Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to the Nishio Family. Dr Nishio was a very fine physician whom I will never forget. He was instrumental in performing a CPAP Study on me in May 2000 and, while doing some research on him for a VA Claim that I was getting ready to submit, I noticed that he passed away. May his soul eternally rest in peace

My deepest sympathy on your great loss. May you find comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I just heard the sad news. Tim and I are thinking about you and your family. Stay well and visit.

To the Nishio family,

My deepest sympathies for your loss.

Dear Dr. Denyse Nishio and family,
I send my family's deepest sympathy to all of you during this sorrowful time. Denyse: Although you had your own sadness at home, you continued to give care to my family and others in need. Now it's your time to receive the love and care of others. Thinking of you, Judy Roberson

Dear Nishio Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was certainly a great guy and an inspiration to so many young physicians, including my husband and I in Ann Arbor. I remember fondly tofu and rice cookers and maybe not so fondly, rounds with the chief resident! You are all lucky to have shared his incredible lifetime with him. Denyse, call or visit sometime. Love, Patrice

As a respiratory therapist, I worked with Jim for over 15 years at Sutter General then Methodist Hospital, he was the most kind & caring physician I had the pleasure of knowing. Godspeed Jim, you will never be forgotten.

A courageous man
Surrounded by the love of his courageous family

Brilliant . gentle . Compassionate

The mark he left
A beautiful legacy

He will forever be remembered

I sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
