The Words of the Hisano Family |
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Our beloved elder brother, Mr. Takayoshi Hisano, passed into the spirit world on October 11.
Please keep him and his family in your prayers. His Seunghwa Ceremony will be held today.
Please read the announcement from Rev. Jim Edgerly contained below. Once again, we thank
God for our brother's life and pray for his transition now into his eternal life.
Rev. Joshua Cotter.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Early yesterday morning, our brother Takayoshi Hisano passed into the spiritual world. Our community is now proud to join together with his precious family to celebrate his time with us and support his peaceful and victorious ascension to his new life with our Heavenly Father.
Hisanosan was diagnosed with mesothelioma in August of last year. Hisanosan and his wife Kinue moved from Salt Lake City to Worcester just one month ago. Knowing that their remaining time together was coming to an end, they relocated to Worcester so that their family could be together as three generations. Hisanosan was particular eager to be together with his beautiful grandson, Emory Okano and newly born granddaughter, Amara Okano.
The Hisano's family in Worcester is comprised of their eldest child, Tarumi and her husband Masao Okano; their two year old son Emory and new born daughter Amara, plus their son Yokshikimi. Their middle child is Yoshika who lives in Utah.
Takayoshi Hisano was born April 20th, 1948 in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. He is an 1800 couple. He joined the church in 1969 and has always been a leader in whatever activities he participated in (witnessing, fundraising, business, VOC). He came to America in 1979 as a business pioneer for Happy World, Inc. and then helped to build the foundation for Golden Gate Seafood (now part of True World Foods). Most recently, he pioneered a very successful church restaurant business in Utah in 1986 which he passed on and started his own business in a new location in 1997.
The Seung Hwa Ceremony for our brother Takayoshi Hisano will be held on Saturday, October 16th at 10AM at the O'Connor Brothers Funeral Home at 592 Park Avenue in Worcester, MA. All flowers should be sent to that address to arrive on Friday before 5:00 PM or on Saturday before 8:30 AM.
During this time of preparation for the Seunghwa Ceremony, all members are welcome to visit the Hisano and Okano families and pay their respects at the altar at any time. A phone call to give advance notice of visitation would be kindly appreciated. Please call: (508)425-9881. The alter is located at Masao and Terumi Okano's residence at:
