Dear Aoki family,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful father. I remember your father as always being very friendly, warm-hearted, and a wonderful chef of Japanese food! I got to know your family when I worked as a dishwasher at the Akebono in summer 1980 while I was in college. I had so much fun, and I can't tell you how delightful it was to experience Japanese language and Japanese American life in Denver (since I am not a Nikkeijin). I always have warm memories of that summer with you. (Remember the security peephole my father installed in the Akebono's back door?). Now I am a professor in Busan, South Korea, teaching about Japan to graduate students here. Amazingly, I just discovered your father's passing while looking on the internet today, June 21, 2012. I will be praying that you will find comfort and peace in this time of loss. Best wishes always to Rex, Midori, Shana, and the other members of your family.
