Obituary for Harry Haruo Oka
Harry Haruo Oka
(January 18, 1922-October 18, 2011)
Harry “Gramps” Oka joined his beloved wife, Fuki, on October 18, 2011. Fuki passed away peacefully on February 18, 2011 after 64 memorable years of marriage. They’re happily together again going to Las Vegas, playing poker, fishing, bowling, and rooting for the Dodgers and Lakers. His wit, quiet strength, generosity, thoughtfulness, and birthday cards will be greatly missed. Harry is preceded in death by his son, Tom Oka and son-in-law, Paul Uyeda; survived by his daughter, Peggy Uyeda; grandchildren; and other relatives here, in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, New Hampshire, and Vermont. His Celebration of Life will be on his 90th birthday.

Rae Luce October 28, 2011, 12:25 PM | Not until today did I know that The Uyedas and the Okas were related. I have kept track of Mr, and Mrs. Oka through my good friend Bob Campbell, and more loosely through an old H.S. acquaintance, Hugh Moran. Tommy was a buddy of mine when I was in high school and for a few years after. Little did I know that he was related to my former students from the Uyeda family. My sincerest thoughts go out to all of you. What a fascinating web of friends and family I now find I am more a part of than I thought. Love to all, Rae Moore Luce |
