Kim Hong: Radiation Oncologist, community builder, loving husband, father and grandfather. Born in Guangdong Province (Village of Tailong) in the District of Toison, China on February 15, 1937; died peacefully on July 13, 2020 at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s, NL after a period of illness.
Kim had an incredible life journey which has left a profound impact on many people including his children, grandchildren, friends and the community. In 1950, at the age of 13, Kim moved to Canada from China, with very little English skills, to join his grandfather at the John Lee Laundry, an old-fashioned hand laundry on Gower Street in St. John’s. He completed all eleven grades in eight years at Bishop Feild College in St. John’s. Through hard work and dedication, he was able to put himself through medical school at Dalhousie University.
He was best known for his passion and commitment as a Radiation Oncologist for nearly 35 years in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, providing cancer care to thousands of people until his retirement in 2007. Kim was instrumental in the development of the Newfoundland Cancer Clinic (currently known as the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre) and its outreach program throughout the province. He would typically perform several clinics per year across the island in Corner Brook, Grand Falls, Burin and Gander. His involvement in teaching at the Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) medical school resulted in his appointed as Clinical Assistant Professor of Radiotherapy at MUN in 1973, and a Clinical Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology in 1983.
Kim was also a leader in the Chinese and multicultural communities in Newfoundland. In 1976, he was the founding President of the Chinese Association of Newfoundland and Labrador where his vision was to “make us better citizens of the land and by trying to achieve that, you would have social events and functions, integrate with the larger community and thereby become better citizens.” In 1979, he was a co-founder of the Newfoundland Multicultural Council and appointed to the Canadian Council of Multiculturalism by the Federal Government of Canada. In 2018, he was awarded the Senate of Canada 150th Anniversary Medal in honour of his work as a radiation oncologist and community leader.
Kim will be remembered for his compassion, kindness and his desire to lend a helping hand. Leaving to celebrate his life: wife of 56 years, Mely, and their children David (Lisa Hong), Debbie (Robert Drielsma), Derrick (Beverly Hong), Dianne (Greg Anderson), and Dean (Cheryl Hong) along with nine grandchildren (Emily, Devon, Jack, James, Matthew, Sam, Joseph, Erin, and Brandon). Also, his mother (Kwan Song Hum) who had joined Kim in Canada in 1967 and recently turned 100 years old in March of this year, and his sister Jane Mah (Jim Mah).
Private funeral service held on Friday, July 17, 2020, at Carnell’s Funeral Home followed by a burial at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery. A larger celebration of Kim’s life will be planned for this fall after COVID-19 travel restrictions are lifted. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dr. Kim Hong Endowment Fund which honours the importance Kim placed on continuing education for health care professionals of the Dr. H.

