Charles C.H. Park: Memorial Service/Celebration of Life
Thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers. Our family would not be here other than myself due to the health conditions of my aunt; the closed-family service is in Korea on the 31st. If anyone wants to make a pilgrim to Korea some day and visit Charles's urn, I can let you know details.
Charles had a whole family here in the US - you guys. I realised how devastated everyone is and given the circumstances, I know Charles would hate to see everyone in this state. Therefore, this memorial service/celebration will be dedicated to Charles's dear friends.
We will be remembering Charles and celebrating his life on the weekend (April 12th-13th).
We will behave for the service but not so much for the reception. Charles would not want people to be drenched in sorrow and rather preferred people to celebrate his legacy with degeneracy.
If you can by the 6th of April, please upload your photos/videos of Charles on
