Grace and my condolences to the Takahashi Family and close friends.
Mas was an excellent ambassador, representing the Nisei veterans of WWII, especially the 100th Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team on the GO FOR BROKE float in this year's Rose Parade. His humbleness, humanity, and generosity were very impressive and appreciated. It was my honor to be on the same

The Takahashi family & the Korematsu family have been friends for well over 60 years and what sad news of Mas's passing. He was a hero in so many ways and how proud we were to see him on The Go For Broke float at this year's Rose Ball parade. We believe Mas is in heaven with Fred & Kathryn and we miss them all. We always remember Mas's smile and his gentle manners and his wonderful stories. RIP a true American hero and most dear family friend.
With love & God Bless,

In Jesus name, I humbly pray for the family Mr. Takahashi has departed from. His absence brings sorrow to so many hearts. May God give each of you comfort and strength, and the knowledge that there is eternal life, and because of it families can be together forever. May you be granted peace until you meet again.
