We celebrate the life of our beloved George S. Antonio who peacefully passed away on Tuesday, August 8, 2023. George was the son of the late Clemente O. and Ethel K. Antonio Sr. of Kula and boldly grew up in upcountry Kula. He enjoyed childhood activities including fishing with his dad, cattle ranching for neighbors, hunting, boxing, basketball games in the old Kula gym, and raising his grand champion Hereford steer “Rebel” in the Kula 4-H Club. He attended the old Kealahou School and St. Anthony High School, Class of 1969. George volunteered for military service and was a proud US Navy Vietnam War Combat Veteran, two tours, 1969-1973. He was privileged to share lasting friendships with his Navy buddies. He loved the Lord and enjoyed listening to Hawaiian music.
