His children have decided to close the business to honor his legacy, with son Jesse stating, "With his passing, it made sense to shut down the restaurant. That was his vision and his legacy.'" The restaurant was among the pioneers of Thai cuisine in Boston, attracting dedicated staff and notable patrons.
Good Company opened with ambitions of sustainability in Charlestown but closed after just nine months.
