Tuong "Ted" Phan, of Holly Hill, 76, passed away on Wednesday, March 5th, 2014. Ted, a Vietnamese refugee, immigrated to Florida with the help from First Christian Church of Daytona Beach in 1980 with his wife "Tai", grandmother "A Thai" who passed in 1993, and 8 children. Ted and Tai were married for 51 years. Ted was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather who worked tirelessly sometime with 2 and 3 jobs to help raised his family so his children can fulfill their American dreams.
