往往人生走到终点让人凭吊时，众人嗟夫叹息之际缤纷绚烂的记忆陡然变成灰色调。当我也试图从对同窗何轶（阿Ken）的记忆中搜寻丝毫沉重的片断来迎合悲痛的心情时，只看到充满幽默的人生感悟，机敏的言语和永无止境的乐观，我禁不住笑了，即使泪水挂满眼角。

2003年9月在MBA新生指南的课间，我和阿Ken站在Bloomberg实时财经信息大屏幕前关于投资还是投机进行了一次有趣的谈话：他说他更喜欢牛奶（指垃圾债券之父Milken）而不是自助餐（Warren Buffett）。他用戏谑的方式表达了他的投资哲学，这是我第一次领教他的幽默感。那年阿Ken27岁。

阿Ken聪慧勤勉。也许是他没用获得的一系列入学奖学金请我吃饭的缘故吧，我对他GMAT700分(TOP95%)并不印象深刻。但他永远是我最愿意选择的group member，在得到任何小组作业的头24小时之内，我只需美美地睡上一觉，因为我知道总会有一份立意新颖逻辑清晰署名何轶的作业置于案头。唯一的不足是如果不加删减地采用他的部分，教授可能会因为篇幅过长扣掉些许分数。

我总认为与阿Ken聊天如同一场超现实对经典主义的批判，因为他的幽默机智总是能将平凡的话题解构成毕加索式的出乎意料和捧腹大笑。他乐于助人，从来不吝于提出中肯的建议。充满热情和乐观精神，他的魅力让他成为朋友中的焦点。即使在2007年他得上这种被称为Still’s Disease 的疾病被迫长期服用激素，原本高大俊朗的外形破坏诒尽时，他总是略带自嘲微笑地说又多吃了三五碗。

站在无菌病房阿Ken的遗体旁，望着阿明压抑自己的悲痛抚摸丈夫渐渐冰凉的手轻轻呼唤着他的爱称，自认为坚强的我不禁悲从中来。这原本是一对青梅竹马20年的神仙眷侣，片刻间阴阳相隔天人永诀。我宁愿相信噩梦醒来，满天繁星下，一个再熟悉不过的男中音向坐在膝头的一对儿女娓娓道来牛郎织女的故事，纤细的身影依偎一侧，远远望去，嶙峋峻峭的洛基山形不禁也柔和起来。

阿Ken，你的笑容永远留在所有朋友的记忆中。

附阿Ken的仆告:

It is with profound sorrow and disbelief that we share the news of the death of He, Yi(Ken). Ken passed away peacefully at Foothills Hospital on November 12 at the age of 33 years. Ken is survived by his wife, Wong, Yuet Ming, his son Anthony, age 3 and his daughter Allison, age 1.
 
Ken was educated at South China University of Technology and obtained his MBA degree at University of Calgary. Ken was passionate about his career as a Project Controls Specialist at Jacobs of Calgary. Ken kept his love and responsibilities to his family and company to the very end. His voice and smile will be sorely missed by everyone around him.
 
Although his life was cut short, it was lived with gentleness, kindness, joy, quiet humour, wit, richness, integrity, and pure love. Ken’s warm-hearted nature and overflowing love for family and friends near and far will be remembered by all those whose lives he touched.
