The sign had been an integral part of the restaurant’s history, having been up since it opened back in 1975.

“Once again, our family owes you for your endless support over the 47 years and now this. We are blessed!! Thank you, thank you,” Cheung went on to say.

“A perfect bookend to a true thanksgiving and a hell of a retirement story!! I doubt any retirement story can top this.”

The restaurant officially closed its doors on Oct. 9 so Cheung and his wife could retire.
