Condolences.
85% of my teeth were fixed by Dr. Kawata. He guaranteed his works "rest of his life time". He was my hero and I miss him so much.
With prayers.

Dr. Kawata was a generous friend. We had a mutual respect for each other's work and I admired his devotion to his patients. He will be missed.
