In Loving Memory of Yi (Tony) Kouch

Yi Kouch, better known to his friends and family as Tony, passed away battling stage 4 colon cancer and end stage heart failure at the age of 68. He was surrounded by his loving family in his final weeks and gave his last breath at home while holding on to his son's hand. He was smiling and stoic until the very end and even then, wanted to ease our pain. We wish we had more time with him, but we are glad that he is no longer suffering. 

Tony was a man loved by many. He was a wonderful father, husband, brother, uncle and friend. He had a very calm, easygoing and pleasant nature about him. Whenever you greeted Tony, you always got a smile back, no matter what. This is why we all loved him. He was a jokester and knew how to make everyone around him laugh and smile. He easily made friends all over the world throughout his lifetime and we (his children) would enjoy hearing all of his stories. Our dad had all the patience in the world and we are so grateful to him. We miss him tremendously.

Thank you to everyone for all of your love, support, and food during this difficult time! We also send our love and prayers out to those families having to endure profound losses during this pandemic.
