Wing “Vinny” Wong
Wing, or Vinny, as he is known by family and friends, is the uncle of Richard Ning and a veteran who served during the Korean War in Allied-Occupied Germany. He is one of 10 siblings and brother to Richard’s mother, Mary Wong. The Wong family moved around Cambridge several times during Vinny’s childhood, but following his deployment they eventually settled into a home on Upland Road. In 1959, Vinny took a job with the Harvard Faculty Club, which he worked at for over 29 years.
