Dr. Bob, you were so happy when I saw you last year in the dialogues.
It’s a shame that I didn’t get to know you earlier until COVID time after I already moved from Chicago to Seattle for a few years. I remembered you greeting me in one of the AKRI online community meeting and you were happy to see one more Asian face on the screen.
You are such a soft, kind, witty, weird, and thoughtful geek. I sometimes confused and also admired the things you are insisting in. Now I have a fantasy if I took your advice to be on the board with you, would it shift the trajectory of your life at all? I don’t need anything majestic but just enough to keep you still alive.
I cannot believe the fact that your life was taken in a city that I happened to have to go to multiple times this year.
I hope I’ll encounter your soul when I visit the city again this winter. I’ll remember your spirit as always.
