The Van Nguyen

The’ V Nguyen was born on October 2, 1947 in Viet Nam. Also known as Clement to family and friends, The’ was a happy, go lucky, loving man. In his worldwide travels for work at Xerox, The’ turned acquaintances and colleagues into lifelong dear friends. Anyone who ever met The’ would cherish him for his loyalty, kindness and generosity. The’ was a simple man. He had much to offer to friends and family and yet never asked for anything in return. Love is all that mattered to this simple man.

Retired on May 19, he had plans to barbecue on his chef grill and entertain family and friends on his newly built deck. He planned to travel to far flung places that enrich his soul and feed his desire to experience cultures that he had not known. On July 3, the man who called himself Spartacus lost his fight to live his retirement dreams.
