He was born in a small farming village in N Korea. When the 38th parallel divided Korea, his family was also divided. He lost his mother and 8 of 9 sisters. He became an activist for the reunification of Korea, and longed to reunite with his family.
He pastored in the United Methodist Church since the 80s and was known as a person of profound love, and care. In his retirement he enjoyed spending time with friends and family. He leaves behind his wife of 50+ years, Eunice Paik, three sons, Frank, Joseph, and Benjaman, and grandchildren.
He will be sorely missed, but we trust we shall see him on the other side.
