Thanh Cong Trinh passed away peacefully in his sleep early on Saturday morning, March 2, 2024 at his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His wife, Kim, and son, Nam, were by his side. More family gathered soon after to celebrate him with a traditional Buddhist ceremony.

Thanh always wanted to give money to help anyone he saw in need. So, in lieu of flowers or gift for the family, please consider making a donation to support Vietnamese Buddhist temples in the towns of Tuy Hoa (his home town) and Bien Hoa (near Saigon), Vietnam. Funds collected will go directly help local people in need. Temples typically provide food staples for a family - a 10-lb bag of rice, a box of ramen, various cooking ingredients, and a little spending money.

We will share how these funds are distributed this spring 2024.

Thank you.

Thanh's family and friends
