Sending my condolences
Our deepest sympathies to the Tokuda family and friends.
To the Tokuda family. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you at this difficult time. Wishing you the best and know you have our full support in every moment. Ken, what else can I say, other than I'm going to miss you man. We had a lot of fun in our younger years golfing, playing cards, family gatherings etc. and I'll cherish everyone of those memories, but most of all I'm going to miss that boisterous laugh of yours and kind demeanour. Life dealt you an unfortunate hand later on in your life, but like a trooper you held steadfast with drive and determination to only get better. But regretfully those goals have come to pass. The only blessing now is your no longer suffering anymore. Till we meet again. Godspeed my friend.
