Dad was born on October 18, 1916, in a small village in the North and he remembers the address to be (starting with the province) Hwang-Hae-Doh, Eun-Yool-Goon, Jang-Nyun-Myun, Dong-Boo-Rhee, 810. He was the third son in a family of 4 boys and 3 girls. He graduated from elementary school in 1930. He and mom married on July 15, 1939, at Pyung Nam Jin-Nam-Po Uhg-Ryang-Gi-Dong Presbyterian Church. The two would have 2 daughters followed by 2 sons. The war times were difficult and like others, they were displaced a number of times. In 1947, the family began attending Gong-Duk Presbyterian Church in the South and shortly thereafter were involved in the founding of Young Nak Presbyterian Church in Seoul. There, he taught sunday school for 12 years and became an ordained deacon in 1960, and elder in 1970. In October of that year, the family immigrated to the U.S. In 1973, he was a founding member of the Young Nak Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, becoming elder in 1974. He served the church until he retired from service in 1988. He was a faithful and loving husband, a much beloved father, and respected servant at church. On May 24, 2010, he said good bye to his beloved wife of more than 70 years. On December 10, 2010, he was called home by his Heavenly Father.
