Dr. Chung, although it's been several years since you left this earth, I am still thinking of you and grieving. You have contributed so much to our community. My regret is for not taking the time to express my appreciation when you were with us. Your selfless dedication and hard work benefited our society and humanity immensely. I will forever remember and appreciate the impact you left with us ...

I worked for as Dr. Chung's nurse for five years. It was a pleasure knowing him. I learned many things from him. At times it was an adventure. We had many good laughs. My sincere condolences to Soon and his children.

Dr. Chung lived a life full of faith in God and service to his community. He was a man of courage, who persevered and flourished in his adopted country. He never stopped helping his community as a leader and as a physician. When my husband died, he and his lovely wife were very kind to me; I will always remember them with affection. His was a life well-lived.

Dr. Chung improved the quality of my life through his excellent skills and experience. That was many years ago, and I have often thought of him with appreciation since.

It has been an honor to have known and to have been a friend of Dr. Chung since the 1980's. We were so sorry to hear this sad news. Our condolences to the whole family, and our prayers go out for a man who enriched our lives and made Alaska a better place!

Godspeed Dr. Chung.

The Korean Language School was established after my first year with Dr. Chung. Outside of his medical profession, Dr...
