We are full of sadness to hear of Hiro's passing. There is that place where all the good and great from this earth gather and tell stories, share their experiences and continue on forever. We regret that we missed him as he stopped playing golf. We remember Hiro --- that he was always friendly and cheerful.
"A life well-lived, fond memories --- the heart is comforted by these."
With sincere sympathy,
Rich and Vicki Mukai
