Charlie Tagawa

Loved his banjo music and engaging presence. A born entertainer. Will miss him.

Charlie you were so wonderful always full of joy and always buying ice cream cones to the kids I am so shocked I just found out and sadness overwhelmed me.

Charlie my friend I will truly miss you! Your friendship was so important to me. We had some good times together doing some of those funny gigs. I learned so much from you such valuable life lessons. Rest In Peace my friend. Leon and nori you have my deepest sympathies. Due to ill health I can't make the memorial but Charlie will be in my prayers. Judy james

We will always have fond memories of Charlie and the joy he brought to so many people through his music. We attended many of the sessions at Meridian location, my dad loved his music and was one of his biggest fans. Charlie and the band played at his 94th birthday, it was a fantastic celebration. Charlie had an amazing life, it was an honor to have known him. Our deepest condolences to his family and to the Peninsula Banjo Band.

We will miss you Charlie-san! We really enjoyed hearing your funny stories from your trips and eating your sweet beans.

Love,
Makoto and Donna
