Linda Rummler July 22, 2010, 7:22 PM	Dear Family of Tokuji, I sat behind Tokuji in many of the high school classes we had together. We had a lot of fun kidding around. I have often thought of him throughout the years and wondered what he was doing and how he was. I will remember him fondly and my condolences to you on his passing. May he rest in peace.

I went to school with him from Hermosa View, Pier Ave Junior High School, and Mira Costa High School. He was always calm, funny and smart. His leadership and intellect was always on an unspoken level which I’ll remember always. His wit and humor got him to be class president in high school with just a wonderful speech which makes me smile today over 44 years later. As his younger brother related at the services today, I’m sure he has a smile on his face as he looks over us. Blair Ota

Each email has related how special Tokuji was and what fond memories we have of him. I only knew him in high school but his presence has stayed with me all of these years. He truly made a difference in all of our lives. I hope you all know you are in our thoughts. Tina Schmierer Peterson

I never knew his family but I can imagine that they were all wonderful people, too, and must feel a great loss without him in our world. I am certainly saddened to hear he has passed.
