With the passing of Dr. Ted Hayashida, we lost a wonderful doctor and a cherished friend.

He was my doctor for over 35 years. He kept me physically healthy with his kindness and gifted medical knowledge. As a physician, he was continually searching for new technology and researching innovative methods of treating patients. He was also like an old time country doctor and made house calls when he felt he could help. I know this from personal experience.

Dr. Hayashida also had a great love for the arts, especially western art. He produced and sponsored countless art exhbits all over the western United States. He is responsible for many artists to become well known and able to make a living selling their art.

The good doctor's legacy will not only be his wonderful family but what he has done for countless patients and the gift that he left the artists. To me personally, he will most be missed as a good friend.

May God be with you, Ted.

My deepest condolences to the Hayashida Family.
I worked with Dr. Hayashida at Gardena Community Hospital back in the 70"s and 80"s.
My Son also got to know him well from minor bike racing accidents that required sewing. The moment I remember the most is one evening I was doing a Pre-op EKG on a patient in bed A , yet by the time I left the room I knew everything about the patient in bed B. He has watching me and when I left the room Dr. Ted came over to me and told me I was a reciever , I had no Idea what he meant- this lead to many conversations that lead me to always listen, He told me I had a gift. I have always tried to live up to his many words of wisdom and advice. I am still working in patient care in a hospital and love what I do. Not to long ago I asked Dr. Uriu about Dr Hayashida and was saddened to hear of his illness He was an OUTSTANDING DOCTOR OF MEDICINE AND TREATED THE PATIENT, THE PERSON AND THE ILLNESS.
GOD BLESS YOU

My deepest condolences to the Hayashida Family. I knew "Ted" and have always referred to him as "Doctor", knowing him while growing up as my Dad's doctor and he was also my doctor as a teenager. Doctor treated me for my very painful migraines which started when I was in high school. Doctor referred me out to neurologists, who in turn performed all kinds of tests. One neurologist dismissed me as a patient saying that I was "just an uptight teenager". They knew little about migraines in those days. Doctor knew I was in debilatating pain and treated me with pain medicine and acupuncture. He also directed me to obtain books and read about headaches and migraines, which I did and knowledge and understanding about migraines helped me tremendously. To this day, I do occasionally have a migraine but have been able to adjust my lifestyle to help prevent "triggers". I share this memory because I attribute Doctor and his care, concern, compassion and understanding that I wasn't just an "uptight teenager". He believed I was suffering and he treated me for that. I owe him a debt of gratitude for this and I just thought the Hayashida family should know this. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Sincerely, Debi "Gikiu" Araujo
