I searched for Dr Okamura and found this obituary 5 years too late. My family especially my mother were a longtime patients of his. In a cold winter night in the 80s my mother's health condition was not well I called doctor Okamura for help and advice. He drove to our house to make a visit checking on her condition. Yes he did. He was my son's and niece's delivery doctor. Dedications, caring, devoted his life for patients. My family, father, mother and siblings are so grateful to have him as the family doctor. Thank You and Rest in Peace doctor.



I have just learned of Yosh's passing and I am deeply saddened.  To Jean, James, Gary, and the entire Okamura family I send my heart felt condolence. I knew Yosh as a kind, caring, and dedicated physician, a hard working, knowledgeable, and feisty colleague, and a trusted investment advisor.  He devoted his life to helping others. I will remember him with great fondness.  
With deepest sympathy,

Sorry that many of us will be unable to attend as we are working that day. I remember a conversation about 15 years ago at the funeral of a fellow nurse in Lethbridge , he wondered when his turn would come, and acknowledged that we only got together for funerals. This was on one of his trips back to Lethbridge. I didn't work with him for Long at St Michael's Hospital but I did see how much he enjoyed his work and impact he had on his pts.thoughts go out to his family.

I am sending my sincere condolences to the Okamura family. As a former collegue and patient I have many fond memories of a wonderful physician who was an expert in his field. He loved to teach and was an amazing mentor to all who met and worked with him. He will be missed for sure.

Deepest condolences to the OKAMURA family for your loss. 92 years is far too short a life for such a man. 

Yosh worked so hard, did so much and helped so many people. He was a big part of the medical community in Lethbridge for a long time. He will be deeply missed on many levels. 

He was very proud of you and loved you all greatly.

I am writing this condolence with a sad and heavy heart upon learning we have lost a dear and longtime friend.  Dr Okamura's lifetime dedication to medicine is known throughout the patient and community population.  Patients of all financial/community standings were treated equally and of the highest order.  It is difficult now to realize that we are to be denied this association.  I will think of my friend often and forever miss our frequent telephone conversations. David Crawford

My condolences to the family of Dr Yosh Okamua.My name is Jane McClain (née Graham)
I was a young nurse working at Lethbridge Municipal Hospital -1971-1995. I worked closely with Dr. Okamura on many occasions and when it came time for me to be a young mother,Dr. Okamura came to my rescue during difficult obstetrical circumstances.  Long story short--because of him, I got a healthy daughter and later a healthy son. He was a truly caring physician and an excellent Obstetrician and Gynecologist
A little side story- He actually closed his office during one of my appointments, carried me to his car, drove me at great speeds to the emergency department, carried me inside and ordered immediate surgery!!
I am now seventy years old and have thought about him many times over the years.
May he rest in peace!

So sorry for your loss.  I started going to Dr. Okamura when I was 15 years old.  He delivered 2 of my 3 children.  It was a very sad day for me when he retired.  I think of him every time I drive by his old office.  Such a nice man and to this day I consider him the best Doctor I've ever had!!!!

"Dr. Okamura was the most amazing doctor. He helped us through the loss our first child, a boy and with surgery, made it possible for us to delight in the birth of two daughters, in the following years. We will always love him and remember his quiet sense of humor. Travel well Doc."

Dr. Okamura was my Dr. and delivered both of my children (in Lethbridge).  Whenever I had an appointment with him, he always took the time to have a short visit with me.  He was my Dr. until he retired.  I am saddened to hear of his passing.  My heart goes out to all of his family.  If I could I would be there for his service.

Sincere sympathy to the OKAMURA families. Doc was a unique, gentle and caring man. He will be truly missed by all. He truly believed in sharing his life experiences and memories. We will remember him, a close friend.

My condolences to Dr. Okamura's family.  It was nice to have such a kind, loving man deliver both my children. I loved going to my appointments and listening to his stories. His compassion for his work made him one of the best doctors in Lethbridge.

I am very worry for the loss of Dr. Okamura.  He was my gynecologist when my first child was born in 1988.  Any other doctor may not of had the knowledge and expertise of delivering my son and the outcome may of been a whole lot different if he hadn't been my dr.

We are very sorry for your loss.  Uncle Yosh was always a great family historian with lots of stories.  Our thought and prayers are with you.  Sorry we could not be there.  Love, Janice, Scott, Liam, Sachi & Kaori
