As Jim Matsuoka observed.

yet we treated each other with mutual respect.I was a lot of trouble to keep as a friend … I couldnt drive (Mike tried to teach me but I wrecked his friends car and a parked car).

Mike was also a brilliant strategic thinker without a traditional strategic plan.He would come into the office and push all of us to be the best we can be.leaving an enduring legacy of transformation.

he taught me a few ‘A word lessons such as ask.Another favorite joke he loved was that I was very familiar with the TC before it became the TC.

He bought me and my family little souvenirsfrom Hawaii and New York.

It was a little awkward for Mike to wear the SU T-shirt.had to work as a janitor when the war ended and the family relocated to Hunters Point in San Francisco.

He was predeceased by brother Masaru Mochida and sisters Miyuki Hirano and Satsuki Ward.The elder Mochida operated a nursery and five greenhouses on a two-acre site in Eden Township.

I track all the sensitive security information.I wasnt worried about the money.
