Michael Cruz was one of our SVS’75 classmates, familian Pedan. Lita ‘Bach’ told Lou about Mike . We told the SVS class via WhasApp chat and collected for the funeral. Rest in peace Mike.

Aina streamed video of Pilar’s funeral
Nina Pilar Santos’ funeral was today. Aina live streamed the church funeral mass and the burial at Pigo for us off-islanders.
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..
Kyle, as NID Chief, called Rich’s house to find out why he wasn’t at work.…

Final Farewell to fallen HPD Officer Kaulike Kalama
Lou and I had an appointment in town to see a financial advisor. On the way back from town, as we were going westbound, on the other side eastbound lanes right by the Vineyard exit there was a line of about 13 police cars parked on the side of the highway, all with blue lights on. They had gotten out of their cars and were lined, as if in single file formation.…

Nina Pilar passed away today
Joanne messaged me on FB this afternoon telling us that her mom passed away this afternoon.
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. They are all from the earliest of my memories.…

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 than other recent high visibility tragedies.…

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 has anybody else from the original unit that I keep in touch with.…

For the fallen Officers of HPD
Aloha Tower illuminated blue to honor HPD officers Enriquez and Kalama.
Flags to fly at half staff as ordered by Gov Ige.
Candlelight vigil.
Three days and it still feels like a dark cloud is over the islands in horror of this tragedy. I mean I know this happens much more frequently in many mainland cities. So to NYers or Chicagoans or others, I would think this would be a “what else is new” to them.…

Princeton Crowner, RIP
Coming out of a bad news weekend, I come into work this morning and SSG Phung is on staff duty so is at the front desk.
I wasn’t really close to Crowner or anything like that. I am in the TVS section, he was on the NM side. We did work close enough in proximity and mutual job inter-dependency to be more than mere passing acquaintances.…
