My dearest Yong, my deepest condolences on the transition of your beautiful dad. I never had the honor of meeting him, but I look forward to learning more about him from you. I will be at the service a bit late I’ll be coming over from work. My love to your mom, you and Wayne .

Praying for your family in this difficult time. May they continue to have your incredible strength. I will always remember your ZEST for life, how you went out as much as possible even when you got sick, and how you lived life to the fullest. Your teachings will live on in the incredible son you raised and in the students he teaches.

R.I.P. Dad, An Incredible Life You Lived. Love, Your Son, Yong.

Dad, you meant so much to so many people. Your kindness and warmth and smile always could light up a room. I saw you fight all of life's struggles but you always did it with strength with that Korean expression of " Fighting ! " You also had a great heart and soul. I will miss you enormously. It hurts so bad to lose you but I know now that you are with God. Love, your son, Yong
