Obituary of Tae H. Kwon

Dr. Tae H. Kwon, of Briarcliff Manor, NY, passed away on Sept 20, 2018. Tae is survived by his wife Munja Kwon, and his sons Young Kwon and John Kwon. Tae had five grandchildren. Tae devoted his life to medicine and helping others, and practiced gynecologic oncology for many years in Westchester County. Tae was born in Taegu, South Korea in 1941, and received his medical degree from Seoul National University in South Korea before marrying in 1969 and moving with his new wife to the United States. Together, Tae and Munja built a new life, starting in New York, where both sons were born. Tae's medical training took him around the US, and the family lived in New York, Maryland, and Mississippi during the 1970's and 1980's. Tae developed a love for golf in his 40's, and a fondness for gardening later in life. Tae spent many years focused on patient care, and only when he retired did he really focus on taking care of himself.
