Mitsuhiro Matsumoto

MATSUMOTO, Mitsuhiro, 73, of Montvale, NJ, passed away surrounded by his family on Friday, December 4th, 2020. Mitsuhiro is survived by his dear wife Kyoko, his children Akiko and Takeshi, his grandchildren, Akira and Alex, and his two nephews. Mitsuhiro was born in 1947 in Tokyo, Japan to Tetsuji and Yoshiko (Hashida) Matsumoto. He is predeceased by his father, Tetsuji, his mother, Yoshiko, and his sister, Iuko Ishida.

Mitsuhiro attended Chuo University in Tokyo and the University of Southern California. After his studies, he began working for the Morito Company in Osaka and Tokyo. In 1983, he moved to the U.S. to help establish Kane-M, a subsidiary of Morito. After over 20 years with the company, he parted ways with them when he was asked to relocate back to Japan so that he and his family could continue to live in the U.S. Mitsuhiro began working for Tocad America and worked there over 25 years. Dedicated to his work, he never chose to retire and continued to work all throughout his life.

Mitsuhiro was an avid golfer and kept himself in shape by running, swimming, and practicing yoga. He ran the New York City Marathon and never missed a day at the gym. Mitsuhiro grew up listening to American pop/rock music from the 60s and 70s and expanded his interest into jazz. Mitsuhiro cared deeply for his family and took great pride in his work. He will be remembered for his dedication, work ethic, warm smiles and deep laughter. He was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather and his loss is felt deeply by his family, friends, and colleagues. We will cherish the memories and he will always be remembered in our hearts.

The family will receive guests at Becker Funeral Home, 219 Kinderkamack Rd., Westwood, NJ on Wednesday, December 9th from 4-8PM with private cremation to follow. Memorial contributions can be made in Mitsuhiro’s name to the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Englewood
