I'm very sorry to hear about Dr. Park. I only worked for a short time at the research station, but Dr. Park quickly got to know who I was, always recognized me when we crossed paths later, and always had a friendly greeting when he saw me. He never forgot that I grew up near Florence, where he had plots for many years! I have fond memories of him - - he was a wonderful man.

Dear Kiok Han
I am sorry to hear of your loss.
Dr. Soon Jai Park was my great mentor. I still remember his clear voice.
I cannot believe last year a phone call with him was final talks.
My wife (Heekyung), father(Hyung Kon Park) and mother (Hee baek Kim) asked me to send their deepest condolences from Seoul, Korea.
Sincerely
June Park

I wish to express my deepest condolences on the passing of Dr. Soon Park. Soon was a dear friend and valued colleague as we both worked on bean breeding and genetics, Soon at Harrow and myself at Michigan State University. I deeply valued his work and missed his collaboration when he retired some 10 years ago. Soon contributed not only to the bean improvement efforts in Ontario but throughout North America with his varieties and published works. My sincere condolences to his family and friends on his passing. He will be missed.
Sincerely, Jim Kelly

Dear Members of Soon Park's family,
I would like to express my most sincere condolences to you following Soon's passing. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I regretted not being able to attend Soon's funeral due to the distance. I am a colleague from AAFC in London. When I started out as a Research Scientist working on the protein chemistry of bean, Soon was very supportive and enthusiastic and offered all kind of help and advice. He kindly introduced me to stakeholders through the Ontario Pulse Crop Research Subcommittee. Soon had a vision for the bean industry in Ontario and when he talked to the committee he was deeply respected. His achievements are remarkable and include the development of very successful, and some still very important, bean varieties for Ontario farmers. Soon was a very inspiring and generous man and I will truly miss him.

Soon was an outstanding scientist and made major contributions to Canadian agriculture. The many varieties of edible beans that he developed and made available for Canadian growers will forever establish his legacy as a prominent and dedicated public servant. Soon had a great sense of humour and was a pleasure to work with. He will be sorely missed by his many colleagues and his family. RIP.

My love and prayers to the family as they rejoice in his wonderful life and love and yet saddened by such a profound loss.
Mr. Park was such a kind, gentle man and always had a smile. Such humble intelligence as an accomplished Research Scientist.
His deep love for God, his wife and girls defined him.
What a genuine and lovely man.

Soon was a very dedicated and special researcher. He treated everyone with respect. I enjoyed working with him as his secretary and later as the HR contact at the Station.
I hope his beloved Ki Ok, Mie Ah and Jeong Ah, son-in-law and precious granddaughter can be comforted by their many memories of Soon.
I will be away and unable to attend, but hope you know that we will all carry a little piece of Soon with us.

I have so many great memories working for Dr. Park at the Research station! I learned a lot from him the year I worked and discovered a love for science...and beans! When I went back to school full time to Bible college, I came back each summer and loved having theological conversations with him as I recorded numbers in the bean fields! He was a great man and I am grateful for having known him.

삼가 조의를 표합니다.
벌써 10년이 지난 것 같네요. 저희 가족이 해로우 갔을때 박사님은 불편하신 몸으로도 항상 인자하시게 저와 가족들을 따뜻하게 맞이하여 주시고 또 제게 과학자의 선배로서 집안의 가장으로서 역할에 대해 좋은 말씀을 많이 주셨는데...
그동안 제대로 문안인사 한번 제대로 못 드리고 이렇게 부고를 접하게 되니 마음이 참 안타깝습니다.
항상 박사님의 그 마음 간직하겠습니다.
부디 편안히 영면하시길 기원합니다.

Every dry bean/coloured bean Soon bred was like a new baby to him:). He would enthusiastically show me every leaf shape, bean colour, shape and size extolling the benefits such as disease resistence, increased yield etc. This was to get the word out to anyone willing to listen what was being achieved in bean research at Harrow. His ever present smile, kindness and his work will be a lasting legacy of a wonderful man.

Soon was always so helpful, kind and friendly. He had a habit of finding the tours stopped in front of his research display and reminded them to eat more beans. Whenever you needed his help, he was quick to respond. He will be missed, but I will always fondly remember working with one of Canada's best research pioneers. My prayers are with you all.