We arecently learned of Kim’s passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to you, Mely and family. We have so many fond memories of Kim, through “his many hats”. The Hongs were very good friends of our neighbours in our early years as a family. Kim and his mother taught us to grow snow peas and kohlrabi in our little garden, long before they were available on supermarkets. Our children always attended the Chinese New Year event planned by Kim and his committee, an event they loved. Later, Barb worked as a colleague with Kim in cancer care. He is remembered as committed, passionate, and caring in all that he did. Sincere condolences.
David and Barbara Adams
It is so sad to read about Dr. Hong’s death. I remember that he wrote me a nice recommendation letter when I joined the military back in 1983 and he was a good friend of my dad during the early years of the Newfoundland and Labrador Multicultural Council. He always treated me kindly and would talk to me no matter how busy he was at the time. He was a great man.who achieved so much in his lifetime.
My deepest condolences to Dr. Hong’s wife and extended family.
I was a grade behind Kim at Bishop Feild and, later had the privilege of attending his and Mely’s wedding 56 years ago with our mutual friend, John Collingwood.. More recently, I enjoyed meeting with Kim while researching for a book on my father, Edgar House, who was the Headmaster at BFC when Kim and several other Chinese boys went there. Kim and Mely proudly showed me graduation photos of their children Kim went on to an outstanding career and made a wonderful contribution to his chosen province and country..
We were very surprised and sorry to hear of Dr Hong passing. We sincerely share your great loss and our thoughts are with you. Each time we passed by your house on Parliament St, we still thought of you living there for so long. Also miss seeing the vegetables grown so well each year by his mother.
Your neighbor.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr Hongs passing. Dr Hong was my doctor when I was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 18 years. I was his patient for 25 years. I have battled cancer a few times and am now 64 years old. Dr. Hong was so kind and personable. I even ran into a couple of times at the hospital in later years and he always spoke to me and asked how I was doing now. Such a wonderful man. Condolences to all his family.
I was sorry to hear of Dr Hong’s passing.
The obituary captured the spirit of a beautiful person.
I knew him as a great medical professor and doctor
I would then get to know him as a great neighbour
and gentle human being
It was a privilege being his family physician these last few years ; I know there were medical challenges.
Special regards to Mrs Hong and her children during these difficult times.
Derrick,Debbie,David, Dean,Dianne::Prayers will be raised for you and your mother and families during this period of grieving.
I was honored to know Dr Hong
My deepest condolences to Dr. Hong’s wife and family. He treated my mother, Shirley Snook, decades ago and saw her, my stepfather Charlie, and myself through the years after with great humour and care. We all loved him. Charlie got into the habit of trading fish from Grand Bank for the lovely vegetables his mother grew in his yard. I very much appreciated the fact that he and his wife attended both my mom’s and Charlie’s funerals and he kept in touch with all of us. He was a great doctor and friend. With love and good memories, Linda Cohen.
Sorry for your lose RIP
Dean and family,
We’re so sorry for your loss.
Dave, Libby, Holly and Chris Dyer
My deepest sympathy to Dr. Hong’s family. Dr. Hong saw my Mom when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I will always remember his kindness to Mom and his patience at answering our many questions about this new road we had to travel. Mom made a full recovery, and had many years with us before passing away at the age of 82. I hope you all find comfort in the thoughts and prayers coming your way and the many memories shared, of this wonderful man. God bless.
Mely and family and Grandma.

To my buddy Dean,
Our deepest sympathies on the passing of your dad. He positively impacted so many lives during his time and is surely to be admired. All the best to you and your family. The Doves
Dr. Hong made incredible contributions to Newfoundland and Labrador. I personally benefitted from his wisdom as a medical student and subsequently as a practising physician. This wisdom, caring, and compassion is an enduring memory. My deepest condolences to his family.
Kim was a friend and a colleague. Shared great memories with him over the years. He was certainly one of the pillars of cancer treatment in the Province. He was all action, extremely obliging and caring with compassion. He spread the word of cancer treatment across the Province by having regular clinics outside St. John’s. His contribution will always be remembered. Sincere condolence to the family
My condolences to Dr. Hong’s wife and family. He looked after my mother for many years with breast cancer. She died eventually of cancer but was regarded as a breast cancer survivor. She credited Dr. Hong with that accomplishment. Rest eternal grant unto him O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him.
Auntie Mely and family,
I am so sorry to hear the passing of uncle Kim. I have so many fond memories of hanging around him and the whole family. As a young boy coming from Jakarta to St. John’s and not knowing too many people, you and your family accepted me as one of your family member and made me almost forget the people and friends that I left behind in Jakarta.
Your kindness will always be remembered.
Guanto
A very kind and gentle man. The essence of humanity. He will be missed by all who came in contact with him.

