Akira Kizushi, age 71, of Wayne died peacefully at home on Monday, February 2, 2009.
He was raised in Kagoshima, Japan and moved to this country in 1963 and settled in New York City. He then lived in Clifton before moving to Wayne thirty-five years ago.
He met his wife Hiroko while working at the Sanyo/Seiko Corporation in Japan. When Hiroko heard Akira was being transferred to the United States they married so she could be with him. They married in Japan on November 7, 1963. They enjoyed a thirty-nine year marriage until Hiroko's passing in 2002.
Before retiring in 2002 Akira worked over twenty years for the Casio Corporation in their Fairfield and Dover facilities.
In his retirement, he enjoyed deep sea fishing and the friendship of his buddies at Portobello's Restaurant in Oakland. He loved and pampered his dog Jackie and cat Erika to a fault. One of his favorite pasttimes was watching the New York Yankees on TV and swearing in his native tongue, complaining that some players are overpaid.
Akira was the beloved husband of the late Hiroko (Nakata) Kizushi(2002); loving father of Naruko Bews and her husband Douglas of Littleton, NH, Akiko Wilson and her husband James of Atlanta, GA and Victor Kizushi and his wife Chieh of Rego Park, NY; cherished grandfather of Samantha and Julia Bews; devoted brother of Hideomi, Miyoko and Hiroshi, all of Japan.
