To Dick's family - please know your father was a wonderful kind and responsible individual who loved all of you so very much. He was a fabulous neighbor, always kind and caring. I certainly miss him, seeing his daughters and yes . . . I definitely miss his sweet loving wife, Mary.

May your memories keep him alive in your hearts.
I send to each of you my best . . . if you ever are back in Euless, please give me a call, or drop by.

Dear Mark & Girls,
Roger and I loved Mary and Dick so much. They were a wonderful couple, friends, and great parents to all of you. I know Mary and Dick placed their children first in their hearts - your dad, Dick, worked so many hours to help each one of you be the best you could be. He always had time for his family and friends. They welcomed us as their neighbors when we first moved next door to them in 1977, and they continued to greet us, laugh with us, and be friends to us until life took them elsewhere. We have missed their beautiful friendship, and we know your hearts are saddened today for your loss. These two wonderful people will live on and on in so many hearts - their spirits are ones that shine with laughter and love of life. May you seek comfort from our heavenly father who takes care of us daily - I pray for your inner peace and your continued celebration of your parents life and love they have for you and so many others. I praise God for their wonderful heritage and the influence they have had on our lives, and our sons, Ron and Ren.
Our prayers and sympathy for all,
Mary Anne & Roger Phillips

Our deepest sympathy to the Miyamoto Family.
Akira (although we knew him as Dick) was a wonderful man and friend. We came to know Dick when he started bringing Mary for dialysis treatments. He was a wonderful conversationalist and told us many stories of his life. He was a great American patriot.
God bless you always,
Ricardo and Judy Castanuela

It has been a true honor to be able to say that Dick "Aki" Miyamoto, was a friend of mine. There is a tremendous hole in my heart and I wish I could have one more dinner and movie with him. He has forever touched my life as well as my family with being the simple, kind, loving, gracious man, friend, grandpa and so much more that he was to us. We love you Dick and you will forever be with us. Thank you!!

To the family-Dick always talked with so much love and admiration for his family. He was so proud of each and every one of you. May God wrap his loving arms around you all and give you comfort in this time of loss. Please let Dimas or myself know if there is anything you need.

Love and prayers,
Candice and Dimas Arispe

To Mark and the Miyamoto family,

Even though his given name was Akira, I respectufully called him Mr. Dick as I only knew him as this. He was a born leader, very knowledgablable, and a good friend. I am glad to have had the oppurtunity to work with him during his "second" tour @ Allied Electronincs. He has been missed since he left Allied and will be missed by many.

Naomi,
I'm praying for you and your family. I was reading Matthew 5 this morning and verse 4 says "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." May you and your family be comforted by the Lord during this difficult time.

God Bless,
