I'm reading your comment with a heavy heart. Every time I think of the Marshall Islands and my time there, I think of your dad. I worked alongside your dad from 93 to 96 I will never forget him. He was a true Hawaiian, always smiling, always happy. He was the first person I met when I got on the island of Roi-namur. I worked with him on the antenna array Altair He took me out fishing, He showed me how to hunt coconut crab. Every time I hear Willie K I think of your dad. He was a great guy. He showed me how to cook pig in a pit hawaiian style. I spoke at your father's celebration of life ceremony on kwajalien I left the islands shortly after your father's accident I have some hi 8 Video of your dad doing the pigs and playing horses shoes. somewhere Every time I would come across them. I wouldn't want to watch the videos because of your dad And my memories of that day. I always hoped the best for his wife and his children I remember he had a son also with the name lawrence that was about twelve or thirteen at the time I hope you all have had a blessed life Your dad was a great man.
