Two reader comments about Henry Keola Kaiwi

I met Henry about 1 year ago when he lived next door to my friend. I did not say much so he told my friend does she not like me? When she told me this I instantly felt like crap so from then on,I do not know why but I made it a point to acknowledge him and his kids. I really cared for Henry as a true friend I sensed he did not trust people to much.He would always say be careful with the people I call friend.Since then I now understand why. RIP Henry
