Oil for the Sunday (L.A.) Times

R.I.P. to my father-in-law:

Noritsugu (Nochio) Uyeno, 3/15/26 - 11/5/11, born in Long Beach CA, grew up in Compton, riding horses and hunting abalone on the beaches of Palos Verdes. Relocated at age 15 to the Japanese-American internment camps of WWII, then drafted by the Navy at age 18, shortly after marrying Shizue Kumai. After the war, graduated from CSULA, made his home in Los Angeles near Bellevue Park, and taught elementary education for LAUSD until retirement. Father of Gerald Uyeno and Nancy Kamei; grandfather of Thomas Kamei; will be dearly missed by many friends, most especially Betty Lim.
