Thank you for giving the world such a wonderful family. I am so happy that my husband worked with Mary's husband, which led our families to become great friends. Your memory will live on forever in our hearts and one day we will see you again. God Bless.

Thank you everyone, for sharing the wonderful memories you have of my dad. I always knew my father was special, but thought it was just a little girl loving her daddy, wholeheartedly. I had no idea the impact he had on so many lives, it's amazing!! Thank you.
I love you daddy, I miss you, please watch over us.
Please Lord, mend our broken hearts. Thank you Lord, for so many wonderful years with dad. Thank you daddy, for all the memories.
I am finally at peace now, knowing you are...

May God Bless you Auntie, and my Uncle's large family. With all my Love, James Anthony Miyagishima, Iris and Kaitland Kazuko.

"Jimmy" is how I knew him; I was 16 working at Milton Hall Cafeteria at NMSU. I worked with him for 4 years. He was so good and wonderful to me; I admired him deeply. I used to love the "Sweet and Sour Pork" he used to make for banquets. I used to try and sneak around behind him while he was cooking and grab a few of the delicious pork morsels and he pretended to show dismay. He made an enormous impact on this young woman who is now 60 years young. Once in a while someone makes a huge...
