Stanley Shigeichi Kaneshiro's Obituary
On Friday, September 18, 2020, Stanley Shigeichi Kaneshiro, devoted husband, father, and papa, passed away peacefully at the age of 79. He was born on March 6, 1941 and raised in Pu’unene. He graduated from Baldwin High School in 1960 and retired from Love’s Bakery in 2017, after 40 years of service.

He became a cherished Papa to Khaili, Kaylin, Race, Cam, Avry, Keirah, and Kahiau.
Stanley was a kind, genuine, and humble man. He worked hard and provided for his family well. He enjoyed reading current events, watching sports, and dining at his favorite restaurants. His loved ones miss him dearly and will never forget his warm smile, caring gestures, and one-of-a-kind humor.

He is survived by his wife Bernadette; three daughters, seven grandchildren; sisters, Jane Kuwaye and Barbara (Dennis) Kunimura; sister in law, Camille Kaneshiro; numerous nieces, and nephews.
