AOKI, Shigeru Aoki - passed away peacefully, at home on Thursday, August 1st, just one week short of his 60th wedding anniversary and a few weeks before his 91st birthday.
Predeceased by his parents, Kyuichi and Masano; and brothers, Nobuo, Takashi and Hideo.
Loving father to Kristine & David and husband to Geraldine. Born in Mission, BC, his family was interned during the Second World War and later moved east to Chatham, ON, where they owned and operated a vegetable farm.
Shig moved to Toronto on his own and was in his 20s the first time he saw a TV in real life.
He went on to study at DeVry, and eventually became the proud owner of his own electronics repair shop; Shig's TV Sales & Service. After retiring, he enjoyed golfing, bowling and playing slots at the casino.
He will be lovingly remembered for being very kind, generous, hardworking and humble.
A private celebration of life will be held where the family will gather in his honour.
