Yooshik was a great man to me and my daughter when we arrived to Chicago he helped me to settle down and help my daughter to adapt to life here and he was wonderful to me and my parents when they came to visit from Spain
We had a very close relationship and he was the best at entertaining with parties for my family and friends I love his fashion style and the cars he drove he was definitely a communicative person a social butterfly lover of music  and people.
I was in shock when I saw this anf feel so sad to know he is gone and I will pray for his soul to find peace in the other world 
I am so sorry for your loss Kara and all his children too

I am deeply sadden by Yooshik's passing.  While at EMHC I work with him placing probably 100 clients in LTFC.  He made all of their lives better and he probably touch ten of thousands.  He was a good friend and I loved when he would come to visit EMHC.  God Bless and rest in eternal peace.

Yooshik was an amazing friend that I was blessed to meet in my life.  His honesty, empathy, lust for life, and listening ear were just some of his many great qualities as a friend and human. I'll miss you 


I can not put into words and express how much Yooshik meant to me.  I had the pleasure to work with Yooshik and cherish the time we had together.  Yooshik had a kind beautiful soul. He was the perfect friend to call to get advice and share his wisdom with you.  He was funny, witty, and had a very positive outlook on life. Just being in his presence cheered you up. I will forever miss him and wish we had more time together.

Yooshik was the go-to guy for helping find a decent place to live and get care, for some of our most complicated patients. He approached each of them with respect, compassion and kindness. He made my job easier, and I always enjoyed our chats when he came to our hospital. He often talked about his family, vacations and the good things in life. I am glad to have known him. He is missed. Prayers for his family members.

Yooshik was such a great man.  His work at BRIA was a passion to serve the mentally ill.  He made a difference in everyone’s life he touched, resident, consumer, and team mates.  On behalf of all of your extended family at BRIA may you rest in piece.  May God bless your family with comfort knowing you made a difference to so many in this world!
Thank you

Such a good man. Yooshik is one of my favorite people I’ve ever worked with. He always saw the positive in people and inspired everyone around him. 

I was sorry to learn that Yooshik had died. We worked together at the Somerset Home for many years where he was the Director Of Admissions and I was the Medical Director He was always concerned that the patients would get appropriate and compassionate care. I considered him a valued colleague and friend Michael Reinstein M.D.

You will be forever in my heart. He was such a great person I had the pleasure of meeting when I started inpatient and then he got me my last job and always spoke so highly of my social work skills. To know him was to know a great person. My thoughts are forever with his family. 

From my heart to yours, Yooshik will be greatly missed. He helped to make all my years as a new inpatient psychiatric social worker at the hospital so much easier with his kind words, gentle hand, immense knowledge, and fantastic personality. There were so many times I was lost and could turn to him even though he never had to help. He just wanted to. I will never forget his soft nature but everlasting friendship. To your family from mine, a great man was taken too soon and will always be with me.
