Sadly, we know nothing of Kazuko's life in Japan before she married into our family and moved to Louisiana in the United States.
During the war, Kazuko met Morris, who married her and brought back her to the States with him.
Morris and Kazuko arrived from Yokohama, Japan in Seattle, Washington on 9 Sep 1954; from there they traveled to Baton Rouge, where they settled. They had no children.
Kazuko was known for her gorgeous, handmade gowns that were worn by elite revelers at the infamous Mardi Gras Balls in New Orleans.
Morris and Kazuko were brutally murdered in their home on Dalton Street in Baton Rouge; a double homicide - the first murder of the new year - that caused much local media attention. Allen "Lil Boo" Robertson Jr. is still on death row at Louisiana State Penitentiary for the crime. He was a neighborhood child who had grown up knowing the kindly, elderly couple.
The couple left all of their money and belongings to their church, with whom they were very active. Their memory is honored there to this day.
