Dr. Patrick Fumio HAGIHARA

I had the joy of knowing and working with Patrick. He was truly one of a kind. He knew more jokes than anyone I ever knew. Never heard the same one twice. He lived his life with gusto and honor. He loved life, and I am so glad that I knew him. His legacy will never die <3<3<3

I am more than saddended on learning of the passing of Dr. Hagihara. Since 1985, his surgical skills & pro-active outlook has saved me more than once, and his wit and tremendous compassion endeared him to me over the years. I feel I have lost a friend, as well as a valuable surgeon; and the world has indeed lost a very special human being. He will always have a special place in my heart. My prayers and thoughts go to his family in their loss.

I was so sad yesterday to hear of Dr. Hagihara passing away...He was so special to me and my family...more than our surgeon ...a true friend. I loved his sense of humor,jokes and cowboy boots...We will truly miss him.

Dr Hagihara was an inspiration. I am truly blessed to have met such a wonderful,honorable man. I hope to be half the person he was.

We send our condolences and prayers.

Evelyn You are in my thoughts and prayers. Such a fine man was Dr. Hagi.

Evelyn, I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I didn't know until a friend told me it was in the paper or I would have came to visitation. It's been a long time since i've seen either one of you but have always kept you both close in my mind and heart. I lost my husband two years ago and I know how deeply saddened you must be. May God be by your side in the days ahead. Praying for you and the family during this sad time. God bless.