To The Hong Family
Sorry to learn of Kim’s Passing.. I remember Kim in his younger years. We sat next to each other in school at Bishop Feild College. We also attended CLB camp together at Harbour Grace. At camp I remember our first early morning walk to the back river to wash up and see Kim’s expression – “what have I got my self into”. From that point to where Kim’s journey traveled through life is really remarkable. May his soul rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences on hearing Kim passing away. I know he will be deeply missed by you all. He was such a successful doctor, significant community and family man and just a very nice person to meet and talk with. He always welcomed you with a brilliant smile and remained humble even in light of all the amazing things he accomplished.
‘Our thoughts and prayers to you all during this difficult time.
I have fond memories of Dr. Hong from many CANAL events. He was always welcoming, friendly and kind, wanting everyone to enjoy the fellowship of the event. He will be missed.
I have had the priviledge of knowing Dr. Hong for close on thirty years since my sister started seeing his son Dean. I remember clearly the first time I visited his house and being enthralled by all the beautiful Asian decor. This, of course, was before any grandchildren so I think it was a treat to have a little girl visit. His mother, Granny (or Bok Bok) even gave a jade necklace. I went with Dean and Cheryl to many Chinese Association events and family parties, always feeling very welcome. The very last time I saw Dr. Hong was a visit to his home with my own children. Once again the Hongs seemed thrilled to have little kids in the house. He asked them so many questions about school and activities and complimented them on how big they were getting. They had their fill of homemade chocolate chip cookies that day which one my kiddos complimented that they were the best she’d ever had (which of course meant she got to take some more home). It was a lovely little visit and I am sad, but happy that it is the last memory of such a nice man.
To the family, please know that if it was not for the circumstances regarding covid I would for sure have been there today. Dr. Hong is definitely a man whose life needs to be celebrated and I am glad to hear that you will be having another service in the fall. Sending love from my children and I on this hard day.
So sorry to hear of Dr. Hong’s passing. He was a wonderful man, full of life , his presence would light up a room when he walked in. We will miss our breakfasts with him on the casual Saturday mornings. Dr. Hong will be sadly missed.
Cheryl, Rick Boland
and Paul Holwell
Dave & Lisa, Dean, Cheryl & family…so saddened to hear of your Dad’s passing., which leaves a hole in hearts that don’t heal, but the memories will sustain you going forward..
I was saddened to hear of Dr. Hong’s passing. He was very caring and respectful to everyone . He looked after my mother for 9 years and during that time he was always readily available if we had any concerns or questions. My Mom was so happy to have him during her years of treatment. He always made her smile! He was one of the best for sure! My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family. He will never be forgotten.

My heartfelt and deepest sympathy to you, Mely and your children. Dr. Kim is a tremendous loss to you, his loving Family and a huge loss to this World. I had the privilege of working closely with him at the old Newfoundland Cancer Clinic. All new admissions through the clinic came through me. Dr. Hong would poke his nose around my door hand me part of his Export A package with All the info I would require to bring in a new patient. There are tons of charts in the records department with Dr. Hongs cigarette pack hooked inside bearing witness to his busy days and skillful mind. He never refused a patient. He was very easy to work beside because he was gentle and patient. We were a tight knit crew in a very small space but we managed well. I’m feeling a lot of sadness on his loss. We remained friends and I was expecting a phone call soon about the Caplin. He loved the squid as well. Guess God wanted him to help out up there. Rest softly in peace gentle, caring man, you were unique. Till we meet again Dr. Hong, Keep That Smile.
Derrick, Bev, Devon, Sam and the entire Hong family,
We are deeply sorry for your loss. Please accept our condolences. Out thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

I was sorry to hear of Kim’s passing. He treated my wife a number of years back and then we renewed our acquaintance as Feildians and as I taught some of your children at Macdonald Drive. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
NON MORITUR CUJUS FAMA VIVIT. The Feildian motto which says “ no one dies whose fame lives after them” so true in Kim’s case.
Dear Mely and family,
I was so very sorry to hear of Kim’s passing. He was such a very special man. My late husband, Hutch,
considered him a brother, as they were friends from the time Kim first arrived in Newfoundland.
They so often reminisced about their days at Bishop Feild and DFO and always kept in touch.
In recent years Don really enjoyed being part of the coffee group and always enjoyed conversations with Kim.
We feel blessed for having him as a special part of our lives over so many years.
Hugs to you all,
Cheryl

So many years ago Kim and I were in our first Biology class and I was so impressed by his pleasant nature that I decided to name my first daughter Kim.
Kim often came home with other friends for Sunday supper with my family.. When I moved overseas I never did forgot Kim because many of my family subsequently became his patient. and spoke of his gently caring ways.
Although we have never met – Kim’s dear family; I want to say that my heart aches for you. at your monumental loss. of the wonderful man.
Debbie and family, please accept our deepest sympathies on the passing of your dear father. The many tributes speak to the contributions he made to his family, to medicine in Newfoundland and to our province as a whole. May beautiful memories and the love and support of family and friends bring you comfort and peace.
To Mely and all of Dr. Hong’s family. We are saddened to hear of the loss of your loved one. He was a valued member of our Church family and will be missed. His contribution to life in Newfoundland was beyond excellent/. May your sorry be lessened by your loving memories and the knowledge of all he accomplished. Our sincere sympathy goes out to you.

