Same here.  I had the pleasure of completing my first article for Dino Press 
some months ago, and I found Mr. Inoue not only easy to work with, but 
genuinely kind.  His passion for dinosaurs and paleontology was amazing, as 
shown by the beautiful publications that he produced.  Mr. Inoue also described 
his future publication plans to me, and I am deeply saddened that he will not 
be able to complete them.  Regardless, he accomplished quite a lot, and I am 
honored to have had the chance to work with him.
