Reiko and Family,
I have so many fond memories of John. It was a pleasure to have known him these many years. Thank you for my time with your family as a friend. He will be truly missed. I'm certain he will be playing golf with Roy in God's green heaven. I will hold you and your family in my prayers.Keep safe and healthy.

Dear Reiko & family,
Johnny was such a dear friend having started 1st grade together at Adna and also graduating together. Having only 14 in our class we became more like family and and seemed to stay that way, especially in our (golden) years when we would gather for our yearly picnic. I am so glad we got to meet and know you. I feel very blessed to have had such wonderful friends as the Sato family. Peace be with you all. Mary Lou

Dear Reiko & Family; My condolences.My name is Pat Millman Sexton, a former Centralia College '51-'53 classmate of dear Johnny's! We had the best CJC class ever! Good people, fantastic memories. My home town was Winlock. Johnny & I were not close in association after CJC graduation but other classmates shared with me about Johnny, always a joy to hear about him! I married a CJC graduate of '51-'53, started a Pizza/Pasta restaurant in'63 which is still going strong, owned by our son Randy. Gordy passed 11-29-14. We also played a lot of golf but in Imperial Valley, CA. Do you play? Drop by our restaurant,"Gordy's" if you are ever in Port Angeles. Love in Christ, Pat Sexton cell:360-460-4177

Dear Mrs. Sato, Ray, JJ, Caroline,
It has been a joy and honor to know Mr. Sato. He is always kind and gracious whenever we saw him. What an amazing full life he has led, leaving a trail of friendships and prosperity along his journey.
We wish we could be there to celebrate him with you on January 14 but Johnny going on a mission trip to Haiti and I will be in Palm Springs for Ella's tournament. Mr. Sato would find humor in the irony I can't be there since I'm in Palm Springs so I will celebrate him there :)
Love,
Mary & Johnny Kim

Fond memories of playing with Johnny at Centralia JC. He was a great teammate and a good friend. He was a fellow schoolbus driver and we were both strawberry farmers. Condolences to the family.

Our condolences to the Sato family and particularly to Reiko whom we have come to know and love. Thinking of John brings back so many fond memories of golf at The Reserve, Morningside and other desert courses and the many interesting conversations (debates?) over dinner. A real gentleman with a keen wit and mischievous laugh. He will be greatly missed.
