Kai Sun Tom of New York, NY, passed on March 30, 2025 at the age of 87. Kai was born in wartime China and suffered greatly as a child. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1948 at the age of 11, arriving in time to celebrate Independence Day. After graduating from Pratt Institute, Kai served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in South Korea. It was there that Kai met and married his beloved Song Ye Li. Kai enjoyed a successful career as a graphic artist in the advertising industry. He was beloved as a husband, brother, son, grandson, uncle, granduncle and cousin. We will forever remember Kai fondly for his generosity, kindness and gentle soul.
