My wife Barbara and I (Class of '71)express our condolences at the passing of Dr. Kim. He was the advisor to our Business Administration Club and I was Program Director. He was a great friend and mentor to many students while at U.M.D.

I know that all who knew him will share in your loss and pray that you will find peace in the warmth of their love and friendship.



Sincerely,

Bill and Barb Arel
