My sympathies to the entire family. May the Lord bless you with his strength and love during this difficult and testing time.

I wish to extend my condolences to Noriko, Tommy, Carol and my Aunt Jenny, and Rachael, on the loss of their brother,husband, and father. He was a special person with a special gift and I am glad he was part of our family thru my aunt Jen and uncle bob. Love Becky

I had many a good night chatting with Restel in our favorite watering hole, but my best memories of him will always be set at the Piccolo Restaurant, where I would take family and my girlfriend, and Restel would come by and play my favorite songs on the violin - Dr. Zhivago and Puccini - serenading us with a twinkle in his eye and with his beautiful playing. He always made me feel special. I'll miss him.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

My sincerest condolences

Restel was the always the life of the party. His generous spirit and lively soul will never be forgotten. We will miss him and hope he is having his very own Bacchanal.

May his memory be a blessing.
Our friendship spans many a year from the days of Pittsburgh Youth Symphony. His smile and fun-loving nature always warmed my heart. Sherry Kloss

Restel was my first violin teacher at CHAW when I was 8 or 9 years old. He was always patient and encouraging, even when I didn't practice (which was often). He loved the violin, and used to make me laugh by playing "the mosquito song". I will always remember his sense of humor and his dedication to the children at CHAW, and I will think of him every time I hear "lightly row".

We had come to know Restel through his sisters... Carol and Jenny and fondly remember all the fun we had at the Beach!

To the family... please know you will be in our thoughts and prayers!
