He was a skilled handyman and took great pride in teaching his sons through homeschooling, home projects, inventing, engineering, and fixing things. He was deeply committed to sharing knowledge and practical skills with his family. In his free time, Chea enjoyed watching game shows, kung fu movies, and videos showcasing the natural beauty of Southeast Asia. He was a dedicated and hardworking man who also enjoyed studying Khmer music. In addition to his beloved wife, Chea is survived by his two sons, Kevin Bora Kham of Woburn, MA, and Kenneth Borey Kham of Lowell, MA.
