Hiroko was raised in Nagasaki, Japan and lived with her grandfather and aunt. She survived the atomic devastation of her city with grace and forgiveness. Her early days were filled with business school, dancing and samurai movies. Little did she know that her life would change dramatically with the arrival of a young American sailor. Frank was born in the small town of West Point, Nebraska. He joined the Navy at 17 and began his journey to Hiroko. They met on a blind date. Fell in love. Frank was scheduled to ship back to the states and told Hiroko that he would be back. Of course, she did not believe him. However, six months later she returned home and saw his big black shoes outside the front door and Frank inside drinking sake with her dad. This was the beginning of their forty-nine year love affair. After serving in the Navy for 20 years, Frank and Hiroko retired in beautiful San Clemente. With their three children they created a home filled with laughter and love. They opened their home to all those who needed love and friendship. They hosted every holiday, graduation party, wedding reception, birthday party, and simple barbeque. In 1978 they opened their own travel agency, The Travel Office, and traversed the world. In 1989 they became grandparents for the first time. This was to be their grandest achievement. No one could have asked for a better Mom Mom and Pop Pop. We will miss them daily.
