So very sad to hear of Yoshio passing, both Mark and I considered him one of our best friends, he was such a good person. Mark and Yoshio were part of the Wednesday afternoon volunteers at the Museum of flight, now they are both gone. You will be in my thoughts and I will share your grief. Love Pat Foote

I regret missing the services today.  Yosh was an old friend and a valuable member of our research team during the days at Boeing. He was always there to help solve our challenging problems and never complained when the hours were long and the work hard.  I will miss exchanging nonsense on the internet.

A friend and acquaintance to so many. His life was an example for us all. Rest well my friend. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Yosh since 1997 when he was a docent at The Museum of Flight.   He was always gracious and provided excellent customer service to our visitors since 1989!  The Wednesday afternoon docents will miss Yosh and all of the emails he would send out!  Throughout the years Yosh made many friends within the company and they all enjoyed his sense of humor.  Thank you to his family for sharing Yosh with us. Sincerely, Carol Thomson, Volunteer Coordinator

I have worked with Yoshio for 7 years at Sea-Tac Airport as volunteer. Every Monday, we always looking for each other and having good shot visit and before we starting to work. We became very good friend~ He is a coin collector, I always brought back different countries coins for him and that made him very HAPPY! Yoshi San, I will miss you.   Henry Wang

I worked with Yosh at Boeing at Plant 2. He was a supervisor for Shop A-3160 and I worked in the office of his manager Bill Hoxie.  Yosh was a wonderful co-worker and always had a smile.  He once told me a story about his son having lost or taken from him a pocket knife and how his son was so worried that whoever took it might hurt somebody with it.  He was proud of his son for that. He was also the first person to tell me he was going on a sea food diet, "when I see food I eat it."  My condolences to his family, I know how much you must loved him.

Dear family, I'm a long time friend of Leslie.  Her kindness and generosity she learned from her father is a glowing tribute to Yosh.  He will be missed.
Sincerely, Fawn & Dave Harmon
