December 2020. A month ago I received a phone call from Jiro’s roommate in San Francisco that Jiro passed away sometime in October or November.
I’d like to take a moment and share what a great friend Jiro aka Melvin (as we knew him when he worked at the Trident) was. In fact, without Jiro this website wouldn’t exist. He supported my efforts here personally and financially from the very beginning.
At work, as in life, Jiro always had your back. Jiro had a very dry if not sometimes caustic sense of humor which was wonderfully appropriate working with him at the Trident. He was someone you looked forward to working with. He was also one of the more honest people you’d ever meet. As cliche as this may sound he walked his talk and his word was his bond.
