"I learned that Canh T. Tran, the founder of waterfront seafood supplier Rose’s in Seabrook, died of natural causes at 71; his family’s January 18 Facebook post recounted that as a teenager he was sold as a slave to find work in Vietnam, left family in China, built a coffee business that was destroyed during the turmoil of the Vietnam War, emigrated to the United States, and in 1980 founded the family-owned Rose’s Seafood. The supplier is known for selling crawfish, Gulf oysters and other sundries fresh off fishing boats." - Brittanie Shey
