I learned Japanese language from Jim at Towson State. But also much more from him about patience, healthy life style and good humor. Sorry to hear of his passing.

I now just found out about the passing of Mr Furukawa. I enjoyed serving him and his wife Emi at Rite Aid pharmacy. He was a blessing to me, my condolences to his family. God bless you and too bad I missed out on hanging out in Hawaii, in heaven we shall meet.

I'm so sad to see Jim Furukawa has passed. I truly felt he would live forever. He had such a great zest for life. His contributions can never be measured.

I can't believe that Jim has passed. He was one of the most generous, brightest, accomplished, friendly, and wonderful people I have ever known. May he rest in peace.
