Chong C. So

I would always compete over at Grandmaster's So tournament in Hanover, PA on an annual basis and I always knew that he was a man that have had the respect of his peers, students, Masters and other Grandmasters. He was a nice gentleman and was always really friendly. That is what I remembered him by. His passing is very unfortnate because to those that knew him, they lost a family member, a teacher and a friend. My sincerest condolences to those that were affected by this honorable gentleman.

Even though i wasn't one off his students. i have met grandmaster so, a few times at his dojang. he was very intellagent and will be
well missed.

IAM ONE OF MR. SO'S FORMER STUDENTS. BEING CONSIDERED OLDER WHEN I STARTED MARTIAL ARTS; I WAS 36 HE TOLD ME IN OUR INITIAL INTERVIEW IT WOULD TAKE ME A LONG TIME TO GET IN SHAPE JUST TO DO TAE KWON DO. HE WAS A VERY WISE AND INTELLIGENT MAN. HE WILL BE MISSED. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY. I AM NOW A FOURTH DAN IN HIS ORIGINAL CHAMBERSBURG SCHOOL. I WAS ALWAYS PROUD TO HAVE HIS NAME ON MY BACK WHEN I WENT AWAY TO TOURNAMENTS. HE LEAVES A TREMENDOUS LEGACY TO FOLLOW. I FEEL HONORED...

My condolences to the So Family.
As I recall my relatioship with Mister So, he was a person who demand respect and got it. A ture warrior and gentlemen in the scheme of life. His legacy is written, and those who knew him will endure the loss.

I'm honored to have been one of Mr. So's many students. I received my first degree black belt under his teaching and guidance and his bits of wisdom will stay with me always. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.

To train under Master So was truely an honor. I received my 1st Dan under him in Chambersburg. I feel his loss not only as a Mentor and Teacher but as a personal friend. He will be missed.

I knew Mr. So for many years and he was a wonderful person. He definitely made an impact on the area and will be greatly missed. I know I will truly miss seeing him around. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.

I was a student of Mr. So's. I received my 1st and 2nd DAN under him. I am now a 5th DAN and own Mr So's former school in Chambersburg. Everything I know about Martial Arts started with Mr. So. He was a great teacher and a great man. I am honered to have been trained by him. He will be missed.
My sympathies go out to his family.

I was a former student and admirer of Master So. He taught me for many years and I learned more than most could imagine from him. He will be missed by everyone that truly knew him and his mark on this world will be felt for a very long time.
