Mike Nakano was one of my first Hawaii friends. He was the pianist at Waialae Baptist Church when I arrived in 1977 as the music minister. Ruth Smith, and later Ofelia Dirige, were the organists. and we met together weekly to rehearse the service music. Mike's kind, sweet spirit was always an encouragement to us. Mike and I had lunch together not long after his retirement in 2010. I remembered how important his friendship was to me. He is a "treasure laid up in Heaven" and I look forward to the day Mike, David, Ruth and Ofelia make music again before God's throne.
