How many Sensei would do something like that for a student, especially a gaijin? I always thought of Saito-sensei as not only my mentor and teacher, but also as my friend which he really was. I cannot express in words how much I miss him.

Seems like a pretty normal act of kindness to me.
Why should it be surprising? Shouldn't that be the norm and not the exception?
