My earliest memories of Uncle Kimo, are the same as my last. LOOK AT THIS GUY PARKING THIS VEHICLE ON THE CURB.  And then he comes out dressed in his best to do a coconut husking demo for the tourist or to show me that he's still got it. Both memories are over 30 years apart. Whether it was Crusader pride or the Pekelo blood, don't let that face fool you. This man loved everyone. I'm truly honored that he flew out to my wedding on Kauai. Uncle Kimo showed up. For everyone. I am grateful for my uncle. I am blessed to have had him in my life. We all are.

I'll miss picking you up from golf & the great times we had together.  Can't  believe you're gone. We shared a lot of memories.
Love & miss you Kimo.

Gabe will carry your advice & mentorship with him at St. Louis.

Mahalo Bruddah Kimo for being a great classmate & a great FRIEND. I remember  that day we went golfing & you gave my grandson Gabriel some golf & football tips.  Told Gabe to remember Uncle Kimo's advice & carry it with you on the football field & in the classroom.
