George Kubota, 1966

Four or five years I just saw you on Password with Carol Burnett and Ross Martin. From what I saw, you must've been a great guy.

Dear Joyce and family, It was great to see you at Seacliff as the sun was setting, and unfortunately I did not know of George's passing..I have known you and George since I was 11 years old and that was 40 years ago! He was always gentle and kind, and quick to laugh...He asked me about my family every time I would go which was not as often as I should! I would have loved to pay my respects and certainly would of been there...much love to all..Debbie Lewis

Dear Joyce, Garrett and family,
I just learned of George's passing today, July 17th. I am so very sorry.
He will be greatly missed. I'm sure he is resting in peace listening to Miles
Davis or one of the other greats he enjoyed so. Love and strength to
You all. Carol Ann and Adrian Sales

Before moving back to California some 20 years ago I remember George making a house call (in Soquel) to help my 86 year old mother with a bothersome tooth. Imagine. A house call. What a guy! The Kubota family and the Daniel family shared a longtime friendship and I was privileged to benefit from this by having George as my dentist. Not that I particularly look forward to dental visits but George made it almost pleasant as we talked about our families. I will remember, fondly, his generous...

I called the Kubota home in the mid 90's to see if Eric was coming to Vegas with the A's. Dr. K answered. We talked for 30 minutes. He asked about me, my brothers and my parents. That is how I will always remember him. Genuine, friendly, funny and truly interested in you and what you are doing. He not only asked about you, but he more importantly listened to your answer. Sad he is gone, sad for his family, and at the same time grateful that I was lucky enough to know him. RIP George.

While I was deputy sheriff patrolling Vienna Woods I always stopped by and had a joke or laugh with Mr. Kubota. Both being old car buffs we'd kick the tires of his old 1960's Pontiac he like so much.

I send my thoughts from our family to his family. I grew up near the Kubota's just down Jennifer drive a bit. Sad to see the original's slipping away.

John Scanlon and family.

He was a wonderful dentist to our family, he will be greatly missed.

Doc was always helping kids. Will always remember him at the baseball diamond. Great guy, great family!

Dear Joyce & Family,
George's passing is a great loss. He was such a good man, great dentist & kind friend to many. We are thinking of you all and will be there to support you in celebrating his life on June 19th. In Sympathy-The Beccaria Family
