Born November 11, 1928, went peacefully to be with his Lord on March 5, 2020 in South Lake Tahoe, California. Noboru was born in Kapaa, Kauai, and moved with his family to Oahu where he attended Mid-Pacific Institute. He attended Washington University in St Louis where he completed his undergraduate and medical degree. He returned to the islands as the first fellowship trained hematologist/oncologist and went on to have a very successful practice which included helping start the cancer center of Hawaii as well as teaching and research at the University of Hawaii medical school. He was very involved with the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG), a national organization that promotes research and clinical trials, where he made key scientific contributions that led to improved oncologic care for patients in Hawaii. He is survived by his spouse Jeri and her children Christian, Scott, and Amy; his son Scott and his grandsons Warren and Benn; and his sister Akiye. The family ask that any gifts be given directly to the SWOG "Jeri and Noboru Oishi Symposium" in the memory of Dr. Oishi at www.thehopefoundation.org/donate
