We were shocked to read in the paper of Jerry’s passing. We are praying for you Judy and your son Johnny. God be with you at this very difficult time.

  5. Katherine Herndon says:

    Judy, I am so sad at finding out about the death or your beloved Jerry. I had the utmost respect for him when I was your inspector. He was always so nice, funny, respectful, and eager to operate your restaurant with the highest standards. My heart breaks for you, Johnny, and his other family members. I was honored to know him for many years and so loved him as a friend. I regret not being able to be friends outside of work. You were always so kind to me in spite of my job. You are among the best people I’ve ever known. Please try to be strong and take care of yourself. I can’t think of you without him. I offer my deepest sympathy. Kathy

  6. Kim Hart says:

    Judy, I hope you remember me…I worked for you and Jerry at Beijing Restaurant except my name was “Kim London” at that time. It was always a pleasure to work with you and Jerry and I’m so sorry to hear about his passing. I pray comfort for you and Johnny during this sad time. My condolences.
