Haeng Ju Kong

Haeng Ju Kong 9/04/50 - 2/28/21 Born in South Korea, Haeng Ju Kong was the spirited, smart second son of DukJong Kong and DuSoon (Bae) Kong and a graduate of Yonsei University. One of his favorite memories of his university days was participating in the theatre. In 1978, he immigrated to the U.S with his wife, Cindy (Park) Kong and located in Riverdale, NY just in time for the birth of his son, Andrew Kong. In 1980, he welcomed his daughter, Juliet (Kong) Stiehl. Throughout his life, HJ was a vivacious, funny dad who tirelessly worked several jobs, with the goal of ensuring that his children were afforded every educational opportunity and the chance to achieve the "American Dream." While our childhood was filled with piano and violin lessons and, of course, laser focus on our schooling, it was also filled with family vacations, with my Dad driving all of us in his beloved minivan to Niagara Falls, the Cape and Florida. Dad was very committed to bringing us to various amusement parks and riding roller coasters with us. He was always there to champion our performances at our games, concerts and competitions. He also loved to play cards, eat Korean food and sushi (the joke is that "when the fish in the ocean could hear HJ coming, they would swim away"), sing karaoke and watch his Korean TV shows. And of course, he loved family trips to Vegas! He was both outgoing and welcoming and in that vein, he embraced both his son-in-law, George, and daughter-in-law, Joan to our family. But in his life, nothing seemed to bring him more joy than being with his grandchildren: James Stiehl (10), Charlotte Stiehl(6), Matthew Kong (9) and Elizabeth Kong (3). He was "fun harahbuhgee" who would play hide and seek and get in light saber fights with his grandsons. He would let Charlotte paint his nails and clap loudly while she performed her impromptu dance routines. He told my brother, Andrew, that his proudest moment as a father was when my brother adopted my niece, Elizabeth. And that is the core of Dad's heart. So it is with deep sadness that we say goodbye to this loving, cheerful husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather. We mourn the loss of your presence in our future, but we also are thankful for the memories we have. We love you and we already so greatly miss you, Apah. Dad's last few years were a challenge due to pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary Fibrosis is a general diagnosis when there is scarring of the lung tissue, which can never be regenerated or healed and ultimately impact one's ability to breathe and supply oxygen to one's body. It can cause great suffering for those who are diagnosed with it. And so, we ask that those who wish to do something for our family, please consider donating to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Donations in honor of my father will go to: • Finding effective treatments and a cure for pulmonary fibrosis• Advocating for the pulmonary fibrosis community • Promoting disease awareness • Providing a compassionate environment for patients and their families Please donate and together we can help those living with pulmonary fibrosis and the families of those we have lost.

Paul Galluccio

Paul Galluccio For those of you that knew Paul, he was always the life of the party. He spent every day with the biggest smile on his face, and laughing with that special twinkle in his eye. Unfortunately, in 2017, he was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. IPF is an autoimmune disease that attacks the lungs. A disease that would typically devastate any person receiving that news, only fueled his determination to live the next 3.5 years to the fullest. He never went a day without working, never went a day without calling and laughing with his closest family and friends, and never went a day thinking this disease would stop him. He spent every moment until his last being the most amazing, caring, loving, determined, and brave man any of us have ever known. We are all so lucky to have had him in our lives and want his legacy to continue to live on forever. We as a family want to give back to the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and scientists that work so hard to battle, and try to beat this disease. We would appreciate, in lieu of flowers, to please donate in the name of Paul Galluccio, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found.

Deborah Thompson

Deborah Ann (Sarley) Thompson July 23, 1950 to August 6, 2021 Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. — unknown We feel her smile, laughter, and hugs all around. It’s impossible to believe that she is not here with us. Instead, we carry her in our hearts with the determination she had in hers, choosing to remember the happiness and love that she shared with us. If you asked what was most important in her life, she would most certainly tell you, family. Mother, wife, grammy, sister, and friend—she was so much to so many. She followed her dreams wherever they took her, and we followed right along. Her sense of adventure had us living on farms in Missouri and Virginia, then on the water in Florida. Her boundless energy (how could someone so small, have such endless reserves?) and love of real estate saw us turning (often run down…) houses into homes. When we think of her, we remember all the wonderful experiences we shared together. Annual Christmas tree hunts, cookie baking, ornament making, marshmallow roasting, warm summer days in the garden (and a winter full of canned goods to remind us of summer!), sun-filled days at the beach, cold winter nights on the farm waking up to baby lambs being bottle-fed and warmed in our home. And so, so many meals and cookouts filled with laughter, family, and friends—and her (dare we say world-famous?) lasagna, homemade ice cream, fresh-cut watermelon slices, and warm strawberry rhubarb pie. Though we lost her way too soon, we know she rests in peace having lived a well-loved life. She is survived by a family she loved and adored including her husband of 50 years, Randal Thompson. Her daughter Janelle Thompson Caplan and husband Michael Caplan, and their children Taylor, Molly, Spencer, and Jonah. Her daughter Kimberly Thompson Panay and husband Panos A. Panay, and their children Lydia and Zoe. Her son Seth Thompson and wife Jessica Dru Thompson, and their daughter Deidre. Her sister Rebecca Brown and husband Martin Brown and family. And her cousins Brian Mahler, and Marcia Mahler. She is preceded in death by her parents Joseph Michael Sarley and Beverly Jean Sarley, her uncle Arthur Mahler and aunt Mary Ann Sarley Mahler, and her brothers Gregory Sarley and Joel Sarley. Condolences and messages of support may be sent to the family at 2473 La Condesa Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation in her memory by visiting: https://app.mobilecause.com/vf/PFFTribute/DeborahThompson And if you would like to celebrate her life further you can walk with us to raise awareness about pulmonary fibrosis, the disease that took her from us. Coordinated by the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, this annual event takes place this year on September 25, 2021 during pulmonary fibrosis awareness month. More information on how to join our group can be found here https://secure.qgiv.com/event/20pwal/team/883786/ or you can reach Kimberly at kimberlypanay@gmail.com.

