Uncle Harry was a giant goofball! He loved Disneyland but is an even better place now! Going to miss all his jokes and how he would pray with us when we actually were able to hangout. Love you uncle. See you bumbai:)

I remember when I was a kid uncle use to be one of the bushwackers from wwe wrestling..he made me laugh so hard..I won't ever forget that.you we're a great uncle..we love and miss you...God bless uncle...

I remember how warm and loving he was when I met him! He welcomed me into the family and treated me like another daughter! I was always included in family outings, events and holidays.  I loved sitting around and listening to him sing and talk stories. When I moved from Hawaii, he  and Mom helped me and stayed with me ( at McDonalds because I had to leave my apartment) until my flight! We shared the love for Elvis! I love how much he loved life, God, Mom and his family! He will be greatly missed and forever loved by so many!
Until we meet again “Dad”

Dad loved to go to Disneyland with our Family. He was the Biggest Kid in our Family! Nobody was more excited to see the Disney Characters than my Dad! :D I love you Dad!

My Father was and will forever be an Amazing Man of God! Daddy truly loved our Mother and all of our Ohana whether near or far. My Dad was a very creative, strong, smart, funny, loving and an encouraging Father. He taught my siblings and I about how a Husband should treat his Wife, how a Father should take care, provide and nurture his children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. My Dad was always supportive. When he saw any one of us struggling, he would take the time to listen, counsel and pray for us. Dad was always proud of us. He would cheer us on at Baseball, Volleyball, Baskeyball, Band, Choir, Drama Shows, Christmas Programs and Many Many More! Dad loved Christmas. Every year he would Dress up as Santa Claus and act out the Christmas Story as Mom would read it aloud. Decorations was a MUST! If you know our Family, you know our love for Christmas Decorations. Dad LOVED Music! The soothing voice of Jimmy Swaggart, The Hymnals by the Gaithers Vocal Band, the sound Elvis Presley, the moves and music by Michael Jackson and more! Daddy was always a Hand on kinda guy. If he didn't have something and did not have the money, he made it with his hands. We called him McGyver! Daddy's favorite scripture verse is Philippians 4:13. "I CAN" do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me! My Dad is a jokester who Loves to laugh. I love you Daddy!! We got Mommy and we got eachother. You have taught us to love as Christ loves and would always remind us to "Never forget Jesus". Thank you for being our Daddy.  You will forever and for Always be in our Hearts. Until we meet again, Aloha wau ia oe♡

Love Your Baby Girl,
