I found this out in the Facebook posts about the tragedy. Unbelievable. Unbelievably tragic on, now, yet, another level.

Bill Jarboe
I first met Bill Jarboe as SP5 Jarboe at Ft. Ritchie, MD on my first assignment after AIT. He and I both then got picked for the project Kunia assignment, so went TDY to Ft. Gordon for SATCOM school and then 4 months training at Ft. Meade before going to Kunia, HI. I ran into him in Korea after the Hawaii assignment,… Continue Reading
Thoughts – an old friend Martin Mendiola
I searched several times over the years after hearing from someone that Mart passed away. I finally found something.
I think I can honestly say that Mart, of all my teenage friends, has held one of the more significant memories for me. We hung out like thick and thin for a while. I actually learned how to and then… Continue Reading
Eva Concannon from Kunia Days

Prayer warriors are needed…
Another Celebration for Peter, this one a closer Family gathering
We had another celebration of life gathering for Peter, this one being at our house for our family and close friends tribute. We waited this long so that most of the family, our kids in particular since they grew up close to Peter, could attend. Lunch gathering…
The saddest is when it’s a child
When it’s a child, when the family is tangibly real to you, when you know the parent. What to say to them when their child dies by suicide… The saying is real: A parent should never have to experience the death of their child. I simply cannot imagine the horrific thoughts, reactions, parents experience… Continue Reading
Celebration of Life for Peter
Lynn held a small, friends circle kind, celebration of life for Peter at Choi’s Lounge in Pearl City last night/evening (Friday 2/1/19). Nothing formal, no speech or anything. Just friends showing up, mostly her work friends and their close circle, and us. I went, Lou, and then Lina and Justin showed… Continue Reading
