He helped at his father-in-law’s restaurant, New Buddha, for many years until it closed. He then worked at Sampan Café and Kona Kai Restaurant. In 1981, he, along with his wife, opened China Boy, a very successful rice noodle business. It was well known for all the delicious foods he made, especially his Beef Chow Foon, a family favorite. Working tirelessly, they ran the business until 2005, when they finally sold the business and retired.

He will be dearly missed by his large family and friends.
