Lam Phu of Wenchang, Hai Nam, passed away suddenly but peacefully on 1/28/2021 at his residence in San Francisco of natural causes.
He was born to father Dung Trach Phu of Wenchang, Hai Nam and mother Phuong Tran, in Ninh Hoa, Vietnam on 7/13/1937. He owned the New Vietnam Theater in Vietnam. He was married to Dung Thuc Tang of Phan Thiet in 1966. They had 5 beautiful children, 2 daughters and 3 sons.
In 1982, his sister Qui Thuc Phu and brother-in-law sponsored his family to immigrate to the U.S. After living in Southern California briefly, Lam moved his family to San Francisco. He worked as manager of Four Star Theater in the Richmond District for many years. Light-hearted and happy, he befriended people everywhere he went and was well loved and respected by family and friends all over the world, in the U.S., China, his hometown of Hai Nam, Vietnam, Australia, Europe and Canada.
In San Francisco, he actively served as senior consultant, head of scholarship committee, and Vice President of Hai Nam Association of Northern California (from 1994-1996).
Lam is well remembered by his family and friends as a down-to-earth, easy-going, generous man, with a great sense of humor and adventurous spirit. All who knew him remember him as always happy, smiling, and laughing.
He loved traveling, enjoying tasty food in the company of family and friends, fishing, gardening, collecting antiques, practicing Qi Gong, exercising at YMCA, cooking, and seeing his friends far and near. Everywhere he went, he brought happiness and laughter to people around him.
A loving father, he was always there for his children when we needed him. He attended his grandchildren’s birthday parties, graduation, and music performances whenever he could. His loving presence and happy spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him, especially by his family, children, and grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife Dung Thuc Tang, daughters Manyu Quach, Mimi Ha, and sons Thomas Phu, Johnathan Phu, and Phan Phu, as well as eight grandchildren, whom he adored: Erica Quach, Derek Quach, Megan Ha, Aidan Phu, Brandon Phu, Sophie Phu, Dylan Phu, and Ansel Phu.
Lam Phu’s funeral service will be held at Skylawn Memorial Park on Wednesday, 2/10/2021 from 9:30-11:30. All family and friends are invited to attend via Zoom. We will send out a link before the event. Thank you for your love and support in sending him off to new adventures ahead.