Our heartfelt condolences to all of Dr. Kim Hong’s family. On behalf of myself and the rest of my family, please accept our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences.
Yee Tom and Family in Placentia
Kim, as the father of my wife, you have been a strong, generous, welcoming man and a role model to us all. Your ability to create a sense of community across race, age, and culture has been felt throughout Newfoundland and beyond. You have always gone well beyond the call of duty to help others in both your professional and personal life. You are a shining example of the positive values we should all aspire too in the current day. Dianne, Brandon, and I are devastated by your passing and our lives have been immeasurably enriched by being a part of yours.
RIP Kim Hong
Our deepest condolences go out to you Mely, your children, David, Debbie, Derrick, Dianne, Dean and Kim’s mother Kwan as well as your extended Family & Friends.
We became acquainted in 1999 when I had my first brain surgery where Dr Hong saved my life over & over again while I was a patient at the Cancer Clinic. We became good friends and finally got to meet all your family over the years and we kept in touch regularly.
My last conversation with him was at the end of June when he called to ask how myself & Gussie were doing.
Dr. Kim Hong, a wonderful Doctor & friend who has contributed more to the Health Care System in NL. than can be described and he still found time to bring up his wonderful family and stay in good physical shape all the time.
You will be sadly missed and never forgotten by all.
Gerry Skinner & Augusta (Gussie) Squires.

To the Hong family. We are deeply sorry to hear of Dr. Hong’s passing. We met Dr. Hong years ago when he moved to Blue Putter Drive, and we became friends with each other. He was such a nice and friendly neighbor, we talked about gardening, growing vegetables and families, and we really enjoyed it. He surely will be missed.
Our deepest condolences to Mely, family and Mother on the passing of Dr. Hong. We are so saddened to hear of his passing.

We are honoured to be your neighbours and friends. Bill and Stella Troke

Our sincere condolences to Mely, Grandma Hong, and family on the passing of Dr. Kim Hong. He will be remembered as a respectful and compassionate doctor, a leader in the Newfoundland Chinese Community, and a mentor to many. We fondly recall the many dinners and celebrations spent together. In his retirement, Dr. Hong was a familiar face at weekend breakfasts at A&W. We will miss our weekly chats over coffee where topics ranged from family and gardening to the early development of the Chinese Community. We are honoured to have been your friend.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. (Debbie and family who I knew in high school and Derrick and family who I met throigh taekwondo.)
I lived next door to Kim and Mely on Parliament St for a number of years. He was such a nice man , always eager to offer a helping hand with any outdoor project that I happened to be at. He willcertainly l be missed.
Mely, we are so sorry to hear of Kim’s death, our hearts and thoughts are with you and your family . Please know you are not alone in remembering a truly wonderful person that meant so much to so many. Doreen and Dick Riche.
Dean and family my condolences on the loss of your Dad . My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Miley & family, I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Hong’s passing. I was honoured to have been his secretary for the last five years of his career. He was sch an amazing man/doctor who helped so many patients in our province. He loved his patients & they loved him. He will be sadly missed by many.
Acknowledging the loss of Dr. Hong pains the heart to comprehend and the mind to accept.
Dr. Hong was a kind soul and a very proud man. I remember the time I visited the Hongs in NF. I felt the warmth and generosity of my own parents.
Dr. Hong took me on a memory trip about how his grandfather operated an old-fashioned hand laundry using coals and describing the procedure of each step involving immense physical work.
Also we connected as I am an immigrant from Syria arriving to Canada with very little English skills and he consoled me when I confided in him my embarrassment with my hard accent. Saying to me the hard work is what makes an immigrant an exemplary citizen, not his accent.
Please, Dr. Hong, know that you will be missed and Dianne will always be in my heart and taken care of by my whole family.
Maria
Dean and the Hong family, our deepest sympathy to you and all your family on the passing of your Dad. Cherish all your beautiful memories.

