Liz here. Information about the services for Allan to be held in Scotland on the second. I am still at a loss for words , but am sure Ayako and Hannah know how much Allan touched our lives, and how much he will be missed.

Kirk here. In a comment to Joe's post informing us of Allan Sutherland's passing, I wrote that "Allan was a man of many talents: music, photography, cooking . . . a very erudite person." Here's a comment from Allan that gives you a sense of that erudition. Like Eugene Smith he was extremely knowledgable about jazz and photography, and a very sensitive person.
Joe Tomei with the sad news that Allan Sutherland has passed away. Allan was part of the Kumamoto-i community early on, when it was a Yahoo group email list and he and his wife were key supporters of the the foreign teachers at Kumamoto Prefectural University. I'm sure that Kirk may have some things to say, but a memory that stands out for me was that Allan often organized informal home jazz concerts for jazz musicians visiting Fukuoka, and I went to a few of these. He's survived by his wife Ayako Chinen Sutherland and daughter Hannah.

It may not be unusual for people who lived or worked near Kumamoto Castle, but I spent every day of the past year in the immediate vicinity of Kumamoto Castle. And that year went without a hitch.
