We were all very shocked. 
Our father was healthy and vibrant for a 92-year-old. 
He loved life in every way and enjoyed the simplest things like walking in the garden and eating a delicious meal.
He happily sang his favourite songs, read his beloved books till the late hours, debated politics, and demonstrated tai chi to his grandchildren. He was watching old French movies on TV when I saw him in the summer. 
Now it's autumn, and I think how much my father loved the changing colours of the Canadian landscape.

A week before he passed away, he remarked to his caregiver, "What a wonderful life!"
 
Sadly for us, it is also a fragile life.
Our father became ill on Sunday, October 16 while at home.
He recovered a little in the doctor's care, but on Wednesday morning (Toronto time 9.37), while my younger sister, Irene, was at his bedside, and I was on Skype with them, he suddenly fell unconscious and slipped away. 

He did not suffer, and this was how he wanted to go, peacefully and at home, his home of 46 years.
His mind was sharp and lucid to the very end.

 Warm regards,
Angie Chang

Dear Ms.Angie Chang,

ED just wrote to me "waiting Autumn colored maple leaf in Toronto" on October 6.

It shocked me very much receiving your mail. I am very, very sad.


He is going to heaven where his wife is waiting for him.


With deepest sympathy,

彼岸過ぎて　東京は　急に寒くなったけれど　今日あたりは暑さのぶり返しで
大汗をかいてしまいました　　けれども明日１０月からは
やはり　秋の陽気になるようです。
 
貴地の気候は如何ですか？
 
お体ご大切に

Dear Yamatan,      

  ご親切なお見舞い有り難う。
机の前に永く座ると疲れるので、早速返事も出さず、失礼しました。
「暑さ寒さも彼岸まで」と言う諺は、洋の東西を問わず適切です。　
彼岸後のぶり返しが小春日和でしたか。カナダでは、Indian summer　と言います。

これから半月もすれば、トロント市内のメープルリーブが一斉に色を変えるので、楽しく待っています。

どうぞお体をご大事に。

Dear Mr. Yamazaki,

Thank you for your comforting words. 


I know he has gone to see our mother.  He asked us to dress him in his favourite woollen vest she knitted for him, so that she would recognize him.


Thank you for passing the news to Josuikai and to the December Club. 
He spoke of you and his wonderful time in university in his "French class" very often. 

I know that you and he were the youngest in the class.  He enjoyed many happy years of correspondence with you, and your presence in his life contributed to his longevity.


Please keep well.  Thank you again for your friendship to our father, ED.

Sincerely,
Angie

5組　重松　輝彦　君　弔辞

図らずも、貴兄の、訃報に接し万感胸に迫ります。

思えば、７５年前一橋に入学して以来の長いおつきあいでした。

中山伊知郎先生のゼミナールでご一緒し、頭の回転のよいさわやかな青年であった事を、懐かしく思いだしております。

大変寂しくなりました。

心よりご冥福を、お祈りしております。
