My name is Jefferson Kwong, and I am the only child of my father, Jimmy Kwong.

My father was a great man. And not just as you may know him.

Every day my father proved to me he was a great man.

In the past, my dad owned a restaurant right here in Sacramento called Dynasty Restaurant.
• I was still a young kid at the time, but I remember running around the restaurant.
• I remember my dad was cooking in the back, while my mom managed serving the customers.
• Every time I went to the kitchen, my dad smiled at me.
• I was able to see my parents work together at our own business.
• My father was a great man.

He shopped with me and did home improvement projects with me, even though I might have gotten in his way sometimes.

• One time, we went shopping at The Home Depot.
• We needed to buy redwood 2 by 4’s to build the awning area in the backyard.
• He taught me that you couldn’t settle for lower quality wood.
• He insisted on using all redwood. During the project, I helped my dad put together the supports.
• He even let me screw the structure together.
• One of the supports was about the fall, and he caught it and then let me secure it.
• I appreciated all the times my dad let me help him complete the projects.
• My father was a great man.

After selling the restaurant, my dad worked at Bel Air Supermarkets.
• Sometimes, my mom would take me to visit my dad while he was working.
• I would always see him running around, helping customers and running to the back to get new food.
• I could see how he got along well with his coworkers.
• Every morning that my dad worked, he always left early.
• On his days off, my dad usually took me to visit Bel Air where he worked.
• He just can’t stay away from work.
• He showed me around his department, which he treated like his own business, always making sure everything was perfect.
• I noticed different people from other departments all greeted my father.
• I could see how important my dad was to the company.
• For 15 years, I watched my father’s success in the company.
• My father was a great man.

At home, my dad always loved watching TV. Eventually, my mom and I ended up calling him a couch potato. But still…

My father was a great man. I love him, and I miss him a lot.

Thank you.
