Ted was a lovely person and we are so grateful to have been able to spend time with him. He had a big smile, an even bigger heart as well as a great sense of humor and a wonderful work ethic. He had that little spark in his eyes when he would show us a lovely native plant he had grown from seed, one that we knew was very difficult to grow, he loved the challenge. We learned so much from him. His legacy will live on through all the great work he did. He will be missed many.

Our deepest condolences to the Kawamura family.

Kawamura Family,

I can't say much but Ted made me earn my success in High School and later after serving in the Air Force he gave the Key that opened a 42 year career for me.
Ted was a mentor, teacher and visionary to all his students.
May his legacy carry on with the new Scholarship in his name for students at Lahainaluna who seek a degree in Agriculture and Horticulture.

Aloha e Kawamura `Ohana,

Sending deepest sympathy and aloha to all of you on Mr. Kawamura's passing. May the special memories you share give you comfort and solace at this time.

It was a privilege to interview Mr. Kawamura for the UH Maui College Preserving Our Recollections program. Although I was familiar with Mr. Kawamura from his years teaching at Lahainaluna where he litereally "grew" the ag program, I did not realize what an interesting and varied life he had. So when Darrell Oishi asked me to interview him, I looked forward to it. Mr. Kawamura was such an accomplished person who dearly loved his family and his Lahaina community. Teachers like him make such a difference in young people's lives. He has truly left a legacy of service. Mahalo nui loa, Mr. Kawamura.

Me ke aloha pumehana,
Wallette Garcia Pellegrino

Mr. Kawamura was a strong mentor of mine as well as to many agricultural students he had throughout the years. He molded my life throughout my high school years and beyond. I owe so much to him. My success throughout my agricultural career was the focus he taught me to persevere. It seemed like an omen to me when I saw he and Mrs. Kawamura at the Kahului Safeway a few weeks before his passing. I am glad I got to speak with him. Because I did not see him for a while, meeting him during this time of turmoil made me think of this omen. I will miss him forever.....a truly great and sincere person. Our sincere sympathy to the Kawamura family.
