The following is Kan's Facebook, with postings back to
1967:

The following links provide some personal sense of Kan as
himself:
1) Dec 14, 2016 Kan wrote: "Both of our children
in the US are coming to see us in Tokyo next
week. So, our entire family will celebrate this
holiday season together in Tokyo. I hope this
will not be our last..."
2) Kan speaks at the
start of this video (January 2010) ... but the
rest is the sky and crows:

3) June 23, 2016 Kan wrote: "My
best friend, Kazuo Ooka passed away earlier this week in
New York City. He and I shared good times and bad
together. Both of us worked hard with pride being an
immigrant with a dream. He was a great man who was kind to
everyone."

Sad news. For the many
people who have benefited from Kan's work,
does anyone know of a web page (facebook?)
that provides information on Kan himself ?

It is with sadness that I report that Kan died in Tokyo on Friday evening 31st March 2017.
He had an incurable degenerative lung disease that had been getting worse over the past few years. In the last year he had increasingly frequent visits to hospital but nevertheless, his death was sudden and unexpected.
Vale Kan.
