Handie’s motto “if you can help, help; if you can’t, there is always next time”. Handie was a hard worker driving to Kaanapali from Makawao for 40+ years! He retired as an “Irrigation Specialist 1” at Kaanapali Golf Course. Handie loved to fish and cook. You could always find Handie in his kitchen cooking for his family all the grinds from Hawaiian food to Filipino food too. Handie catered a lot of parties over these many years for his family and friends. Handie always made sure everyone was welcomed in his home no matter your situation he made sure to feed you, you had a place to sleep and call home. Handie was an all-around guy, quiet and humble but was always there when you needed him! Handie is FOREVER loved and will truly be MISSED by so many!

Ah Puck would like to give special MAHALO to Captain Saribay and crew from MFD, Maui Paramedics, Detective’s Kamuela Mawae and Brian Manlapao, his many doctors and nurses at Kaiser, and to Mapu, Aloha & The Staff of Norman's Mortuary.
