Alika Kalanihuia
I can't believe you've left us. You were supposed to live forever, but I guess it will have to suffice that you will always live in our hearts. The first time I paddled as a team was with you, Mel Paoa, Steve Skipper, Scott Enreich, Glenn Phillips, and Dan Bennet, with Kalani Lee as our coach. Great memories of you, a truly good man. It was always a treat when you would come back to Molokai and to hear you voice saying, "Hey Alika, Howzit?". Now there will be an emptiness for me to bear. Aloha oe old friend. You are truly missed by this Hawaiian.
