I have lost a number of good friends who were also within my political circle: Hawaii Senator, Attorney, & Member of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team Nadao “Najo” Yoshinaga passed in 2009 at age 90, Hawaii Representative & Owner of Ameritone (Paint CO.) Bob Nakasone passed in 2008 at age 68, Attorney Eric Maehara passed in 2010 at age 63, President & CEO of Accucopy Consulting Group & Governmental Affairs, Scott H. Dunn who passed just recently at age 50. These are my mentors. Like me, they loved poltics, law, and business. I still feel their presence in this great challenge of bettering the human race and our world.

On the evening of Wednesday, June 29, I attended the funeral for my friend Scott H. Dunn who passed away at age 50, which was held at Diamond Head Mortuary.  He was president and chief executive officer of Accucopy Consulting Group and Governmental Affairs. I became friends with him when I became a politician. Scott believed anything was possible. He called me his little brother. Scott would tell me in regards to my political career, “You know what kiddo, you may get there.” I am deeply saddened of his passing.
