I enjoyed the few discussions I had with him.  The threads he posted with his grandson always made me smile.  He will be missed.

Aw man, we lost another "Good Guy". He was always so positive, which is so rare in this day and age.  He will be missed.  Farewell Toshi.

Sorry guys, I meant to post the obituary here.  I wanted to reach out to each and everyone of you that posted on this thread first as I knew some were pretty close to him on a personal level  

He lived the next city over from where I work. We were eventually going to get together for some coffee and talk shop but that never happened, as life gets in the way. His positivity and personal transparency was certainly a breath of fresh air in this world and this forum. May he rest of in peace.

Allen T. Miura Jr. Ohio obituary  (tribunearchive.com)

 

His modeling was his main therapy for his TBI, and he got good at it.

Maybe Lawdog, you could post a link to wherever you read it. i would like that.

He was something. When he first came along he was a new modeler and was whipping out models at a serious pace. We worked together to learn for him to enjoy the process, and he got good at relaxing.

 

I know there was another grandchild on the way.

 

Fair winds and a following sea, friend to us all.

Lawdog found out he passed away last October.

He was a valued member of our little community here.

RIP Toshi

Not in well over a year.  I know the Mrs. had some more health problems and just wonder if he lost her, and lost all interest in the hobby. She's his rock with his TBI issues.

 

 

that would be so sad!  But, I know he also had his grandson that he would build with....

I posted the same question 8 months ago, but all the responses were negative.

I don't get on here much these days, but I was just scrolling through and thought of the old feller, realizing that I hadn't seen any posts from him....

 

anyone have any contact with him?
