Southborough – James W. Hong, 43, formerly of Boston, lost his courageous battle with lung cancer Thursday, March 1, 2012. He died peacefully with dignity, surrounded by his family.
He was the beloved and adored husband of Suzanne Brown Hong and irreplaceable Daddy to Corey, Chloe, and Haley. He was the much loved son of Beck Fong Hong of Boston and the late Leung Hong and brother to Philip Hong and his wife Kim, Karen Wong and her husband Henry, William Hong and his wife Lillie, and Linda Dennis and her husband Tony.
