You took care of us and taught us every single sport, hockey, tennis, skiing, basketball, soccer, football etc. You were a hard working, kind, funny and caring man that went through a lot having been interned up North when you were only 6 years old. We can’t imagine how hard that must have been and that’s why placing you here in Mountainview Cemetery where many Japanese Canadians including your mother, father and the rest of the family also reside makes sense.

May you rest in peace forever, have all the fish and chips and cookies in heaven you want and may we all be reunited one day to enjoy many more meals and stories together in the future.

We know your energy is still here on earth and have experienced you checking in on us every now and then in your low key dad kind of way.

We love you dad! May the heavens bless you. 

Love, Candie, Rod and Nancy
