He also enjoyed coffee with friends and playing pool and cards at the Norbridge Seniors Centre.

My condolences to Marjory and all of the family! Kaz and I had great conversations at the dealership whether it be about a new vehicle for his wife, sharing golf memories, or memories of ball players he used to coach from my hometown of Pincher Creek! Every story brought a smile and a laugh! God speed my friend!
Our sincerest sympathies on Kaz's passing. Throughout the years growing up at the 2 Avenue B North house, Bob has many memories of Kaz coming and going next door to the Yamagishi house. Then all those Hurricane's games, chatting in lines at the 50/50 draw table and we both remember hearing Kaz's name come up as the winner at least once or twice. We'll be among many people missing his cheerful greeting on the concourse at the Enmax.
I am so sorry for your loss Marj.
People like Kaz are truly rare. His care for his family was admirable.
We are very sad to hear of the passing of Kaz. May he rest in peace.
my thoughts are with you at this sad time. take heart that the pain will fade but the love and memories will remain.
Sorry sorry to hear of your loss Marj. Kaz will always have a special spot with our family. Big Hugs from all of us!!
