A wonderful guy & incredible urologist. Legendary @TeamUrology resident & faculty before heading west to a stellar career & family. Kingston, Calgary & Canadian urology are hurting but fondly remembering today. You rule JK 🙏🤘

Dr. Jun Kawakami May 24, 1973 - August 30, 2021 We are truly saddened to learn that our community has lost one of its finest urologists. He will be missed. Our condolences to the Kawakami family.
