Ken was a great friend growing up. Although adult life separated us, as happens with so many we still care about. When I think on Ken’s passing, the World seems emptier and I am profoundly sad. God bless Terumi.

Ken was a colleague, a neighbor, and a friend of mine in Japan. I have only just heard the sad news so it’s quite a shock but I remember some good times and what a genuinely nice man he was.
