I'm so sorry for the loss of a husband, a father, and a good friend. I've known Yoshio for the entire 43 years he has been in the US and each time I visited him, he made me laugh. I will carry that laughter with me all my life. My thoughts and prayers go out to Toyoko, Sandra and Stevie.

The kitchen is very busy
Yoshio comes to visit
He will make us laugh
