Robert Amai passed away on September 4, 2017 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The obituary was featured in Las Vegas Optic on October 6, 2017.
I grew up with Robert since grade school and graduated from Hilo High School in 1950. He was a genuine friend although we met only occasionally after high school at class reunions, I have very fond memories of him. Conversed with him last year and am proud to read of his high achievements. We will all miss a great classmate.
Aloha Robert,

Dr. Amai was a well-respected professor, and very caring person. I worked under him doing undergraduate research and learned so much from him. I know he will be greatly missed, but he will live on in our hearts and memories. My most sincere sympathies to his family. May he rest in peace.

What a loss for this world! Dr. Amai always went out of his way to help students. He was amazing, not only as a professor and person but had a talent to remember your name after meeting you for the first time. Years could pass and he never forgot who you were. A thoughtful, considerate, and caring man to all. God Bless you Dr. Amai for the many memories you gave me. Thank you for being a friend, mentor, leader, and super instructor. You will never be forgotten.
May God welcome you...

Lonnie and I are thinking of you both during this trying time and I am remembering my time spent with Dr. Amai. Having known him through school, the Kiwanis, the Chamber of Commerce and the Las Vegas political scene was an honor and a definite learning experience for me. He will be missed but never forgotten. Remember that he has gone to a far better place and will be sitting at the left hand of our Lord and Savior. Peace be with you both, Pat and Wendy......
