My career started at UBS and Kim was my first manager. He was a really decent person, a great mentor, energetic and cheerful too. It was a privilege to work for him. I have always regarded him as an example of the type of person I would like to be. It is really sad to hear that he is gone. My condolences to Kim's family. Rest in peace, Kim. The vivid memory of you will always be kept. - Da (Bob) Guan

My Condolences and prayers to his whole family.
I got to know Kim mostly on the Soccer field in Connecticut and briefly our work paths crossed at UBS. Always a good player and great attitude made you enjoy being on his team.
I also learned of his giving side as he invited me to play soccer with him at Grace Farms. Where he help organize a weekly pick game mixed of Kids who did not have a place to play.
You could tell Kim enjoyed seeing these Kids having fun playing a game he loved. The world will miss him. To live in the hearts you leave behind is to live forever. Until we meet again.

Kim was a classmate at Yale who I didn't know well, yet I always appreciated the energy he brought to the TD community. I'm sad he's gone.

I met Kim at Yale. We bonded playing Frisbee for Timothy Dwight College, and I have admired him ever since. I was lucky to have a wonderful talk with him a couple years ago, after many years apart. I'm glad I got to see him thriving, and happy with his wife and children. I wish you all the best possible path through this sadness.
