“Today’s the last time we can all say goodbye to him, so that’s why we wanted to stand here and say goodbye to him,” said Tee Nguyen, the owner of BaoBao Cuisine.
Following the news of Corder’s death, the restaurant set up a memorial outside the Milwaukee Police Department’s District 2 station, featuring Corder’s go-to dish with a piece of paper next to the meal, calling it “The Corder Order.”
