The world has lost another good man on June 21, 2026. Bong Jim Woo passed away peacefully at
home.

Jimmy was a loving husband, excellent father, good friend, and a successful restaurateur.
He was born in Canton, China; married Tina; and moved to Seattle.

We love you, Dad/Grandpa. Thank you for everything and being you. We will all miss you.
