I just received the note today that told me of Pono's passing. Though I have never met Pono in person, I felt like he was a friend. I looked forward to talking with him on the phone and he was always beyond helpful. He would remember who I was, ask me about my family, and was genuinely interested in how life was going. It really hurt my heart to hear that he had passed. I will genuinely miss hearing his distinct voice in which, even now, I could always detect a smile. This is the first picture I have ever seen of him, and he looks exactly as I imagined. What a kind and wonderful person. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. Your son, your friend Pono will be missed. In peace and light, Jenni on the Big Island
