    In one of my humorous slide show The Holidays. I had a couple of bonsai pictures. I took them at a guys house and garden when on an outing for mushroom pictures. A shock this week when he was missing for a couple of days and then found dead in an old out building. This was the picture that I used in the show, maybe others too.

    Gosh, that is a shame. Very sad. Do authorities know what happened?

    They say he committed suicide. At three he was in a Japanese concentration camp. He had a very sad life.

    That's too bad. Poor man. Prayers for his soul.
    I was letting my imagination run away... been reading too many murder mysteries.

    It's such a shame that the chap couldn't get help to overcome his memories and depression. It's so sad when someone feels they can't continue to live any more.

    Thanks again for the tour Kildale. I now have a variety of holidays I can try out. :-D

    So sad. Unfortunately there are wounds that time cannot heal or ease......
    What will happen to his garden now?

    Thieves have already been there. Not sure what will happen really as I didn't know him to well. He had over 200 bonsai plants basically out side.

    Sad news... especially knowing that thieves are taking advantage.
