About

For those who don't know me, my name is Matthew. I want to say a few words in memory of my best friend and roommate.

Yuro James Daikichi lived a remarkable life, one that inspired me greatly. His adventurous attitude, his broad range of interests, and his happy demeanor made him a wonderful person to know. He was patient, and generous with his time and affection.

He always took an interest in the people he met: there were few people he wouldn't engage at any time or place. I introduced him to many of my friends over the years, and they always told me how interesting he'd been.

Yuro pursued his many endeavors diligently, and always rose to meet a challenge. He was philosophical in his approach to life. He especially had a great perspective when it came to the little things, never displaying anger or impatience. Instead, he showed a great dignity and humor. Extending this philosophy no matter what obstacle he faced.

I'll miss his perspective and his gentle humor. I'll miss the surprising depth and scope of his knowledge. I'll miss the warmth he extended to everyone he met.

I will miss my bestriend dearly. But I will treasure his memory forever. emo
