Roy Y. Ikeda

I met Roy thru Aurora Escame. I wish I had
known him better. I do know he was a real gentleman, an optimist, and a gentle, sympathetic soul with a quiet sense of humor. He will be, and is being, missed.

You were always my best friend. Your memory lives on in my heart.

Sincere condolences to Jana, Neil and Gayle and families. I was priviledge to know both your parents as their clinical nurse for many years and it was always a delight to see them at their appointments. My husband, Fred, was your dad's barber at Smitty's in Ballard and enjoyed his visits to the shop. It is a difficult stage bidding our parents the earthly goodbye but recalling the times spent together does help heal the grieving process. Thinking of you with prayers for guidance thru this...

So sorry to hear of the loss of Roy. He was a great friend to my mom, Gert Eva, over the years and she so enjoyed getting together with him for lunch these past few years. I also fondly remember Roy from my days at Garfield High School - class of 1980. My condolences to the family and RIP to Roy!

A Thank You to the family of Roy Ikeda

Sometimes you do...

From one of your old buddies at Cleveland High School. I would have been honored to attend a service in your memory. I felt very close to you, especially during the stage crew days we shared with Phil Leach and Fred Kuhblank. You will be missed by me, and by all the young people you served in public education.

Roy was a gentleman, a friend to all who knew him, and a great teacher. I first met Roy at Ballard High School when he was a gym teacher and I was a student (Class of 1965). When I first began working as a teacher myself, and we met at another high school, he remembered me and mentored me. I really appreciated him taking an interest and the time. Roy was one of the few really likeable teachers who when you were around him you felt his warmth, you felt his friendship. I will always remember...
