I knew "Huey" from his daily trips to the Manasota postal facility as I worked on the dock out there for the three months prior to his passing. I think I can speak for some other postal workers that we are going to greatly miss Huey. It was a pleasure to work with him in helping to load his mail truck. He cared enough to learn my name and always was upbeat when going about his daily work. My condolences to all his family and closer friends. God Bless You.

I knew Hieu when he was in high school and a bit after, through my cousins the Brozowkis, one of Hieu's American families here in the States. A fine young man then, and throughout his life. So sad to hear of his passing.

My heart goes out to the Trinh family.
I am so blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing Hieu for so many years as he brought the mail to the Bradenton Beach Post Office.
Though I have been retired for a few years, I will always remember Hieu and his beautiful smile.
Hieu was always so friendly to everyone, and always spoke so lovingly of his family.
