thenorthshore would love to make some more friendly connections for this native hawaiian. he grew up on o‘ahu in pūpūkea but he moved to honolulu when he was 23ish. he is a widower and his wife grew up in honolulu so maybe people who knew his wife he stayed in contact with, maybe her best friend? a mechanic that works for him in his shop or a girl/boy friday that knows a little about a lot of automotive things and helps him out? or an apprentice? other business owners that are in the area, or other people connected to social services via foster parents/social workers. maybe a bar fling or two if we can't come up with anything else?
