Man was I lucky to call you a friend and colleague, Gregory Yee 余國光. It doesn’t seem like the world should be able to lose a guy with as big of a heart and as much passion for life as you had this soon. You will be so missed. latimes.com/obituaries/sto…

Been reading all the tributes from the folks who knew Gregory Yee 余國光 in both LA and Charleston. We should all live our lives more like him.

Greg brought so much trust, a lot of his wonderful food, and even more laughter to our friendship. So many people are missing him today, esp. in his beloved journalism community, me among them. RIP to a real one.

I talk to a lot of people who deal with our reporters - and they often share their opinions of those folks with me. I’ve never known anyone as universally respected and admired as Greg. Everybody he dealt with considered him a stellar journalist and an even better human being.
