We truly have lost a wonderful scholar, a humble unassuming individual. To me Kwok has been a friend, a partner, and mentor. We were just starting conversations on major Special Issues for MOR. As many of you may know Kwok built the cross cultural domain of JIBS, he helped me think through a future for MOR that we have been purposely following. He himself has led by example, as a deep thinking scholar always giving of self to build community. I will miss his sunny disposition, easy going manner, and sage advice. Rest in peace.

With best wishes always,
