Fall River veteran who was fixture at Oriental Chow Mein Co. for decades passes away

A Fall River man known throughout the community has died.

66-year-old Daniel Tremblay passed away this week at Charlton Memorial Hospital.

According to an obituary, “Daniel was a man of many strengths, remembered for his fervor, commitment, and deep sense of responsibility. His work ethic and quiet dedication left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. For the past year, he served as an environmental services worker at Charlton Memorial Hospital, where his presence and reliability became part of the fabric of the hospital community. Before that, he spent more than three decades as a valued member of Fall River’s Oriental Chow Mein Co., becoming a familiar and trusted figure there.

Daniel was also a proud veteran, having served in the United States Marine Corps from 1980 to 1986—an experience that shaped his discipline, loyalty, and sense of duty. Outside of work and service, he found joy in the simple things he loved most: classic cars and the timeless music of Elvis Presley. Whether admiring the lines of an old engine or listening to Elvis’s unmistakable voice, these passions brought him comfort and connection throughout his life.
