Keiko and Eiji were and always be a cherished part of the Realty Concepts family.  I will never forget the night shortly before Christmas when our doorbell rang and there was Eiji and a quartet of musicians that played Christmas music for our family's enjoyment.  It was such a special moment in our lives.  I cherish the example of humble dignity that Elji and Keiko have shared with so many people.  The RC family deeply loves the Maruko family and sends their deepest condolences.

During my time at Fresno State (1984-1991) it was clearly apparent to my that Eiji was one of the most respected musician/teachers in the San Joaquin Valley and beyond. I mostly knew him through his students and colleagues who all held him in the highest regard. Rest In Peace to the great one!

Am very sorry to hear of Eiji’s passing.  He was a wonderful person.  He was a great influence on me as a fellow clarinetist  when I was in college.  You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Fellow music teacher,
Ann Ewan Coker
