Raji became a good friend over the last few years. He was a funny guy with just enough NY moxy to make you laugh while telling you how much better you looked when you first met. We often spoke baseball and his dream was to have Ohtani join the Mets. I hope this happens so I can think of Raji during every Ohtani at bat.

I would like to offer my condolences for the loss of your Raji. Raji was very kind, gentle and wonderful to me. My husband and I watched baseball and went out to dinner with Raji and he was very cheerful and a great friend. I will really miss him and always cherish the memories of him.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences on the passing of Raji. Raji was the best of the best, bar none. My wife Hiroko and myself 1st met Raji in 2016 playing tennis in Tokyo. We became best of friends and thoroughly enjoyed playing tennis, numerous Yakult Swallows games at Jingu Stadium, and breaking bread together on numerous occasions. Hiroko and I returned to Vienna, Virginia, one year ago. Raji and I continued to be almost in daily communication whenever the Swallows were playing. Raji’s passing at such a young age shocked and saddened us tremendously. Our deepest condolences and sympathies to all of you on the passing of such a fine, loving and entertaining person as was Raji. May the Good Lord bless and watch over Raji Sama and all of you.

The Nomad

The nomad, the foraging soul, the seasonal traveler and trader merchant represents who we are in our life path

The nomad brings a special set of skills to not only thrive in their market speaking local languages understanding regional customs

The nomad that exemplifies these special qualities bring a tale of stories to share, ways to transact business are the embodiment of a richer man

The nomad, a true nomad, whom I will honor today may have passed but will forever be the legend and the many stories we all have heard and witnessed

Your legacy lives large in our hearts
