Deepest Condolences sent to The Teramoto Family,

I was searching today for Olivet´s website and I came across Mr. George Teramoto´s Obituary.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of
Mr. Teramoto. Our family has very fond memories of him... remember riding your family´s Volkswagen Bug when we were children... wonderful gatherings at your family home in Kaneohe (neighbors on the other side of the river)... watching you create beautiful floral arrangements at Olivet... seeing your welcoming and wonderful smile whenever we would see you at Olivet Baptist Church! Fond memories of you will remain with us... forever in our hearts. May you find love and comfort in God´s home now and forever!

Deepest condolences to the Teramoto Family,

We are so very sorry for your loss. Unfortunately we did not know about the passing of Mr. Teramoto due to us living in another country, Japan.

We have been family friends for years! Remembering cramming all of us in your Volkswagen Bug when we were children. Loved our family gatherings when you lived in Kaneohe! Whenever I would go to Olivet (visiting while living on the mainland and in Tokyo), Mr. Teramoto always greeted me with such a welcoming smile and hug! We will definitely miss seeing him at Olivet, but fond memories will remain with us... forever!
