Daily News | Andre Chin, baker and co-owner of Artisan Boulanger Patissier, has died at 65
Andre Chin, 65, a baker and pastry artist who with his wife, Amanda Eap, ran the popular Artisan Boulanger Patisserie in South Philadelphia, died Saturday, July 16, at his South Philadelphia home after a seven-year battle with prostate cancer.
Mr. Chin, a soft-spoken, easygoing man, was regarded for his generosity and especially his soft touch with children visiting the shop. Mr. Chin returned to France, but they courted long-distance. Eap said he proposed and she flew to Paris to marry him in 1990. She sponsored him for U.S. citizenship three months later, and they settled in South Philadelphia, where they raised sons Nicholas, 28, a pharmacist, and Ryan, 22, a student. “We have never been apart since,” she said.
