My deepest sympathies to the family of Stan.

He was my family's favorite cab driver. I would call him from the mainland for a ride whenever I visited here - Pearl City. He would also take me back to the airport, even at 5:00 am. He's the only cab driver that I knew that would adjust his rear view mirror to see me in the back seat rather than the traffic in the back. He certainly knew a lot about sports. I guess he loved his trips to Las Vagas.

I move to Hawaii several months ago and I would see him occasionally on Hoomalu or Noelani as I took my morning walks. Perhaps he was going home. I'd wave but alas he never saw me.

He'd bring my mother birthday presents.

Like many others, we were shocked and saddened to learn of Stan's passing. Stan has been the only driver we have hired to drop us off at the airport whenever we went on family trips. With my mother-in-law and 3 kids, we all piled into his car for the short drive from Aiea. He was always prompt, and always found a way to fit in luggage and all, even as the kids grew to be teenagers! We loved hearing about his latest Vegas vacation, and we enjoyed getting to know him throughout the years.

He was such a sweet, and beautiful person and we will miss him dearly. Our sincerest
condolences to his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Stan came into the Kaiser lab family when he delivered blood and lab sample to us. He treated us to goodies after successful trips to Las Vegas, and always had a smile to share. When he learned I was retiring last Aug, he brought me a beautiful orchid plant to celebrate. He was a gentle giant, with a heart to match. The world will be a darker place without his light.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Stan Togo. Stan was a special person.

While riding in his cab many times going to doctor appointments we found that his mother and I had the same birth date. When his mother passed away he used to bring fruits for my birthday before going to visit his mom's grave.

He'll be sorely missed.

My wife Karen and I were so saddened when we read the obituaries in today's Star-Advertiser (7/18/13) and learned that Stan Togo had passed away.

I first met Stan in the spring of 2010 when I was recovering from back surgery. My wife had arranged for him to drive me to and from my medical appointments at the Rehabilitation Hospital. He was always on time, even though the street in front of our home was undergoing repairs and the traffic was often halted for several minutes at a time.

Almost from the first time I met him I considered Stan a friend. During the drives we would talk about the many interests we shared. One of them was watching reruns of the original Hawaii Five-O TV shows because they showed Honolulu they way it used to look and featured a lot of local people who are no longer with us. I also remember that he had ordered a new taxi and was excited about getting it outfitted and on the road.

My therapy sessions were several times a week for a period of two months. My wife had prepared a gift for him when he brought me home from my last appointment. I was so surprised because he had a gift for us. Later, when Karen and I would visit the mainland we would arrange for Stan to meet us at the airport when we arrived home. He was away there waiting for us.

I had not seen him in quite a while, but it was comforting to know that if I needed him, he would be there. That, to me, is the true definition of friendship. Karen and I extend to Stan's family our deep condolences. He was a good and gentle man.
