We may not be able to attend the funeral service today due to illness (cold or flu) in our house. We would not want to spread germs to others. We remember Jim as a true gentleman and Christian inspiration. For a very long time we attended the "small group" sessions at the home of Jim and Young Kak and learned much. The hospitality shown by Jim and Young Kak was tremendous. They always had a way of making people feel that they were special in some way. While we have met the other members of Jim's family from time to time, we know Tokio and his family from many years ago. Tokio and family - we share your loss. May the Lord give you all the peace of understanding as promised by our Lord. We are pleased for the opportunity of being able to send an on-line condolence. A wonderful innovation of funeral homes in fairly recent years.
