I worked with Keiji and remember Janice. I well remember how they loved their children throughout his working career, always doing things for the family, like reinforcing their 2-story home with plywood sheets, to prevent earthquake damage, etc. Then purchasing pc computers so they'd have a leg up on the latest technology. They were terrific partners and will always be remembered.
