Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy is sent out to Emily and Mr. Kim's family. He was my choir teacher when i was in 6th grade (i am now a sophomore) and i deeply missed him when he left. Now i cant believe he is really gone. You probably dont remember me emily, but i remember you! you came into class with your daddy before. But you were just a little thing! Keep your head up girl. He was a great man and i know he is in a better place. My prayers are with you all.

Mr. Kim was a wonderful neighbor. My family only knew him for 2yrs. because we moved in across the street. However in such a short period of time he was the nicest man I knew. He would give comments to my family all the time for something different. His daughter is as sweet as he is. God bless emily and his family. Just know he is in a better place. Congrats on such a wonderful man he grew up to become.

I'll never forget Dan Fry excitedly introducing me to his friend "Buddha" my freshman year at the University of Illinois. The thing I will remember most about Andy is that he almost always had a smile on his face and something funny to say. If you were feeling down, he made you feel better. If you were already happy, he made you feel great. I will miss his friendship immensely.

I knew Andy for almost 20 years, as I arrived at University of Illinois when he was leaving. Little did I know that he would accept a job in the town I lived part of my life in - Quincy, IL, and in that town he lived most of his professional life. The things we did and shared over the years are too numerous to mention, but Andy was my closest friend, and I will treasure the memories but mourn his loss. Well done, good and faithful servant!

I taught Andy in high school and directed him in the plays at Malden Catholic. I will never forget his part in 'Chorus Line.' Please know that we will never forget him. Just yesterday, I drove by his parents home in Medford and wondered if they still lived there. We will miss him greatly. He was so full of life and joy. We truly loved him.

I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed. His teaching made our choir heavenly....Vespers will never be the same.

I am truly sorry for your loss. May God be with your family. Everyone who worked with Andy at Aflac will truly miss him.

Goodbye, my dear friend. I know I am a better person for knowing you.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to Emily and the family of this wonderful man!!!! I always knew him as "Mr. Kim" thats what my children called him, he taught them music at St. John school. I would see him in church with Emily at St. John's. He was always a joy and so friendly to everyone! He will be deeply missed but just think of how the choirs of heaven will sound now!!! GLORIOUS!!!
