Dr. Seongbin Pak

Seongbin Pak, 93, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 27, 2018 after a short illness in Naples, FL. He was born on July 14, 1924 in Sam Ho, North Korea. He escaped North Korea and fought alongside the United States Army 24th infantry division in the Korean War. He received his Medical Degree from Seoul National University.

Seongbin was an avid tennis player and runner, having completed the NY Marathon at the age of 60… and a loyal die-hard NY Giants fan. He enjoyed family and friends, sharing good times, good food and good wine.
