Not sure what to say?

To Aunty Joan & cousins,
It was always such a delight to see you guys in Hawaii, way back when we (children) were really just children. :)Lots of precious memories to hang on to. Uncle was always a very attentive Uncle. He took time to catch up with us on our lives whenever he came to visit. He listened with a genuine and encouraging heart. The most I always remember of him (as so many others have mentioned in this guestbook) was his wonderful smile! It was so contagious, always made...

We are so sorry to hear about James passing. Our deepest sympathy. We remember James back in school days and at the lime house restuarant Hawaiian parties. James never had a negative words to say, always positive and warm. Much Aloha.
Sharon and Tom Furuta

Beautiful Joan, my thoughts and prayers are with you especially today. I can still hear him talking pidgin and laughing.

Goodbye Mr. Yuen. It was nice knowing you and learning the hula. I am glad I got to know you and your family and I hope you bring a lot of your Hawiian spirit to share with Jesus.

Our deepest Aloha to Aunty Joan for the lost but wonderful life of Uncle Jimmy. He always brought a smile on my face and on my children's face. He is symbolic with HAPPINESS and we will greatly miss him.

From our ohana to yours Aunty Joan we love you...........

Joan,
Jimmy (Kimo) was a fun guy who always cheered me up at the gym. I remember when I realized just how much he loved to gamble--I asked him about a recent trip to New Zealand and Australia--he said he enjoyed the casinos there! I couldn't believe he traveled all that way to such gorgeous places to spend time indoors gambling!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Aloha, Kimo.
Love, Kate Kohlbeck

Stew, Our deepest sympathy to you and your family at this time. May the Lord bring you comfort and peace.

I only met Jim twice, once at a YMCA swim meet and another time after a day of fishing on Sturgeon Bay. On both of these occasions he was enjoying his grandchildren and he had the biggest smile on his face. I could tell that he was a man that truly loved and appreciated “family”. My prayers are with the Yuen's during this difficult time. May God bless you all.
