Shoichi "Sho" Kimura

He was a wonderful professor. I learned from him during my MS and PhD program. May his soul rest in peace.

I share my sadness when I remember Professor Kimura. He was a gentle, disciplined man and a great mentor for his students. He will be missed.

Kiko I had no idea Sho had cancer. He and I share a birth year and I like to think of us as having much more life to live. He was such a brilliant and kind person that he will be remembered fondly and with great respect by all who knew him. I remember being in your beautiful home learning to make sushi. Although Sho was at work, I could tell by the care of your home and fondness as you spoke of him that you had a wonderful relationship. May your memories and your daughters help to ease your...
