I knew Rev. Kim as a colleague in ministry when he was ministering at Beverly Hills and then at Glen Rhodes.   I was minister at Northminster United at the time.  We were in a weekly lectionary group together (around 2008-2014) that met on Wednesdays at Fairlawn United Church, hosted by the late Rev. David Lander.  I appreciated Jong Bok's input and he often connected the bible stories with his own experiences in Korea.   I was glad to hear that he had found a call and was happy in his new home in North Bay.  I am very sad to hear the news of his illness and his passing.  My condolences to Julie and family and friends of Jong Bok. He was passionate about social justice and will be sorely missed.

What wonderful memories I have of Jong Bok. I followed him at Glen Rhodes United Church, and gently coached me on the ministry there. The congregation had many good things to say about him and his transformative leadership during his interim ministry there.
I enjoyed his sense of humour and admired his faith and humility. I will miss him, and I'm sure he will be missed by so many others, too. A big loss for his family, friends, church and world. I wish everyone deep peace in the midst of the grief, and for all the days to come.

Dear Julie,
We have never met, but it was a distinct pleasure to know 
Jong Bok.
He was the minister at "Beverly Hills United".  We had the honor and privilege of hearing his sermons on a number of occasions.  We found him to be sensitive, kind and articulate minister who always had a meaningful message for us.  
My Mom Edith was also very fond of Jong Bok.  They had a mutual respect, and she enjoyed his sense of humor.  He complimented my Mom for walking to church with her walker, and refusing rides.  He understood her sense of independence.  
Thank you for caring for Jong Bok.  Our deepest condolences to you Julie, and his family and friends.  May fond memories bring you comfort.
Kindly, Judy and Roy Fricker
