For those of you who are not friends with the Chef on FB, here's Betty's post from Sunday...

"It is with great sadness I announce my father's passing on May 31, 2012. Paul J Fong was an amazing man, who lived life to the fullest. He arrived in America in 1945, but shortly after, his father passed and was left to fend for himself at the age of 13.

My father worked day & night and NEVER stopped. The money he did make, was sent back to his mother in China, even until her death in 2009. My father treated everyone with respect and kindness. He touched many lives and will forever be honored and cherished.

I am forever proud to be his daughter and will do everything I can to continue his legacy at Chef Shangri-la. He is survived by 5 children, 13 grandchildren & 1 great grandchild."

Please keep the Fong family in your prayers & hoist a Mai Tai in Paul's honor in the very near future!

Mahalo!!!!!
