Thong Le
September 25, 1946 ~ April 12, 2024

On April 12th, 2014, Thong Le passed away peacefully at home with his beloved wife Nguyet Pham along with all his children and grandchildren at his bedside. Early that morning, the clouds lifted and the angels ushered him to heaven.

Thong and Nguyet have been married for 57 years. He lived in Vietnam for 49 years before moving to the United States. Thong was an official of the Republic of Vietnam during this time. After the Vietnam War, Thong was placed in re-education camp for 7 years leaving Nguyet to support the family. After his release, Thong did everything he could to support his family but it was extremely difficult to survive. Thong made a tough decision to relocate his family to America. In 1995, Thong and his family moved to Dodge city, KS and he later relocated to Salina, KS where he lived the remainder of his days.

Thong was strong willed and stubborn at times, but he also had an enormous heart and wonderful sense of humor. He was generous, loyal, and brave. He was clever and full to the brim with knowledge gained through all of his life experiences. His family was his whole world. He was a man of few words and expressed his love through actions. He will be remembered for all the kindness and love he shared with his family and friends. If you knew him, there would be no doubt that he truly loved you. When his time came, he carried himself with dignity and strength. He will be missed dearly.

Thong is survived by his wife Nguyet Pham. His first daughter Thuy Le, her husband and three daughters. His second daughter Chi Le, her husband and 4 children, and two granddaughters-in-law along three great grandchildren. His third son Quoc Le, his wife, three children and one grand-daughter-in law. His fourth daughter Huong Le and her 3 daughters. His fifth daughter Hang Le and her daughter. His sixth son Long Le. His seventh daughter Linh Le and her husband.
