Tom Ezaki Obituary

Tom Takeshi Ezaki
Jan. 25, 1921 - Aug. 31, 2018
Resident of San Jose
Tom passed away peacefully after a brief illness in Cupertino, CA. He was the fifth of six children of Heikichi and Yukino Ezaki. Tom was born in San Jose on the Nelson Ranch and spent most of his formative years in the Alviso area. Tom met his wife, Nobuko, while briefly living in Nevada, before returning to California after being interned during World War II. They settled in the Alviso area and raised their family on what eventually became their pear orchard.
Tom is preceded in death by his wife, Nobuko, and infant son, Michael Lee. He is survived by his children, Tom Jr., Sharon (Tom) Fujii, Melvin (Deborah), grandchildren Stefanie (Thomas) Blomquist, Randon (Holly) Fujii, Trevor and Devin, and great-grandsons Nolan, Cole, and Grant Blomquist.
A private family service was held at San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin. He is interred at Oak Hill Memorial Park, San Jose. Arrangements by Willow Glen Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations be made to Yu-Ai-Kai at 588 North Fourth St. San Jose, CA 95112.
