All of the Ngalu’s are great cooks! We were blessed to be included in so many wonderful meals and conversations in their Kihei home!
We especially loved how Paula’s children would remind him what he should and should not be eating🤣😂

We enjoyed getting to know Paula and Minette’s children as they came from Utah and California ….also other close friends of theirs as well as Paula’s family.

Paula was so kind to always make sure we were included in their Sunday dinners with family and friends. He also made sure Al had plenty to eat (as he was there almost 3 months before Jill) by bringing home Tongan plate lunches for Al. His thoughtfulness and generosity was so appreciated. He was a true friend, and in many ways, more like a brother to Al! We will miss his warm smile and true spirit of Aloha.  Much love and prayers to Minnette, his children, and family!🙏🌺💝

Balloon Arch at the Fathers Day dinner and dance! Wish so much that we would have gotten a pic with Paula and Minnette…but I am sure they have one of the two of them just like this one💕

When we stayed at their Kihei house for 6 months upon first arriving in Maui, Paula was so kind to invite us to the Tongan Ward (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) Father’s Day dinner and dance in Kahului. We had such a fun evening with Paula and Minnnette.  Great food, dancing, and lots of special memories made that night😀

Paula changed my life.
Not from the work he gave me or the money I was paid... But by the kindness he showed in all things. By the culture he exposed me to and welcomed me to experience. By his unwavering and deep spirit of aloha. By his understanding, trust and acceptance of me, with all of my flaws. 
So many days of our lives go by, with nothing to look back on... Every day I was lucky enough to spend with Paula, are days I will never forget, even though many of them were long nights.
I am forever grateful to have known him. I only hope that he knew how much he has done for me.
Rest easy, my friend.

So sorry for your loss.  He was a great man and loved watching his videos.  We love your family dearly and he will not be forgotten.  Much love and prayers coming your way. 😢😢

Hi Uncle Paula🥹 (Vahevahe Manatu Melie)
                I remember every time I flew to Maui with Uncle Fohe’s kids (Siunipa and Vili)I would always hear your name, but I never had the chance to meet you in person. Then one day, Uncle Fohe introduced me to you, along with my younger sister, and we finally talked. We came to your house ‘o toli homou fuu tava mo pehē pē ke vave na ha’u e owner, that memory still makes me smile.

Uncle Fohe always told me you were the hardworking brother, so good at pickleball and so many other things. I could feel how much your brother loved you just through the way he spoke about you.
We met again at the pickleball court, and you asked me if I had already eaten. Uncle Fohe whispered to me, “Ask him to give you one pickleball paddle,” haha. That memory will stay with me forever, Uncle Paula.

Visiting Maui won’t be the same without you there. I’m so happy I got to meet you, talk with you, and be encouraged by your words—to keep going and to stay focused on school. Rest well, Uncle. We love you so much.
Please send my love to Grandpa Piu and Grandpa Otukolo.

Ofa lahi adu
Ofa ki Onetale Tahitua
