Dear Friends of Papa (Kona),
I was touched to hear through my Aunty Miata that you were thinking of my father’s memory and wanted written words about his life. My one request is that his memory serves as a testament to who he was and not what he possessed materially or professionally. He lived a life that was centered around family, loving relationships and making connections with others. Upon meeting anyone for the first time, he would immediately greet that person with a “hello” or “how are you” in their native tongue or language. He treated everyone with respect, no matter what path in life they were from. He also kept in touch with everyone, friends and family and always had an encouraging word.
