OB Accountant Salvator "Sas" Sayong dies in New Jersey
JAN. 10, 2003: Alita Sayong regrets to announce that her husband Sas passed away at 3:30 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 9, at the Robert Woods Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J.
He suffered a brain stroke before Christmas. He was 70 years old and served in Laos as an Operation Brotherhood accountant from 1960 to 1962.
Sas was an energetic member of the August 2002 Mekong Circle reunion in New York City. He and Alita were very gracious hosts (three times) at their residence in New Jersey for the reunion committee's monthly meetings. He had plans to pitch camping tents on his spacious, rolling backyard for Mekong Circle attendees who could not find hotel rooms during the reunion.
At the San Francisco reunion in 2000, he took it upon himself to offer New York as the next site. He was grandly rewarded by winning two prizes at the dinner party cruise aboard the Paddle Wheel Queen -- one for the most grandchildren (4) in attendance, and the other, for the most family members (7) in attendance. They, and we, will deeply miss him.
