Kham was a great neighbor and a very special friend. He had the best smile and a very infectious laugh that always made everyone happy. He shared his dreams of going home to Thailand and taking all his possessions and setting up a speed shop for autos as well as raising cattle. He loved his homeland and was looking forward to retiring and going back. He was great to talk to and he always had a cold beer for his friends. Kham I’m sure your in a better place and shifting through the gears of a really fast sports car or sailing on a beautiful clear lake and loving your family that past on before you. Take care my friend…..safe journey.
Kham was a good friend to our son, Ken. We met him when he invited us to a fantastic barbecue at his home one time when we were visiting our son & family. He was such a sharing, friendly, cheerful man. He will be missed.
I have worked with Kham for many years. You were always in an even keel. I will miss and your warm smile and laughs.
Khamphouk,
I really enjoyed working with you those years; we had a few good stories and laughs together. You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten”May God take of your soul for eternity” your friend for ever.
Eddie,
We met the Phongsa family right after they came to Richland more than 30 years ago. We have happy memories of Kham and his family. Throughout the years we have heard of his kindness and value his friendship. Praying for your peace.
Thanks to Kham, we learned to make sticky rice. He was best friends with our son and shared a few meals with us. His hot sauce was “Hot!” What a nice and generous guy. He was dearly loved. Our prayers are with the family. God Bless
I will always remember Kam when I worked at Tank Farms because of his uplifting demeanor and he would call me “Professor Jennings” whenever we ran into each other. I’ll miss you, Kam, you died way, way too young!!.
