Adam “Papa Jack” was a hard working man. He was a man of many trades from construction at Grace Brothers, to ranching at Kipahulu Ranch, to maintenance and repair at Hasegawa General Store. “Pops” was well respected for his fluent speaking of Hawaiian language and many sought him for his wisdom concerning Hawaiian medicinal remedies. He was always found with a smile on his face and an extra kick in his step.
