A shinning light of Love, Inspiration in all he did for Hawaii. He taught me how to respect the aina thru Taro. My fondest memory (and have so many) was when he pulled up to our house with his Tractor to help finish our Taro Field after hand picking a great deal of it. God Bless to the Konanui Ohana.
