My mother introduced me to Dr. Hong as the wisest, most humble and as one of the kindest people that she had ever met. Though I was but a small boy at the time, it was obvious that he deserved his sterling reputation. We attended one of the many wonderful plays that he narrated. Both during and afterward the performance, I found myself impressed by how well-respected and appreciated Dr. Hong was by the many who he gave so selflessly to .As a positive role model, he was shining and will always remain so. As a mentor, his sage advice never failed to both enlighten and to cheer up my mother and no doubt, to countless others. It is no wonder that such a man would end up being so blessed with daughters and grandchildren who followed his examples of kindness and selflessness by taking such wonderful care of him for so long. Dr. Hong's legacy will continue to inspire us.
