George moved from Long Branch, New Jersey to El Paso, Texas, where he honorably retired from the United States Army with over 20 years of service. Although he received various awards and recognition with the U.S. Army, George would make it known to everyone that his greatest achievement was his family.

He will be remembered for his virtue and strong moral compass, as well as his “child at heart” personality and teasing jokes. His love for fishing, bowling, and traveling will be missed.
He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Yon Kim, and his three children, Licia Dockery, Hyun Kim, Jr., and Krystal Kim. He is loved and greatly missed.
