Park Q. Jeong

Park Q. Jeong, also known as “Eddy”, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on January 14, 2014. He leaves to cherish his memory; his wife, Sally Y. Jeong; sons, Augustine Fong (Cristina), Edward Jeong (Lupita), David Jeong (Lourdes), Arthur Jeong and Robert William Jeong (Leticia); daughers, Ruby Chan (Pak), Annie White (Bob) and Terry Ann Rosas; 23 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren with one on the way. He was preceded in death by his son, Ignatius Fong (Mercedes). He was born on November 24, 1922 in San Francisco, CA and grew up in Macau,China. He came to Nogales in 1960 to manage the National Dollar Store with whom he had worked for a total of 25 years. In 1973 he founded Dandy’s Jean Store which he ran alongside his family. He was a dedicated Rotarian for many years-so much so, that he took a year off from work to travel with the Rotary Club. He was such a loyal Rotarian that he embraced ‘The Four-Way Test’ as his own “law of living”. Park Jeong was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather that worked hard to provide a good living and education to his family. He was a caring boss to his employees and made many friends throughout his lifetime. In his past-time he enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas, watching his collection of recorded movies, eating his favorite meal Dim-Sum and maintaining his health by walking at Pierson High School. Known in the past as “El Paisano De Nogales”, Park Jeong, a true Nogales Icon, will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

The Rotary Four-Way Test 1.Is it the TRUTH? 2.Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3.Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4.Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
