BePage: 1 cause of his knowledge and experience, his mechanical skills came in handy and he was known as a multi-taker. While at Maui Pine he trained the summer hires how to operate the pineapple trucks to transport the harvested pineapples from the fields to the Maui Pine Cannery. You would always find Kazu working part-time at the Masusako Garage in Makawao on cars needing repairs. You would always see him in his blue coveralls working on whatever comes his way. Kazu’s recreational past-time would be going on fishing trips with his brothers and also his love for game hunting. The Nagano family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Island Hospice for compassionate care. His dog, Sachi, was his constant and faithful companion to the very end. He will be missed. Nakamura Mortuary assisted the family with the funeral arrangements and a private service and internment were held earlier due to the covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The family requested no flowers and koden.
