He prayed for his family to be guarded spiritual in his absence. He was selfless and would not hesitate to lend a hand to those in need. Though days were long, working 10 hours shifts, 6 days a week, he pushed forward to ensure his family had a quality life to live. Dung was a critical thinker. With age came wisdom, and he was more than happy to share the knowledge with anyone willing to listen. He thought deeply of life believing in kindness and the good of others.
