真情无价. 永懐故友

週二午后我们来到德州休斯敦赫门公园的日本花园,参加了故友格兰之冥诞纪念日,和休斯敦大学教授洛旦索伉儷参加纪念格兰长櫈使用仪式,同时缅懐这位数十年之挚友及商业伙伴。

有着美国德州寿司王称号的格兰,在他七十多年之岁月中,充满了精彩和荣耀,他常告诉别人他是出生在美国的第三代日裔,由於家境不错从小就衣物不缺,大学时就参加父母之餐饮事业,夫人凯蒂是他小学时的青梅竹马，当年在休斯敦西区着名的东京园餐厅是我们相识并经常参加各项政治社交集会之中心。

二十年来,我们成立休斯敦国际贸易中心,创建环球第一银行及老人公寓计划，他都是出钱出力,只要我有要求他都会全力以赴,出钱出力，是位名符其实之社会公益慈善家。

今天赫门公园的日本公园阳光普照，风和日丽,近五十位格兰之亲朋好友在绿茵地上再次站在他的彩照之前,他的微笑充满在我们爱他的友人心田中,格兰在另外一个世界必定感受到我们的温情关怀和思念。

回程时再次座在纪念他的长櫈上,抚摸着嵌有他名字的铜牌,泪眶仍然泛红,我们的情谊是多麼永恆而坚强。

True Friendship Is Priceless. Old Friends Are Eternal.

This is a beautiful and meaningful day as we commemorate our dear friend Glen Gondo at the Japanese Garden in Hermann Park in Houston, Texas. Glen was an extraordinary individual who lived a rich and fulfilling life. He was known as the "Sushi King of Texas," and he was also a true philanthropist.

Glen‘s contribution to so many community projects included the Houston International Trade Center, the Senior apartment project and the newly founded Global One Bank. He is still our true friend and business partner.
The image of Glen’s photo is surrounded by his love ones and many friends on the grass under the sunny sky as we all share a touching moment, full of memories and gratitude for his presence in our life.

Sitting on the monorail bench dedicated for Glen, feeling the touch of his nameplate, despite the tears, reflects the deep and eternal bond of friendship that we all share. Glen is in his new realm knowing he is missed and cherished by those who loved him.
It‘s evident that Glen’s legacy lives on through the stories and memories shared by friends and family, a living testament to the impact he had on those around him.
