Published in The Miner on Jan. 14, 2021 - Kingman, Arizona - On Jan. 8, 2021, our father crossed from his earthly existence to his heavenly home after a long, brave fight with respiratory and heart illness. He was born in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 27, 1941 to the late Evelyn and Warren. He was married to his late wife, Fumiko, for almost 50 years. He lived in Kingman, Arizona for the past seven years and formerly lived in Sun City, California. He was a retired Marine as a Master Gunnery Sergeant with 23 years of courageous and adventurous service to our country. Some of the highlights in his career include that he went to Communist China with the U.S. military attaché as the official translator, and had a three-year stint in the Hong Kong U.S. Embassy in the Intelligence Billet.
