West Harford resident and business owner Seongtae “Bob” Cho, passed away on Sunday, February 19, 2023.
His love and fascination for the mountains led him on a group hiking trip to Colchuck Peak in Washington, where a snow avalanche claimed his life.
"Bob was a compassionate person who always put others’ needs first. He constantly had a smile on his face and an abundance of hugs with his greetings.
Bob was the head of the household and is survived by his wife Mijeong and their three children Charles, Cecilia, and Christopher. The devastation and heartache his family is experiencing from his sudden passing cannot be expressed. The harsh reality of carrying on with Bob’s business, having to make ends meet and continue to support their children’s education completely falls on his wife Mijeong.
The Cho family has consistently been willing to help anyone in need. This time, we can be there for them. This time, our community can come together to aid the Cho family in desperate circumstances. While the family needs your emotional support, financial support is crucial for the next several months.
Thankfully, Bob’s body was recovered and will be flown back to Connecticut. any donations to help his family during this difficult time will be greatly appreciated."
