I knew Clay for many years as a young deputy public defender. Clay had already left the PD's and was in private practice. We had some great conversations waiting together for our court hearings. He was such a kind soul and I will always remember him as someone who took great care to represent his clients. I will miss him.
I knew Clay for many years as a young deputy public defender. Clay had already left the PD's and was in private practice. Once a PD always a PD. We had some great conversations waiting together for our court hearings. He was such a kind soul and I will always remember him as someone who took great care to represent his clients. I am thankful to have know him. I will miss him dearly.
Clay Kimoto knew my heart, my thoughts, and chose me as his friend anyway. Even when he passed on to the next life, I still feel him encouraging me to be my best self. The Clay I knew was mischievous, rascal and he would greet friends with his corny jokes ... his smiles were contagious. A Kodak moment of Clay was when he and I were asked to speak at a pastor’s retirement ceremony. As we were waiting our turn to speak, Clay said to me, “Geri, toss your notes and speak from the heart.†I said to him, “it ain’t going to happen, I need my notes.†As I was making my way to the podium, Clay snatched my notes and refused to give it back to me. I stood at the podium without my notes and all I saw were eyes staring at me. God to the rescue! Not knowing what to do, I started my message with a prayer and true to Clay’s words, I did not need my notes. My beautiful memories of the retiring pastor flowed from the heart. When I returned to my seat, I was greeted by Clay’s beautiful smile that said to me, “Well done!†Thank you, Clay, for being a dear friend. Your support and faith in me helped me to achieve many things. It was a privilege to partner with you as servants of God. You will be forever missed!
Jean and familyI will not be able to attend the memorial service for Clayton due to some ongoing mobility issues. Mom (Margaret) and Nola will be able to attend to pay respects on behalf of the Miyasaki family. I am so sorry for your loss, but glad that we were able to see Clayton when the Tans came for a visit several years ago and hosted us at The Willows Restaurant. Also that Clayton was able to zoom in on the Ishikawa family zoom for my mom's 99th birthday this past fall. Always take part in any opportunity to be with family as you never know what will happen.Again, my condolences.Gaye Miyasaki (Ishikawa cousin-Margaret Miyasaki's daughter)
