Dr. Tadashi Kikuchi's Obituary
Dr. Tadashi Kikuchi
A loving husband, a perfect dad, a wonderful grandpa, and best friend to all that knew him. Tadashi, known by all as "Tad", passed away peacefully on June 1st, 2016. Meeting his wife, Barbara Ann King Kikuchi, while pursuing his PHD in Physics, he begun his long, beautiful path that would touch everyone he knew. His career in Particle Physics Research would take him many places, but ultimately land him in Pittsburgh PA, working for Carnegie-Mellon University for most of his full career. He will be dearly missed by his sons, Lee Warren Kikuchi and Paul Naoki Kikuchi; Paul's wife and the "daughter he never had", Lorraine Ann Kikuchi; his pride and joy, grandson Brandon Michael Kikuchi, and all his dear friends and loved ones. How much he has touched everyone he has known cannot be understated. Tadashi and Barbara are finally together again. We love and miss you both.
