Dear Friends,
The Korean Division of IADR (KADR)
deeply regrets having to announce the passing of Dr. Ju-Whan Kim, a much adored
and beloved grandfather, father and professor, who died peacefully in his sleep
after a short illness, on August 30th, in Seoul, Korea. He was 91.
Dr.
Ju-Whan Kim, also known as Beom-Ho, was Professor Emeritus of Seoul National
University School of Dentistry and the Founding President of KADR in 1981.
Most memorably, he was an inspiring leader and a respected and
compassionate mentor to many students whom now succeed his legacy as leading
members of KADR. In 1989, his extremely generous donations to KADR
established the Beom-Ho Young Researcher Award, which has been awarded each
year at the annual meeting of KADR. Professor Ju-Whan Kim will be dearly
missed.
