Shoki Haraguchi

Hey Shoki:

When someone described you as "exceptional," I thought they really had that right. You just had this glow about you--a genuine smile that radiated, and an outgoing positive spirit that dissolved barriers. In a world where we often question whether something is real.... You were real. You made a difference in this world, and I was fortunate to have known you as a friend and fellow flight instructor. I hope that Linda and the rest of your family and friends may find comfort...

Shoki-san, you were a wonderful, kind, and friendly person who will be missed greatly. I'm sorry that I didn't get to talk to you and your wife more when I lived in San Jose. My dearest sympathy and prayers to Linda.

Shoki,
God Bless your soul and I pray for your family.

Shoki, you were always smiling and very cheerful. God bless you. Our hearts go out to you and Linda. You were a good friend, excellent pilot, and great sushi chef!

Shoki, you were such a happy person. Your smile was so bright, it made an impression on our hearts. You were someone we never got to spend enough time with, but the time we did get was precious. We miss you. Our heart goes out to Linda during this hard time.

Shoki,Respect as always.i will miss you.

My New Friend,
Now you soar above the clouds were eagles dare to go.
I regret that we didn't get to sail together.

Shoki,

I'll always remember you walking by my desk in the flight instructor office area, almost always smiling, positive and upbeat. While I only knew you in the day-to-day as a fellow flight instructor - I was always impressed by what I saw; a friendly and warm, positive outlook and a professionalism in the way you always did your job.

You will always be remembered, long after your passing, while your spirit continues to fly amongst the stars. Fly high.

shoki was and is my friend, we shared many interests and had great respect for each other. keep flying, keep driving, keep boating, keep dreaming...
