saying goodbye

Last night, Satoshi got a message from one of his friends that their university baseball sempai (elder), Sumitomo-san had passed away.

Satoshi had just spoken with him during the summer, so he was in shock.

This was the sempai that introduced Satoshi to Shigezushi when we lived in Osaka.

Satoshi left after lunch to be able to attend the wake tonight as well as the funeral service tomorrow in Osaka.

I'd only met him once (I think), he was a nice man.

Thank you for everything Sumitomo-san, rest in peace.
