The Thousand Cranes
In the grogginess of early mornings, Dohee Kang often feels her husband, Joon Koo Kang, next to her. She tries to talk to him, only to realize he is gone.
The couple met when Mrs. Kang visited New York as a college student in 1994. She soon returned to Korea, but he followed her back to Seoul the next year, and proposed to her the day after she graduated. "He gave me a thousand origami cranes, and said when he missed me, he would make a crane," she said. "He also showed me a photo album of me growing up. I don't know how he got the pictures. At the end of the album, there was a card, which said, 'Will you marry me?' "
The couple have two daughters, Ariel, 4, and Diane, 2. Mr. Kang, 34, was a computer analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald. He took his daughters to swimming pools and parks and read them the Bible every night. "I told my little ones that Daddy is in heaven. Then my older girl asked me, 'Could I call him?' " Mrs. Kang said. "I said no. If you wanted to see Daddy, you had to pray."

I am sorry I only became aware of Joon's death this past Sunday (September 11) during the reading of the names. I was shocked and saddened because I thought that I had found all the names of those I knew who were lost on that day. Joon and I were teammates on the Baruch Bowling Team and we bowled together as doubles partners in a league one summer. I remember seeing him fold his origami creations in between frames, so I know that they were very meaningful to him. I know his goodness must...

Here is Cantor Fitzgerald's website with tributes written by loved ones. You can read more about Joon Koo in what his three sisters wrote in memorium. The NY Times ran a series after 9/11 and that is what is listed on Legacy.com - but it, like anything, is inadequate to express the loss felt by any family.
Joon Koo was the eldest child of our generation and I've struggled for years on what to write to honor his memory. He was a great man on earth and I wish I could be changed more...
