Died in 2015. His name was Dr Ron Yoshino. I found this out this year through a tweet from congressman Jimmy Gomez who coincidentally also had him as a professor. Gomez was still an assemblyman at the time and honored him in the state legislature through a moment of silence.

Sometimes we take our teachers for granted until we realize how much of an impact they really had on us…

May they Rest In Peace and in our hearts forever.
