Theodore Kuwana

Dear Ellen, Thank you for creating this wonderful, loving tribute to your father. I was out of town and sorry to miss gathering for Ted at the Lied Center, and now I learn so much about his extraordinary life reading your essay. It was striking to learn that he and Jane had been at UC Riverside at the same time that my nisei father (Haruo Tashiro) was a research professor of entomology there (from @1963-1968; our family lived on Celeste Drive). It was also striking that he had spent time...

For some unknown reason, Ted's name just came to mind. Ted was a friend, dorm-mate and volunteer fireman at Antioch. Together, we played basketball on the Maples team. I add these recollections of a young Ted as an inclusion to his distinguished career in chemistry.

Hey Dr. K, Sorry I missed you on your way out. I always wanted to tell you this; better late than never. You profoundly changed my life, and thank you for seeing me and recognizing my talents. RIP, Milo.

So sorry to hear the news of the passing of your Father Eric. What he has done for the world of Chemistry is unbelievably impressive...but even more so his raising of a terrific family. What a wonderful obituary your sister wrote of him and his many accomplishments. Thoughts and prayers my friend.

Hugs to you and your family Eric What an amazing man your father is as well as your life and career.

Dear Jane, Ellen, and Eric, I am so sorry to learn that Ted has gone. What an amazing, inspiring life he led. He was a lovely, gentle man of great talent and industry. I will remember him with fond appreciation and admiration for all the good works he did.

I send my deep condolances. Ted was a great scientist and a fondly remembered friend.

Dear Jane and family, So sorry to read about Ted´s passing. Our condolences at this difficult time.

Jane, thank you for reminding us what a remarkable person Ted was. We were lucky to have him at KU when we did.
