I first met this Hawaiian at a party somewhere in Waipahu, I’m pretty sure Dwight was there too… This was before football summer camp and becoming a border. Yup, after that first glassy eye session, followed by many more, we became Buddies and I thank him for that…
As tears fall and memories come alive with laughter, Hawaiian, & Reggae, let’s all celebrate this Hawaiian and give thanks. Although tears flow as he begins his new journey It’s, all good… ʻAkaʻaka mākou, Uwe mākou, Aloha mākou, ʻAi mākou, Moe mākou, when these become daily habits… Life is Good! Maikaʻi ke ola! AURITE…
