Dr. Won S Cynn

Dr. Won Sik Cynn died on August 22, 2026, in Moorestown, New Jersey, at the age of 90. He passed away peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by his loved ones. Born on June 26, 1936, in Korea, Dr. Cynn built a life guided by his great love for his patients, colleagues, friends and, most of all, his family. He earned his medical degree from Yonsei Severance Medical School, where he formed a close circle of friends with whom he would share the rest of his life. He went on to a distinguished career reflecting both breadth of training and sustained dedication to his profession. From 1961 to 1965, Dr. Cynn served as an army physician, including several months in the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. After his military service, he continued his medical training in the United States. He was a medical intern at Huron Road Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, and in 1966 became a psychiatry resident at Philadelphia General Hospital. He then pursued radiology, serving as a radiology resident at the Graduate Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania from 1967 to 1971. Following his residency, Dr. Cynn joined the faculty of the New Jersey College of Medicine in Newark, where he taught for two years. He later returned to the radiology department at the University of Pennsylvania, where he taught and did clinical work for many years, mostly at Graduate Hospital. He specialized in gastrointestinal radiology using barium. He also practiced at Mercy Hospital in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, for three years before retiring. Across the course of his professional life, medicine remained the central thread, weaving together military service, hospital training, teaching, and many years of clinical practice. Dr. Cynn’s deep care and attention also extended beyond his patients and students. He travelled the world, keeping a long bucket list of places and experiences he hoped to see. He was deeply interested in archaeology and history, and he followed current events with close attention. He enjoyed the opera and was a lifetime fan of Philadelphia sports. Most of all, he extended his loving attention to every person in his life. He also took pleasure in bringing friends and family together to share good food and fine wine. These interests formed an important part of the life he built and the company he kept over the years. He is remembered by 주진자 / Jhin Jha Cynn his beloved wife of 58 years; his son, David, and David’s wife, Alice Kim, along with their children, Sebastian (20), Brenton (16), and Quentin (16) ; his daughter, Christine Cynn, and her spouse, Valentin Manz; his sister, 신영식 / Young-Sik Shin; his sister, 신부식 / Bu-Sik Shin; and his brother, 신광식 / Kwang Sik Shin.
