Dear Mike, Ken, Kim, and family. I just learned of your dad's passing and I am so very sorry. I know all of you have treasured memories of such a wonderful man. Myself and my family extend our very heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with the WHOLE Ishida family! I have known Kim for over 10 yrs and she has spoke nothing of GREAT things about her father! My heart and soul is with the entire family during this difficult time! xoxo Amy

Dear Char, I was so sad to learn that Bud had passed away. I have such fond memories of you two - visiting and hanging out at your showroom - my favorite place in the gift center! I'll miss him.

Char and family-so sorry about Bud's passing. He was a very special person.

hey char,
when i first took over the Dakin line of plush animals in 1983 in suite #200 at the 6100 Building, Bud was the first person to offer his friendship. every time i saw him he would say " hey easy money, how are you doing" great man with the great smile and presence. my condolences to you and your family.

Dear Charlene:
We are so sorry for you and your families loss. Bud was a giant of a man in many ways. We always looked forward to seeing both Bud and you at the club 35 meetings and the many shows and sales meetings that we attended. We feel so fortunate to have shared just a small part of his life.

Char, Mike, Ken, Dennis and Kim;

I will miss Bud very much. No matter how much time had passed, whenever I saw him, I would always get a big smile, a bear hug and "How ya doing kiddo?" I have very special and fond memories of him over the years that I will always cherish.

I can't even begin to tell you, how much he loved you guys. His eyes would always light up when I asked about each one of you. Bud was a very special person and I see traits of him in all of you. ...

Kim's dad Bud, the biggest most beautiful Japanese man I ever met, no one will ever take your place. I am glad for the small chance I had to know you and will as always love to hear precious memories of your life. I have been and will keep you all in my prayers,