To the Hong Family,
So sorry to hear of Dr Hong’s passing. I remember him well as he was my mother’s oncologist some 23 years ago. He helped our family so much and we never forgot the fact that he even called my mom at 10 pm on a Friday night just to see how she was feeling after her treatment that day after returning from his clinic in Burin. That meant the world to her and us. He truly cared for his patients..
Our deepest sympathy

Dear Dianne, Mely, and the Hong Family,
Kim’s obituary and all these messages are a lovely tribute to your father. He was truly a remarkable man and an inspiration to all. I certainly enjoyed meeting him and I am very appreciative of all the advice that he passed on through you (Dianne) when I was struggling with bladder cancer. You all have every reason to be very proud of him!
Sending you our sympathies, thoughts and love,
Derek and Josie
Mely, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. He was always such a larger than life person.
We Can Shed Tears That They Have Gone
We can shed tears that they have gone,
Or we can smile that they have lived.
We can close our eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or we can open our eyes and see all the good that they have left us.
Our hearts can be empty because we cannot see them,
Or our hearts can be full with love that we’ve shared.
We can turn our backs on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or we can be happy for tomorrow, because of yesterday.
We can remember them and only that they have gone,
Or we can cherish their memory and let it live on.
We can cry and close our minds, be empty and turn our backs,
Or we can do what they would have wanted,
Smile, open our eyes, love, and go on
Rest in Peace Kim
So sorry to hear your loss. Thinking of you during these hard times. Kay Lem-Hunt, Darren Hunt, Jada and Dawson Hunt

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Kim. We were neighbours of Kim, Mely and family in the 1970’s on Parliament Street and have kept in contact with him over the years, more recently at the gym.

In sorrow

To the Hong Family. It was with great sadness that we heard of Dr Hong’s illness and sudden passing. He was my Father’s oncologist for many years, a friend of my in-laws Jessie and Stewart Dicks, and a recent new neighbour of ours on Blue Puttee Drive. I still look for him seated on his stool in the front yard weedpicker in hand. His ready smile and love of conversation will be missed. Wishing you many good memories—Andrea and Brian Dicks

Our deepest condolences to the Hong family.. Kim was such a good friend of my dads. I remember the times with Kim in Gower Street Church when I was a kid, great memories. When I came home a couple of years ago I went to the Flower Service and got to spent some time with Kim at the BBQ afterwards. It was one of my highlights of my trip. He will be truly missed.
Mely and family…
I was saddened to hear of Kim’s passing.
Kim was a dear friend of my father and their work together accomplished so much for the Chinese community. He was a leader for the community and will be remembered for his many great achievements.
He was a true gentleman who touched so many people’s lives over the years, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
My sincerest condolences goes to Dr. Hong’s family and all his loved ones
Dean , Sorry to hear of your Dad passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family God Bless !
Today is a sad day for Marion and I. Our friend Kim has passed on and he will be missed by all who knew him. He had a special place in our hearts as he was one of the few true friends that I had from medical school days. I was older than most of the rest of the class and had a family at the time and was unable to take part in many of the class functions, etc.; and , while I had a lot of acquaintances, I had few real friends. Kim was one of the true friends and although we lost touch after graduation we never forgot him and will miss him. We have one special memory of the time Kim and his lovely wife came to our home and prepared a special Thanksgiving dinner for our family. They arrived with home made gift bags (as I recall made out of small garbage bags) filled with candy and treats for each of the children and and loved playing with the children. It remains in our memories as one of the Very Special Thanksgiving Dinners of all time. and will never be forgotten. Kim was a special person and to his family we sent our love and our sympathy and Gods Blessings on each of you.
Dear Dianne,
Our very deepest sympathies to you, Greg, Brandon, your Mom and family.
So hard on all of you not to be able to come together during this time.
We remember your Dad as being instantly so easy to get to know – albeit, a kiss the cod kind of man.
What a life he led. He made amazing contributions in so many areas of life, family, medicine, and community – indeed a Dad to be proud of.
Hugs and love,
Heather and Arthur
Dianne and family.
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of your wonderful Dad. I only met him a few times but was so taken with his kind and friendly manner. You must have so many fond memories and I am sure he will be greatly missed.

