Giro Nakagawa
March 15, 1921 - October 28, 2015
Longtime Nemah resident Giro Nakagawa passed away peacefully on October 28th, 2015 at the age of 94. Giro was born March 15, 1921 in Seattle, WA, one of twelve children born to hardworking immigrant parents Genichi and Itsuyo Nakagawa. Giro attended Kent High School, playing guard for their football team, which was #2 in the state. Upon graduating in 1939, Giro moved to Willapa Bay to work the oyster beds from a station house for the New Washington Oyster Company, working his first 100 days straight. Giro worked there sending most of his 70 cents an hour wages home to his family until 1942, when he was forced to relocate to an internment camp in Pinedale, CA by Executive Order 9066. Enlisting in the U.S. Army, Giro served his country during WWII in the Counter Intelligence Corp, ultimately stationed in Korea. Upon discharge, Giro returned to the land and the life he loved as an oysterman with the New Washington Oyster Company and Bay Center Mariculture, and as a primary developer of Lynn Point Properties. Giro married
Miyo in Portland, OR in 1958, remaining close to his large extended family while raising his own, and forging friendships throughout the Pacific Northwest. He was active with Masonic Lodge Gavel 48, Afifi Temple (Shriners), Hoquiam Valley Scottish Rite, Order of the Eastern Star, Raymond American Legion, Japanese American Citizens League, and a lifetime member of the Nisei Veterans Committee in Seattle. An avid sports fan and outdoorsman, Giro enjoyed bowling, golfing, hunting, fishing, birdwatching and following local high school and regional sports.
Giro was preceded in death by sisters Toshiko, Masako, Betty and Kiku, and brothers Fred, Sam, Harry, and Hank. He is survived by his wife Miyo, son Michael (Linda and Obie), son Byron, daughter and son & law Noreen & Pat, grandchildren Mia and Danny, brothers Kaz, George and Ben, and numerous nieces, nephews and grand nieces and nephews.
