Dirge for our beloved Hee Jung Sohn

I am deeply appalled at the sudden death of our good friend, Sohn,
HeeJung who suddenly passed away early this morning on December 13,
2006. He has lived a 58 years of short life, survived by a loving wife
with two daughters.

He was such a bright, amiable and generous guy that everyone wants to
have as a friend and hang around. He came to America early, as a doyen
he loved to advise and get along with so many friends.

All of our friends in LA was surprised to hear he had stomach cancer
in early March. He was the strongest and healthiest guy among us,
fun-loving, and good singer with dazzling dance and also a good
drinker...He showed up his last golf with us in early April. He said
he would be back soon after a simple surgery based on the preliminary
check by the doctor. I still remember we chatted and drank in our
dinner after golf. He showed no fear at all......

He had first operation on 4/26, found his stomach was full with cancer
contrary to the early prognosis, cutting out all of it and connecting
directly to intestine. Even though he found it is a little bit serious
than expected, he never lost his confidence in sound recovery whenever
we talked to him on the phone. He had second operation in August. It
is because they found out he had unexpected malpractice by a surgeon.
They inserted a tube in his belly, which had scratch some parts of
bowl nearby, causing internal bleeding and high fever for a long time
which cause him the unwanted ordeal. On late October, he underwent
third operation after the cancer transmitted even to colon. Lately he
was suffered from sepsis due to the malfunction of kidney. Some of our
friends went to see him two weeks ago, he was so weak, lying
motionless with a breathing hose inserted thru his neck, seeing the
guys in deadpan face. No one could imagine he became like that.

It is a terrible loss to us. We miss his always smiling face. He left
so many memorabilia I want to keep. Such a good guy left us this
early. He had two westpoint graduated daughters, his source of proud
and accomplishment.

Here is his address 4447 Wilshire Blvd #106 Los Angles, CA 90010 email

His funeral will be held on 20th(Wed), waiting for his daughters to
come from abroad. Our prayer and heart is with his family.... I have
to say farewell to my beloved Hee Jung...... we love you and miss
you..... so long... In his grace sleep in peace.......
