Kim Ong Obituary
Kim Ong will be missed by his wife of 66 years, Helen, his two daughters, Susan and her husband David, and Deborah and her husband Jerald, and four grandchildren. Kim's parents had left China and settled in Malaysia some years before his birth in 1931. Growing up, Kim attended British schools including a Jesuit High School that helped him get a scholarship to Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas, where he graduated with a BS in Physics. He then attended the University of Kansas, graduating with a Pharmacy degree and a master's degree in Radiation Biophysics. Kim worked as a hospital pharmacist at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View for 39 years, before retiring in 1999. He mentored many individuals who went on to pharmacy careers, and enjoyed keeping up with the many innovations in his field.
A service will be held at Sunnyvale Methodist Church on Friday, January 10th, at 11:00 AM.

I am a pharmacist who worked at El Camino Hospital; I have also recently retired after enjoying a 39 year career. For a brief 2 year period, my time there intersected with Kim's, from 1998 -2000. I remember him as a kindly, older gentleman who was well liked and appreciated by those of us on staff until his retirement. I am sure his was a life well lived and I offer my condolences and sympathy to his family.
