That is truly unfortunate. I hope that more pictures and videos of Abe Sensei show up to further delve into finding more about him. Perhaps at the 2011 O-Sensei Memorial I will have a chance to speak to some of the senior shihan about Abe sensei.

We early students of British Aikido only had the occasional opportunity to study with Tadashi Abe Sensei. You may be able to learn much more by contacting Mr Jack Poole of Shinwakai Aikido UK who claims to have studied directly with Tadashi Abe in France in the early 1950s.
From Mr Poole's biography.

Fortunately, Aikido had been introduced to France in 1952 by Tadashi Abe sensei , who was the official Aiki-Kai Honbu representative , and during leave and work placements in France Sensei Poole began training under him. [Unquote]
