"I have great memories of you dad and i will cherish my time with you forever. I catch myself thinking of you all the time. I miss you so much and i find myself crying all the time then i realize you probably would be telling me what the hell you crying for. We would always discuss our next meals and you would roll over with a big smile and ask me you know how to cook roast pork? Prime rib? of course my answer would always be no but i can try and i did. I never failed you. On your worst days when you weren't feeling your best you would tell me your daddy (meaning him) is a really grouchy man and i would always respond to you yeah dad but i'm used to it and please don't change anything. We would always have to come home on the scenic route (South Kihei Road) or pass the Harbor so you could see if there was fish for sale and see the ocean. Dad this is the hardest thing i ever had to do is say good bye to you and of course as I'm writing this i'm crying my eyes out i better stop before i get the heavenly slaps from you. We celebrate your life with endless stories and memories. I Love you forever dad you will never be forgotten your daughter Tissue (yep my dad gave me that nickname)"
I use to ask him what we were going to eat for dinner and his responses would always be “fried farts and onions” jokingly. That’s how I knew that dinner was always going to be a surprise.
It's sad to learn that another of our Kihei ohana has passed. We were fortunate to grow up in Kihei and share a lot of good times with the Ting ohana. Camping with the Boy Scouts and playing basketball at the Ting's basketball court were special times. My dad used to call Buggy "Champ" and everyone knew the reason. Lot's of good laughs!
Well now you are with the Lord and at peace.
Our condolences to all your ohana. God bless and mai poina.
Glenn (Tiny) and Dorothy Ventura
Uncle Alan Kimi here missing Daddy and Grandpa. He and i were roommates in Honolulu while Dad was serving in the military, and i was a college brat.. He so loved his fresh fish (poke before it was even popular and trendy) and beer in the refrigerator. He never wasted anything in the theFridge, especially fresh (And even not so fresh) fish. He taught me patience and loyalty to family and friends. I loved being around him; happy up-beat and kind. Although Noe and Daddy went their separate ways; i always have that same love and respect when he was my roommate, mentor, brother-in-law; but mostly my friend that i truly looked up to. Thank you for sharing your Daddy with me. Love you always Buggy...
