Obituary
Ken Hane passed away on November 29, 2020, at the age of 79 years; he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017.
Ken was born and raised in Watsonville, CA, and attended local schools. As a toddler, he was sent to Poston, Arizona Internment Camp with his parents during the war years. He graduated from Watsonville High and Cabrillo College. He was drafted into the US Army and served for 2 years and was honorably discharged.
For many years, he was employed at Teledyne McCormick Selph in Hollister, CA., in Ordnance Products as a technician. At times it was quite dangerous due to the explosive devices.
Ken enjoyed surf and trout fishing throughout his life; he spent time at Pinto Lake fishing for trout if the surf perch were not biting. He shared many trout with family and friends. He was often having breakfast or coffee with his buddies.
Ken was predeceased by his wife Doris and parents Kiichiro and Machii Hane. He is survived by his brothers Aki and Tatsuo Hane of Watsonville, and sisters Judy Hane of Watsonville, and Reiko and Thomas Akiyoshi of Santa Cruz. He also leaves nephews Andrew Akiyoshi of Dublin, and Jeff and Holly Akiyoshi of Santa Cruz, great-nephew Seiji Akiyoshi and great-niece Emi Akiyoshi, nephew Elijah Stone, and many cousins.
