In 2009, Charles and I were part of the Irving Village Community, a group that sought to re-purpose the Irving Middle School building in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Charles believed in me as a writer - publicly - and I am saddened to learn that this positive, uplifting and funny man is no longer with us. Gone but not forgotten.

I read the obituary of my friend, Charles Sakai, in the Gazette this morning. He was a man full of contradictions ...a Republican who spent much of his time looking out for people in need... A Morman of Japanese descent... a gentle soul who had spent almost twenty years in the Army ... and a man who loved to read the craziest stories I could write , and sanely discuss them over a cup of coffee. He would have enjoyed the idea that he had reached some measure of immortality, as he will be long remembered by those who loved him.

Charles was a dedicated volunteer for DBSA Colorado Springs, and I was privileged to have known him. May you rest in peace.
