The James Yao Wiki

This Wiki web is being set up to collect stories about Jim Yao as well as to collect useful information for those who suffer from Parkinson Disease as Jim does. Jim's wife Anna passed away in 2006; there is a Wiki web site set up to celebrate her life.

Also take a look at http://squarearts.com which is Jim's site for his paintings and paper foldings.

In August (2007), Jim (with help from Tina, Tim, Kristiana and Sunny) gave a wonton folding class at the Benedale Center.

December 23, 2009: Jim Yao passed away at home at the Benedale Center (under hospice care) with his son Tim, daughter-in-law Nan and granddaughter Kristiana holding his hands. Here is the draft obituary.
