So sorry to hear of your loss. Dr. Pyun was such a nice soft spoken friend of our family who I knew since I was very young. I enjoyed all the many times we talked at our family dinners and visits with each other. I remember seeing his office at the Meriden Wallingford hospital many years ago and was very impressed with his medical career accomplishments. He told me lots of interesting stories and also liked to know what was going on in our lives. Nice memories of being invited by Dr. Pyun's family to spend time together at their Lakeridge home with Chris.

After my first semester of Med School, I did a summer internship in Dr. Pyun's lab...along with Dr. Arce. Learned a lot. I can't believe it was so long ago. Will keep Dr. Pyun in my memories...and his article on giant cell myocarditis.
