It was our pleasure to know Mr. Sakamoto as my brother-in-law's dad, or my sister's father-in-law, but we regularly and simply referred him as being an all around "great guy" and an ideal family member.  He would bring life to Thanksgiving gatherings, and spirit to Christmas Holidays.  We will surely miss being around him and sharing his overwhelming joy for family and life.

Ed was a wonderful brother-in-law and husband to my sister Marie and a great father to his kids and grand kids.  I wish we could have spent more time together, but I will cherish the time we had and I will miss his caring and thoughtful advise, Ed you had a special smile and will always have a special face in our hearts.  Memories are a gift to treasure, ours of you will last forever.
