Tanase sensei

It was a sad news. Tanase sensei past away this morning. Although I haven't seen him for more than 15 years, I have clear memories of him.
When we moved back from Ecador, he was the one helped us in manyways. I remember calling him Jittan, which means grandpa, back then.
He translated a lot of English books into Japanese. I think he published some of his books, also. Now he is with God in heaven sharing his big smiley face.
