I moved to Maui at 21 yrs old. I met Willie my first day at Kaleialoha right after getting my things moved in. He helped me with so much, took me fishing and introduced me to not only Aloha but to some of the most amazing people I've met in my life that I'm proud to call my Ohana. He watched me grow as well as my own daughters who love their Uncle Willie so much. Thank you for everything my brother, I miss you already.
We will miss you Willie!!!
Aloha Cousin Willie, this is cousin Joe from Chicago, we had some great memories here in Chicago and in Hawaii, I will miss ya bro, keep that smile going where ever you are, you are the Aloha Spirit!!! Love ya, Joe Cirincione and Tracy!!!
My condolences to Willie's family. I came to know and appreciate Willie from my frequent visits to the Kulakane where he worked. He will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Willie's passing. I lived at Kaleialoha from 2002-2006, and during that time Willie was the host of all things social at that beautiful spot on the Pacific. He could be tough with visitors (especially in the parking realm), but I do remember that after my knee surgery, Willie organized an upfront space in that very same lot for me (via a trade with another resident that he negotiated without my asking) while I was recovering. My thoughts are with friends and family.
When Willie was manager at the Kaleialoha, he was always there to help our entire family share a few days in our little bit of paradise. We will miss you Willie.
The Christensen family
When Willie was the head cook at Longhi's, Lahaina, (early '80's) he was one of my best friends. He, along with Fuzz Clegg and Steve Bray made up a foursome of best friends that went sailing, surfing, and 4x4 in Willie's Suzuki at Makena Beach. Yeah, we partied, but it was about living the Maui aloha lifestyle to the max.
I made a pact with Willie in '85 that every New Year's Eve I would toast to him and to my other brothers and I've kept that promise. He will always be remembered as someone that made my life a difference in my life.

A man bursting with Love, Free Spirit and Happiness. His passion for life will live on with the many people he has touched. His “Ohana” was large because whether you were the family he grew up with or the Friends he met along the way, you were now his “Ohana”.
Born and raised with his sisters in Chicago and later finding his happiness on Maui as a gourmet chef. His adventurous spirit loved surfing as a younger man, fishing, and whale watching or just simply hanging out and enjoying life to its fullest. He lived his life with passion and took every moment to the limit and then some.
Willie was an ambassador of the Aloha way of life. He lived it, embodied it and he simply was Aloha.
Your Free now Willie! Just imagine the adventures you’ll have in Heaven, Aloha!!!
