He was the best Papa
IN MEMORYOF MY DADDY
If I could write a story
It would be the greatest ever told
Of a kind and loving father
Who had a heart of gold
If I could write a million pages
But still be unable to say,
Just how
Much I love and miss him
Every single day
I will remember all he taught me
I'm hurt but won't be sad
Because he'll send me down the answers
And he'll always be MY DADDY
Haruo, was my father in law. I met him several weeks prior to meeting his daughter Trixie. I was working on a car across the street from his home with my head under the hood when a voice asked me if I would like an orange? He was just that kind of guy, very giving. For the 3 years I lived in Hawaii he always made me feel welcome. We even worked together for a time. And he always showed an interest in whatever I was doing, even if it made no sense to him. Many a visit to Washington State to see his Grandson. Many an outing, just the two of us. I will miss him...Love Dan
Haruo Fukuchi was my grandfather, and though I grew up in Washington, his love and strength could always be felt, even with an ocean between us. Even after years between seeing one another, he always made clear that he never stopped thinking of me. Without a word of insistence from myself or anyone else, he somehow was there to support me through every milestone. From birthdays to graduations to inconsequential holidays, he never missed a thing. He was constantly showing an amount of support and generosity that would have been remarkable for a grandfather who lived two steps away. In failing health, he came over to see me graduate high school without a second's hesitation. No matter what was happening with him, I knew he would put me first to a fault. This was the only flaw in his character; he was so giving that he would run himself raw for you even if you wanted him to relax. Every single conversation I had with him was punctuated with the same closing sentence: "You need anything, anything at all, you call grandpa." This phrase has been drummed into my mind so soundly that there is no doubt I will carry his undying support with me for as long as I live. May he rest in peace.
A cool quote,
My father never told me how to live, he showed me how to live.
