A celebration of his life will be held on June 3, 2017, from 2 to 4 pm at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 1007 West South Jordan Pkwy. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the American Heart Association in memory of Bob's life.
Bob was actively involved in many special projects that were mostly centered around his love of sports and his children. Bob was instrumental along with some of his friends in establishing the West Jordan Little League Baseball program, the Bingham Youth Conference little league football program and the Bingham High Boosters association. When he wasn't farming, he was helping to build and maintain the baseball field at the new high school in South Jordan. He loved to follow the Utah Jazz, the Utah UTES, Bingham High Sports, but most of all he loved his YANKEES. Bob also spent a few years after retiring from farming to be the greens keeper at Mountain View GC in West Jordan.
Bob did not like to talk about his childhood and always switched the conversation to something about his children, the farm or of others he respected. He shared only a few memories of growing up, losing both his parents at an early age, and trying to understand the community after WWII as a Japanese-American citizen.
Bob was very devoted to his family, farming consumed most of his time, but he always found time to care for Mom and Grandma Imai in his busy schedule. This past year when Mom was having health issues, Dad cooked, cleaned and made sure everything was just right for Mom. Others in the community described Bob as a "kind man", always willing to help where he could, providing tools or equipment, giving advice or tips on gardening or fresh garden vegetables. He was always interested in his grandchildren, and even though he did not make it to every game, program, competition, or recital, he was so proud of each grandchild and always wanted to know how they did.
Bob had many hobbies besides gardening, he was an avid golfer, loved to gamble in Wendover, loved to fish in his earlier years, and up until his death, he loved to bowl. He looked forward to bowling with his friends.
As a family we would like to thank Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary for taking care of all the arrangements for Dad's services. We appreciate the kindness and consideration given to our family.
