Young Ho Park

Young Ho was born in Seoul, Korea on February 21, 1949, the oldest son to Park Kap Man and Choi Geum Yun. He graduated from Korea (Koryo) University in 1972. Throughout college and on, he enjoyed playing tennis, golf, skiing, and mountain climbing with friends. In 1978, he went on a date with a girl named Min Aekyung and they bonded over a mutual love of nature. They were married later that same year.

Young Ho and Aekyung immigrated to Chicago, Illinois in 1979. Young Ho got his master’s degree from Illinois Institute of Technology in 1982, and went on to have a long career, retiring from United Airlines in 2013 as a computer engineer. In his retirement, he played with his grandchildren, traveled, played lots of tennis and golf, and often spent several hours each day walking through local forest preserves with his wife, bonding over the same interest that first brought them together.

When asked to describe her husband of 44 years, his wife simply said he was an “extra, extra cool guy.” His friends will remember him as a carefree and happy friend, the life of the party who laughed easily and was always ready to share a drink. His children will remember him as a supportive father, and a loving grandfather. As a dad, he always had an insightful perspective to offer for any of life’s problems. When it came to showing love, he was a warm but silent type, communicating through 1-2 words, a pat on the back, or an emoji like when he sent a single thumbs up emoji to his daughter after she gave birth to her second child.

We’ll remember him most during long walks on days with beautiful weather, when having a drink with dear friends, and while having deep belly laughs with family and friends.

Young Ho is survived by his wife, Park Aekyung (nee Min); his children, John Park (wife, Tiffany) and Jean Yoon (husband, Samuel); his grandchildren Emily and Max; his sisters Park Hija and Park Mija, and his brother Park Young Sun (wife, Yoon He). He is preceded in death by his father and mother, and his sister Park Young Ae.

하나님의 사랑하는 아들 박영호 집사님께서 (노스브룩) 2022년 3월 19일 (토) 향년 73세로 하나님의 부르심을 받으셨기에 부고 합니다.

박영호 집사님은 1949년 2월 21일 부친 박갑만님과 모친 최금연님 사이에서 장남으로 태어나셨습니다. 1972년에 고려대학교를 졸업했습니다. 그는 대학시절에 친구들과 테니스, 골프, 등산, 스키등을 즐겼습니다. 1978년 그는 민애경이라는소녀와 데이트를 시작했고 자연스럽게 사랑의 인연으로 맺어져 그해 결혼을 했습니다.

1979년, 박영호 집사님과 민애경 집사님은 Chicago, Illinois 로 함께 이민을 오게 되었고, 1982년, 박영호 집사님은 일리노이 공과대학에서 석사 학위를 받으셨습니다. United Airlines 에서 Computer Engineer 로 오랜 기간 경력을 쌓으신 후 2013년에 정년퇴직 하셨습니다. 은퇴 후 그는 손주들과 시간을 보내고, 여행을 하고, 테니스와 골프를 치고, 아내와 함께 Forest Preserves 공원을 산책하는등 가족과 함께 소중한 추억들을 많이 만드셨습니다.

44년을 함께한 남편에 대해 물었을 때 그의 아내는 한마디로 "Extra, extra cool guy" 라고 말합니다. 그의 친구들은 그를편안하고 행복한 친구, 늘 명랑하고 사교적인 멋진 벗으로 기억할 것입니다. 그리고 그의 자녀들은 그를 든든한 아버지, 사랑스런 할아버지로 늘 그렇게 기억할 것입니다.

사랑하는 남편, 아버지, 할아버지, 친구, 동생, 형 … 참 많이 보고싶고 그리울 겁니다. 산책하기 좋은 화창한 날이나, 친한친구들끼리 한잔하고 싶을때나, 가족들과 배꼽잡으며 신나게 웃을때 … 그럴때 마다 참 많이 생각 날겁니다.
