Yosh Nakagawa's Passing, 1/29/2022
It is with deep grief that we share that our beloved Yosh Nakagawa has gone on to glory. We join in sharing our deepest condolences to his family, his church family at Japanese Baptist Church as well as his Evergreen and greater ABC family. Our invaluable and essential water boy is now enjoying his well deserved rewards. May we who remain continue to do our best to follow in his legacy.
