October 22 at the age of 83. Beloved husband of the late Fumiko

to Thunder Bay (Fort William) where the family established themselves
among a hard working community. Kiyoshi worked for logging companies
to provide for the family and after his family was established,
Kiyoshi moved to Toronto in 1948. He married Fumiko in 1951 residing

he lived until his passing. Kiyoshi owned a successful dry cleaning
business (Apex Cleaners) for 20 years before retiring. Kiyoshi
loved sports, especially his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs, New
York Yankees, and of course Tiger Woods, and was well known for
his skill in a broad range of sports, in particular golf and
bowling. Kiyoshi was a man of great determination, was an excellent
provider who, along with Fumiko, sacrificed all for his family.
He loved his family dearly and was determined to provide his
children with the opportunity to gain industry educations. All
three children graduated from university and established successful
careers. David as a lawyer, then a senior cabinet minister in
the Mike Harris Progressive Conservative government, and now
a corporate lawyer with Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP Dan as an
oil company executive, and now in the investment dealer business
with GMP
Securities.▼
Lynne▼ first with David in his law practice,
then the venture capital business with Helix Investments, and
now in the software business with Casero and Audience View. Visitation
