Tin’s Story

His journey began on April 5, 1944 in Hanoi, Vietnam. He was a devoted husband to Lieu and a loving father to Tung, Tuong, Toan, Phuong-Anh, Hoang, Dung, Thanh and Truong. Tin loved spending time with family telling stories of his days in the Vietnamese air force and his journey as a refugee to America. He had a passion for thrift stores and garages sales and had a wide collection of military collectables and clocks. Tin owned a catering business with his wife Lieu and worked very hard to make sure everyone had their dinner delivered to them by the end of the day even if it meant he had to make a trip back to get the food for someone he had missed. He was kind and welcoming to every person he encountered. Tin was always up for an adventure. He enjoyed traveling, sightseeing, and photography. His favorite place to visit was his homeland Vietnam.

Tin always had a sense of humor. He had a special name for everyone in the family that is stuck to them til this day. He never went a day without cracking a joke, try to make someone laugh, or teasing someone. He had a heart for connecting with others which is why he is loved by so many.

He will be remembered for his joyful spirit and giving nature.

His life was a blessing beyond imagination. He is loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