Jatinder Jaitly As many of you know I lost my father this year to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Watching this disease take over my papa's life was truly heart-wrenching to watch. My family and I didn't quite understand this disease but realized quickly that there is no cure for it. He was on oxygen 24/7 and we fought for him to get a lung transplant. My papa was a fighter since the day he was diagnosed. He wanted nothing more but to live. This disease took not only my father but a son, husband, beloved uncle, and a friend from all of us. Even thou my father is gone he left us with some beautiful memorable lessons. He immigrated to the United States at a young age from India. My father built himself up from having nothing to making his dream come true. He was a selfless man and put his family and children before his own needs. He would have wanted for his family to continue to live in his memories and laugh at his jokes. The pulmonary fibrosis foundation has great resources and information. I'm hoping through this I can shed more light and awareness for prevention and to get treatment quickly. Unfortunately, for my father the disease already had progressed so quickly into the advanced stage that no medication or treatment could have saved his life. I'm wanting to help this foundation in order for everyone to not only gain insight but to foremost help find a cure. Thank to everyone who has taken their time to read this and to donate. My family and I are forever grateful. Please donate in the name of Jatinder Jaitly, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found.

Go to Edward "Eddie" Barr

Edward "Eddie" Barr

Edward "Eddie" Barr In December 2020, Edward was diagnosed with Dyskeratosis, a rare genetic form of bone marrow failure, the inability of the marrow to produce sufficient blood cells. While testing for his complications that came from the dyskeratosis Ed was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome and interstitial lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis). He was then told he needed a lung transplant in December 2021. Ed began testing to get on the list but then was diagnosed with colon cancer, where doctors then began viewing his options for curing the cancer. His only option with having dyskeratosis was to have colorectal surgery. On August 25th Ed had his colon surgery and was well after his recovery with minor setbacks. But a couple weeks later his body contracted an infection that caused his breathing to worsen where he ended up at Penn and passed peacefully with his family by his side. Ed always had a positive attitude throughout life. And through this journey he didn’t give up. He would tell his girls everyday he would get through this. Unfortunately, God had other plans. Ed has impacted so many lives and he truly lived his life to the fullest. People surrounding the Barr family knew the bond was inseparable. The Barr family wishes to help others and hopefully one day find a cure to help the families and patients diagnosed with dyskeratosis complicated by pulmonary.

Bhagwan Nathumal Karnani Bhagwan Nathumal Karnani was an amazing man. He was one of seven children and grew up to be an electrical engineer. Later on, he decided to become a teacher. Bhagwan worked very hard, progressed in his career and did well in life. Over the years, his health started to hold him back. And in July of 2018, he was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis The disease progressed very rapidly, soon requiring him to need oxygen 24 hours a day – destroying his way of life. In the last few years of his life, he could not walk 20 feet without gasping for breath and would have coughing bouts that were so strong he would turn blue in the face. Throughout his life Bhagwan bestowed a love of learning and education, striving for a better future. Inspired by the life he led and the passion of his family to make an impact for the future of those living with pulmonary fibrosis we hope you’ll join in honoring Bhagwan’s life.

Go to William “Bill” Birge

William “Bill” Birge

William “Bill” Birge Our Dad, Bill Birge, was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis at age 74 years old. Neither he or his family were familiar with this disease. The prognosis looked grim — as it does for everyone with IPF/PF. He wasn’t a candidate for transplant, but was prescribed medications thought to slow the progression of the disease. Thankfully, he never contracted Covid, but experienced a set-back in October 2021, and was hospitalized. He thought that was going to be “the end”. From that point forward, he was tethered to an oxygenator, basically leaving him housebound. Through the anxiety and worry he continued to fight for air until he took his final breath on October 23, 2022. He made it seven years post diagnosis, just twelve days shy of his 81st birthday — though the prognosis was 2-5 years. Bill was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Bill loved spending time with his family, being outdoors, tinkering with old tractors and engines, planting a garden, and taking photographs. He was handsome and always had a corny joke to tell. There is a hole in our hearts and he will be missed immensely, but we are comforted knowing that he no longer has to struggle to breathe. We believe that he would have wanted a world without Pulmonary Fibrosis, and that nobody has to endure the cruelty that comes with this disease. Your donation(s) will help with the development of new and effective treatments for patients — ultimately, leading to a cure for this devastating disease.

Donald Hughes

Donald Hughes, Jr Don was a kind and loving son, husband, brother, father and grandfather. He was born May 6, 1949 and left us on Aug. 18, 2022 after a long and courageous struggle with life altering and insidious Pulmonary Fibrosis. He loved all things historical, geographical and political, traveling to far off places to be immersed in castles, pyramids and lush landscapes. He loved being outdoors: watching the beauty of dusk and the setting sun; standing under cover as thunderstorms and lightening raged overhead; enjoying a starry night and locating constellations, Jupiter, Mars and Venus; taking stealthy photos of myriad "critters" as they wandered through our yard. But most of all, he cherished sharing joys and challenges with his children and grandchildren, only wishing each happiness and living a life with purpose. He lived his life with optimism and hope, even during the final difficult years in his struggle with Type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and pulmonary fibrosis. He never complained, but focused on appreciating tender moments and doing what he could to "leave on a high note." The loss of Don/Dad/Grandpa is devastating, yet we know how lucky we were to have him in our lives...our gratitude for his precious life will never diminish.
