It is with profound sadness I hear from Mr Kul Gautam that Steve Umemoto passed away on 2 March after a long hospitalization. He served in India as Dy Director Programs in 90s during Haxton's period. He was a great admirer of UPGI and regularly attended Retirees retreat since 2012 till Hyderabad reunion in 2019. Last I contacted him for his article for the Compendium of UNICEF@75 years.
He is survived by his wife Diane and two daughters.
Anyone wishing to send condolence to the following e mail:

Thanks & Regards
S. Ramadass
Secretary UPGI
Rip Steve. You were a true Unicef trouper
