Riki was the articulate one. He could give a speech and make it sound like a symphony. It's with heavy heart I'm here to tell you what kind of man he was. I thought I knew, but never truly did until he was in the valley. The true testament of character is proven in the valley. He endured so much pain after his cancer diagnosis, but he remained strong and hopeful and battled it like a true warrior. He did his research, and was able to survive years longer than he would if he had done nothing. It was during that time, while he was in emise agony did I truly discover the man he was. He remained kind, wise, humble and if stricken with such, I can only hope to remain as gracious. I'm very proud of the man he proved to be and honored to call him my twin brother. It was important for Riki to make other men aware to get their PSA test early and on a regular basis. Early detection may prevent an untimely death.
