Ngoy Kashimoto

Kashimoto was the most gentle and intelligent person I have ever met. His thoughtfulness and kindness were evident during each of our conversations. I had the great fortune to meet him and then meet with him every Saturday for the past five years, as he helped me develop my french language skills and as he helped me see the world through his eyes. I cannot believe that we will no longer share a tea/coffee at Tim Horton's. His presence in the world and in my life will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to his family. Kashimoto, tu me manques.

À Francine et la famille,

Il y a des gens qui passent dans notre vie et qui nous marquent à jamais. Kashim est une de ces personnes. J'ai été édifiée par sa douceur, sa gentillesse et son intelligence. Ce fut un grand privilège de le connaître. Toute ma vie, je garderai précieusement dans mon coeur les bons moments passés en sa compagnie. Qu'il repose en paix!!

Je souhaite la paix intérieure à toute la famille. Mes sincères condoléances.

Par la presente nous offrons nos sinceres condoleances a toute la famille Ngoy.

Cy and Family

We are very sorry for the loss of you Dad,please accept our deepest condolences

Kashimoto was my teacher and colleague. He was a warm and compasionate man who will be greatly missed. Please accept my condolences.

Kashimoto was one of the most kind and gentle people I have ever encountered. I always admired his passion for learning and his spirit. Kashimoto dear, you will be very sorely missed and I will keep all the advice you gave me with me for the rest of my life.

My most heartfelt sympathy to his loved ones.

C’est avec grande tristesse que je reçois les mauvaises nouvelles du décès de mon professeur et ami Kashimoto. Pendant sa vie trop courte, il a fait une grande impression sur chacun qui a eu le privilège de lui connaître. Je vais garder les bons souvenirs de nos conversations pendant nos classes, dans lesquelles j’ai appris beaucoup plus que la langue française.

Je voudrais exprimer mes condoléances sincères à sa famille et ses proches. Kashimoto restera dans mes prières.

Adieu Saint Kashimoto!

Dear Family Kashimoto

My sincerest sympathies on the passing of Kashimoto. As one of his many French students, he made the class stimulating with his teaching me on his academic writings on Kant and made me look forward to French class. We would greet each other with "Saint Kashimoto" "Saint Peter" accordingly before each class and share our thoughts on important subjects like the Toronto Maple Leafs and Coach's Corner. Why he willingly chose the Leafs to cheer for, I do not know. An intellegent, humble and great soul, I think I speak for many when I say he was a friend to many and an inspiration to many, many more. He will be missed.

With deepest respect,

Peter Sharp
