Tak was born on July 13, 1930, he lived a long and blessed life, and passed away peacefully at home on January 14, 2021. Although he lived with Parkinson’s for many years, he still enjoyed time with his family, going to his grandchildren’s sports events, dinners with family and friends, traveling to reunions and conferences, and attending church.
He was an architect and artist, man of faith, veteran of the Korean War, generous supporter of family and friends, lover of sports and more specifically, a Forty Niner Faithful.
His quirky sense of humor, love of his family and friends, devotion to his church, and love of all things food will be greatly missed.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. The Foundation is the world's largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson's research, with more than $800 million in high-impact research funded to date.
