In Loving Memory of Takashi Iinuma
Takashi Iinuma, born on June 30, 1925, to Toshio and Chiyoko (Tanikawa) Iinuma, passed away peacefully on August 12, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and service.
Takashi grew up in Hawaii, where he graduated from Waialua Intermediate and High School in 1943. Following his graduation, he served his country with honor in the U.S. Army, Military Intelligence Service, from 1946 to 1948. After completing his military service, he pursued higher education and graduated from the University of Hawaii in June 1953.
It was at the University of Hawaii where Takashi met the love of his life, Setsue Hashimoto. They married on June 12, 1954, and together built a life filled with love and family. In 1956, they moved from Hawaii to California, where they welcomed two sons, Brian, born in 1957, and Alan born in 1962.
Takashi had a distinguished career as a Trust Administrator, working for both Bank of America and City National Bank in California. In addition, he owned and operated The Spokesman bicycle shop in Lawndale, California, from 1977 to 1978.
In 1990, Takashi retired and enjoyed his golden years with his wife,Setsue, traveling to Japan, China, the Caribbean, and making many bus trips to Las Vegas. He was a lifelong learner, teaching himself to speak Japanese, Ilokano, Korean, and Spanish.
Sports were a significant part of Takashi’s life. In his younger years, he practiced judo, and as he grew older, he enjoyed fishing off the breakwater in Redondo Beach and bowling.
Takashi loved food: Unagi and saba sushi from Nijiya, McDonalds Filet-O-Fish, chasuke fish, and sashimi. He especially enjoyed lobster dinner at the old Khoury's in Long Beach and the cioppino at the old Taormina in Playa del Rey. For several years, Takashi made his own bread.
Takashi is survived by his brother, Nobuyuki Iinuma, his sons Brian Iinuma (wife Michele) and Alan Iinuma (wife Lori), his two grandsons, Daniel Iinuma (wife Kathay) and Michael Iinuma, and granddaughter, Kelli Mamiya. And many nieces and nephews living in Hawaii and California.
Takashi Iinuma’s life was marked by his dedication to his family, his career, and his passion for learning. He will be deeply missed
