Hi dad,
This is kinda awkward and new to me but heck I'll give this a go. For me though you were quiet still knew you're THE MAN. I was taught how to strain paint, fix this n that, filling bottles to tile walls and on to carrying hollow tiles to build walls. I wish I took the initiative to learn how to cook your specialities cause we all miss it. I'm sorry I gave you and mom such a hard time having my own kids now I know better. Miss your smile, your laughter and cute comments. Doing my best to keep mom company as you may well know kinda of a big chore. I love you.

Happy Father's Day, Daddy! I hope you liked that I was by to tidy up your headstone this morning - at least we can see the clean edges of the granite now. It was a good time for me to spend talking with you one-on-one - thank you for listening. Miss you and love you!

Hi Daddy...Just wanted to let you know even though I don't go to your gravesite much I think of you very often, more so now that I've been diagnosed with metastasis to the liver. I miss you more now than before. Each time I see Mom I say a prayer that you continue to watch over her cause she needs you to be with her. The family's growing - Kody's now in the USCG and Kanoe's expecting your first great great grandson anytime now. Love you....Linda

It's only been three months since you left us, Daddy, and I'm still missing you terribly. Chelle sent a picture of your marker - it's really quite beautiful. But I still haven't been able to bring myself to going to see it. The kids tell me they visit you often - I'm so glad to hear that. Corinna's in surgery today - please be with her through the procedure, you know how she hates needles. Love you....Linda

Remembering your Dad as being so quiet but we always knew when we were doing something wrong just by looking at his eyes....
Praying for your Ohana and sending my love from Houston, TX.

Love you all

Howzit. Condolences on your family's loss. My best memory of him was when I was dating Corinna. She had brought me home to her house and he was sitting at the kitchen table area. I said hi when she introduced me and he just nodded his head and kept eating his meal (I think it was chicken papaya). After a while, he said to me, "Eh you. Open da TV." I thought I heard him wrong, and said, "Pardon me?" and he again said "Open da TV." I thought to myself, "well this is awkward. I just met him and now he wants me to fix his TV." So I told him, "Okay. Do you have a screwdriver?" And he said kinda loudly, "What?!" I said it again and he went back to eating and reading the newspaper. When Corinna came back out from her room from changing, she asked me, "Why didn't you turn on the TV?" I looked at her and then it dawned on me, "OOOHHHHHH! He meant to turn it on!" Later on he told me to "close the light" on a different occasion and I knew exactly what he meant. Safe travels to you sir, and peace and strength to your family.

Aloha

P.S. - Corinna...If that was you at Times, sorry I didn't recognize you at first. My dad also passed away recently (Sep 14th) and my mind was kinda shut down at the time so I was on autopilot when you looked at me. I realized that it might be you after about 15 minutes and went to look for you, but you were already gone. Aloha!

He was my first love, my hero. A quiet man, he rarely spoke, was usually smiling, yet we always knew he loved us and wanted the best for all of us. A male among a bevy of females, I don't ever remember seeing him get flustered - even when as a young girl I put the van in gear and it slid halfway over the carport wall into the sand box. When Dad got home, all he did was smile, and put me to work trying to lift the van and push it back onto the solid surface :-)
