My parents, the Takematsu Inouyes of Isleton, Calif were friends of the Nonakas during the prewar and camp days.I remember Suyeko as having a beautiful porcelain complexion unlike a farmwife's weatherbeaten one. My deepest sympathies for your loss of Henry. Sincerely, Miyoko Inouye Takushi.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm not sure if you remember me but I taught and ran the playskool program for the Village of Orland Park. I have had so much respect for the Nonaka family through out the years and I will keep you in my prayers.

It was wonderful of you to let us work on the origami tsuru while we were at Tule Lake. Both Mas and I were happy to do something to show respect to Henry. With our sincere condolences. Mas and Shirley Shimada

Dear Gail & Family, Ever since Henry arrived at CP I enjoyed knowing him. From the days playing basketball, the bowling and golf leagues, he was a good athlete as well as a scholar and had a great contagious laugh. We are not able to attend the services for Henry since we are visiting in Texas. So please accept our heartfelt condolences from afar.
