I discovered this poem 15 yrs ago from an anonymous author after one of my closests friends passed away.  I would like to now dedicate this poem to my CEO & to anyone who's lost someone who has made a positive impact in their life like he has in mine.

You never said I'm leaving,

You never said Good-Bye.

You were gone before we knew it,

and only God knew why.

A million times we needed you,

a million times we cried.

If Love alone could save you,

You never would of died.

In life we love you dearly,

In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place

that no one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

but you didn't go alone.

For part of us went with you,

the day God took you home.

To Leonard Aoyama .... Thank you for all that you are and for all that you've done in not only my life but everyone else that you have touched.  We love you & You'll forever be remembered!

p.s. IMHO...The two most priceless gifts from GOD are (1) the special people that were placed into

your life & (2) the great moments or memories that you shared with them.  Life is short, live to love & love to live!
