Mitsuo "Mitch" Matsuoka

It is 2017 and each time i think back at my work at Cypress i remember Mitch. I learned so much from him about asml tools. He was always ready to explain, alwais there to help. Great human being. I hope his family is doing ok. I want them to know that he is still remembered.

Remembering Mitch today with fondness and a smile. We miss you and think of you daily.

To you all who knew Mitch in Viet Nam, may I say that he always held you in the highest regard w/ the rare stories he would relate to those of us civilians here in California. (Rare is the operational adjective here.)

The Calmest of the Calm; that's how I always thought of Mitch.

Great guy and a such a great loss. Much sorrow from all of us at Micrel who knew him personally.


All the best to his family, and sincere condolences from those who miss him...

my condolences...it is always sad to hear we lost a brother of the 195tf.robert carr gordonville. tx

I remember Mitch in Viet Nam 1970, he was a good friend. We spoke last at SOAR 2005. He will certainly be missed and in my thoughts. My sincerest condolescences to his family

From another member of the 195th. In far away places and long ago we were Soldiers, and Young. With the passing of time so also do we pass. What is important is who we were, how we lived, and what we leave behind.

Mitch met all the markers at the highest level. Rest well Brother!

My sincere condolences to Mitch’s family and friends. I had the privilege of serving with Mitch during the Vietnam War. We were both air crewmembers with the 195th Assault Helicopter Company. He flew slicks and I gunships, we flew many missions together in support of MACV-SOG in Vietnam and Cambodia. Known for his calm demeanor, he had the intestinal fortitude and courage to get the job done. You could always count on Mitch, as someone else here has said, “He was one of the good guys!” I last...

Sincerest condolences to Mitch's Family. I was not privileged to know Mitch personally as he was with the 195th AHC after my tour. Having said that, he was and is my Brother in his obviously far-extended Family. May God bless and keep him, his Family and all of us who honor his life and service.

My deepest condolences to Mitch's family, I served with Mitch in the 195th AHC in 1970. I was fortunate to get to see him, and my wife meet him at the 195th reunion this year. He'll be missed, take care.
