In 1972, Chiu Lun and their two daughters immigrated to the United States. Kwok Tim and their son joined the family in the US in 1979. Because of language barriers and the love of cooking, Chiu Lun and Kwok Tim became restauranter. They named their restaurant Lucky in Oklahoma City for luck. However, due to language barriers, they had mistakenly added an ‘s to Lucky. The restaurant became Lucky’s and everyone thought that was his name and called him Lucky. In 1999, Chiu Lun and Kwok Tim moved to Arlington, Texas to join their daughter, Harina.

Kwok Tim was preceded in death by his parents and wife, survived by his sisters, Wai Yee Kan and Wai Ping Kan; son, Derrick Kan and spouse Jennifer, daughters Harina Yoon and spouse Justin, Elisa Vong and spouse Johnny; grandchildren, Eric Kan, Stephanie Kan, Amanda Singh and spouse Naresh, Brandon Vong, Joshua Vong, Jessica Vong, Melissa Yoon, Jonathan Yoon and spouse Rachel; great grandchildren Lacey Hayes, Rylan Yoon and Jia Yoon.
