Surrounded by his loving wife and children, Nagashi died at North Bay Regional Health Centre, on June 16th, 2011, following a short illness. He was born November 25, 1929 in Taipei, Taiwan and lived most of his life in Japan where, as a devout Baptist, he was a tireless volunteer in his church. He met and married his wife Glenda in Japan and later moved to Canada where he embraced his new life with wonder and excitement. He enjoyed each new adventure in his new home.
