Uncle Walter Watanabe (12/18/1923 – 1/21/2009)

Today I attended the funeral for my uncle Walter Watanabe.  My last words to my uncle was when he was at the hospital.  He served in the U.S. Army soon after World War II started, worked for the City & County of Honolulu, enjoyed golf, and raised two children with my aunty (my late grandma Sakai’s younger sister).  He was very kind and a great role model.  I will miss him.
