Hotta Family-
Good memories of my cousin Mike Hotta--- mmm.. lemme see here...
Mike and his chemistry set, breaking bottles and test tubes and having Tosh yell at him (priceless)...
Denise hitting Mike with the tennis racket @ Palm Springs (the good ol days)...
His love for all sports, especially if the UCLA Bruins are playing...
Sleeping over at the Hotta's and watching the Creature From The Black Lagoon on the old school movie projector...
Christmas and Mike hooking all of us up with Nori and Furikake...
Flinstone vitamins from Tosh when we slept over; Mike would eat mines if I didnt like the flavor !
Life is strange and we have all been through some trying times- stay strong all...
with love-
Gerald

Tosh, Uncle George, John, Tyus, and Brendy my thoughts and prayers go out to you with the passing of Michael. It is with a heavy heart that I write this, but can also smile at the great times that we had together. Movie night at your house as the feature was "Benji" and Mike and John sold snacks. Art classes at your house, I still don't know what shade is "korubata bru" is (as our teacher used to say.) Spinning on that one tire at Pasadena Buddhist after eating sukiyaki dinners.
Mike, I will miss you always!!