Reading about the passing of Dr. Hong brought back many memories of my parents and their life in St. John’s. My father, Rev. L.A.D. Curtis, was the Minister of Visitation at Gower Street United Church in the late 1960’s. At that time many Chinese families were moving to St. John’s. Billy Ping, who was a member of the Board at Gower, took my father to visit many of their homes as the Chinese community used Gower as a meeting place. My father was a very quiet man who spoke neither Mandarin or Cantonese, but I think there were lots of smiles and warm feelings. My father died in December 1977 and early in 1978 my mother had an unexpected visit from Dr. Hong and his children. He presented my mother with a plate on which is engraved “ In memory of Rev. Dr. L.A.D.
Curtis, a true friend of the Chinese community in Newfoundland.” I am in the process of moving and came across the plate last week! I shall take it with me and remember two great men, Dr. Hong and my father. My condolences to Kim’s family.
Our sincere condolences to Mely and the family.Our thoughts are with you Mely. and we are saddened to hear of Kim’s passing.
Mely,David,Debbie,Derrick,Dianne and family

Mely and family- so sorry to hear of Kim’s passing. He was a well-respected physician, colleague and friend. He was always thinking of others – which is why the Dr. Kim Hong Endowment Fund was set up – to support professional development for his colleagues in nursing, radiation therapy, nutrition etc. He cared for so many and spent many long hours at the clinic. He will be missed.
My condolences David and Debbie. I knew your father through the Men’s Club at Gower Church. Take care
So sorry to hear of your loss. Kim was a good friend to my father, Alex Janes, and they were certainly coffee buddies at McDonald’s! He was also a good support when my dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2013., and I take comfort in seeing Kim’s portrait at the Cancer Centre as my husband has been going through cancer treatment this past two years. What a wonderful legacy your father has left behind! Thinking of you, especially during a particularly difficult time for families to be grieving . On behalf of my own family family (Darcy, John and Glenn Cribb) and my stepmother (Heather Janes), I send deepest condolences.
He was a wonderful doctor, compassionate and honest. He served our province well. Sincere condolescenses to his family.
My sincere condolences to the Hong Family. Kim was great friend to my late father. I met him just a few times but his warmth and kindness shined through him. When I was sick he offered great advice. His influence will go on for generations. Our loss is heaven’s gain.
So saddened when we heard the news about Dr. Hong.. Someone so special can never be forgotten.
Our family is keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Dr. Hong’ s Family
Heartfelt condolences on passing Dr. Hong. I have known him from HSC for many, many years, a quiet gentle Dr. to his patients and no matter what your status in the health care system he always spoke to everyone with a smile and chat. He was a special Dr. that knew all his patients and cared for them unconditionally. Be proud of your loving son, husband, father, grandfather for he was a special man whom I’m sure loved each and every one of you in his own gentle, loving way.
Dear Mely and family, I was saddened to read of the passing of Kim. My memories of Kim go back many years when my late husband John and Kim went to University together. He was so many things to so many, but to you and your family he was your treasured husband, father ,grandfather, son and brother. May your memories and your love sustain you as you mourn his passing. I offer you my deepest condolences. May the peace of God enfold you.

Dean, Cheryl and the entire Hong Family;;
Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time, May the beautiful memories that you have help bring you peace.
So sorry to hear this. I remember meeting Dr. Hong on my first day as an oncology nurse in 1986. I have many memories that taught me, as well as some that make me laugh. I received a grant from the Endowment Fund and he presented it to me, this allowed me to attend an international cancer patient navigator conference. He will be sadly missed, but his legacy will live on. My thoughts are with his family at this time.
Dear Hong family – I’m a friend of Dave Hong, and just wanted to pass along my condolences. I never had the chance to meet Dave’s wonderful father, but this obituary captured and moved me. What a special man and life journey!
Many of his wonderful traits I can see in Dave. I lost my father more than 30 years ago now, but the nice thing I have found as my grief slowly receded, is that the good, fun positive memories of my father have stayed there even to today 30 years later. I will hope and pray that you all have the same experience. I’m very sorry for your loss – take care – Rick Hayes
