Category: Memorial Candles
As I journaled over the years I found myself mentioning, paying tribute, memorializing quite a few times. Maybe better to have a memorial area to appropriately ‘frame’ the somber mood and not mix in with other trains of thought…
Richard Fukuhara
Mel Kiyuna shared a post on FB. Sad news of a former co-worker from the DISA DNMSS-G General Dynamics contract years. Richard was a kind and very gentle soul, perhaps one of my “conscience” type co-workers who always reminded me of the need to be courteous and forgiving. Rest in eternal peace Richard.… Continue Reading “Richard Fukuhara”

They streamed video of Pilar’s viewing
When I got home from work today I happened to see Joann and Aina putting up live feeds of Pilar’s viewing, so I got on it, and projected it from my phone to the TV. Kind of like attending I guess. The funeral is Monday (Sunday here) so I hope to get live stream feed of that.

RIP Rich Heard
This morning we (the TVS group) noticed Rich hadn’t come in and it was almost 9am. We joked about him probably having gotten the days mixed up again and thought today was his RDO. That, among other funny incidents about Rich and forgetfulness etc..
Rest in peace Rich.

Lou and I had an appointment in town to see a financial advisor.

They had gotten out of their cars and … Continue Reading “Final Farewell to fallen HPD Officer Kaulike Kalama”

The Santos’ are Lou’s family on the Golo side. Pilar and Lou are first cousins, and she grew up close to them. The Santos family is also my family from upbringing. Our families grew up next door neighbors. … Continue Reading “Nina Pilar passed away today”
HPD Officer Tiffany Enriquez’s Final Roll Call
Officer Enriquez’s funeral and final roll call ceremony was today. I captured the videos from KHNL’s web site. Officer Kaulike Kalama’s funeral has not yet been announced by the family or HPD. I don’t know, this is just a gripping and sad, somber tragedy that grabs onto me. More so… Continue Reading “HPD Officer Tiffany Enriquez’s Final Roll Call”
I think this is one of our original Kunians Jim Sipp?
I look for old friends, acquaintances, and Army buddies/associates from time to time. Particularly of the original USACC/USAISC Det Comm crew since we were sort of all closely associated as we came to Hawaii as a team. One of them was Jimm Sipp, SP5. After he left Hawaii I never heard from him again, and neither… Continue Reading “I think this is one of our original Kunians Jim Sipp?”
