Tadashi Osada

Obituary TADASHI OSADA My husband, Tad (Tachi) Osada, passed away on December 8, 2005. He was born on July 13, 1945 in Tule Lake, CA and graduated from Stadium High School on June 11, 1965. On May 1, 2005 he retired from Tacoma Power after 30 years of dedicated service. He loved that job and truly cherished the many friends he had there. He enjoyed playing cribbage and poker with his friends, bowling with his family, the many vacations we took with good friends Ernie and Bert Elliott and of course, gambling at the casinos. His grandchildren were the light of his life. He leaves behind a wife (Catherine) who loved him for 21 years, children Jason and Michelle, grandchildren JD and Jayla and a large and loving family including brothers Takeshi, Masao and Takeo and sisters Hideko, Yuki, Margaret. He will be missed by all who knew him. Sincere thanks to the doctors and staff at Franciscan Hospice House who worked hard to make Tad's last hours peaceful and pain free. In consideration of the busy holiday season, a reception will be held in his honor sometime in January. Please leave online condolences at www.gaffneyfuneralhome.com.
