WO
HENRY CHANG
12-Oct-1574
19-Sep-15
WO, HENRY CHANG, JR., Hawaiian kupuna Henry Chang Wo Jr. sounded the alarm over vanishing limu and led efforts 
to protect and restore seaweed beds and the ecosystems they anchor. Known fondly as 'Uncle Henry,' the lanky Ewa 
Beach resident crisscrossed the islands giving 'show and tell' sessions, educating thousands of keiki and adults on the 
care, uses and role of limu in the Hawaiian way of life. He died of lung cancer at age 74 on Sept. 19 and will be 
remembered at a service on Oct. 29. 'He was a living treasure,' said Alan Murakami, director of community 
engagement for the Native Hawaiian Legal Corp. 'There are not a lot of people left like that. He spoke from the heart, 
quietly, humbly, with passion. It made you want to listen.' Born in Honolulu on May 19, 1941, Chang Wo grew up in 
Halawa and would go to the Ewa shoreline with his family every weekend to fish and pick limu, according to his niece, 
Zsanette 'Sugar' Alfafara-Pires. His mother and grandmother taught him to gather the different species carefully, 
without disturbing the roots, back when native seaweed was so plentiful it reached up onto the sand. He called the 
area 'The House of Limu.' In later years, he was dismayed to see native seaweeds disappearing after sugarcane fields 
gave way to housing development in the area. He worked to remove invasive species and replant native varieties, 
anchoring the willowy algae with rocks. When overzealous harvesters yanked that limu up by the roots, he 
spearheaded a successful campaign to get the state Department of Land and Natural Resources to set aside a 'no pick 
zone' to allow the limu to regenerate at Ewa Beach. The Limu Management Area became part of Hawaii law effective 
Jan. 1, 2007. A diver and fisherman, Chang Wo was fearless in protecting his ocean heritage. He challenged Haseko 
(Ewa) Inc. before the Board of Land and Natural Resources when the developer sought permission to bulldoze a berm 
along the sandy beach in front of Kaloi Gulch to allow storm runoff to flow directly into the ocean at Oneula Beach 
Park. He was concerned that pollutants such as motor oil and pesticides would kill the limu. The permit was granted, 
but the case is on appeal. 'Uncle Henry was the salt of the ocean,' said David Kimo Frankel, the Native Hawaiian Legal 
Corp. attorney representing him on the case. 'He was totally the salt of the earth, but really, he was the salt of the 
ocean.' A Kamehameha Schools graduate, Chang Wo co-founded the Ewa Limu Project. He taught that limu was a 
crucial part of the web of life, a source of nutrition and healing. With help from the nonprofit Kua’aina Ulu Auamo, 
better known as KUA, he linked up with other practitioners in Limu Hui to share and pass on their knowledge. 'It’s the 
start of life, it has all the energy,' he said in a Limu Hui video. 'It has all the vitamins. And without you realizing it, by 
eating limu, you don’t have to go to Longs Drugs and pick up all those pills. It’s right in our limu. And it’s something that 
we losing. We losing the knowledge of it. … We are the last ones that need to keep up this practice and get all the 
young kids involved.' In 2009, he asked Wally Ito to join him at limu 'show and tell' sessions, with Ito offering the 
scientific side of the equation while Chang Wo presented the traditional side. They talked to school groups, halau, 
Hawaiian clubs and neighbor island communities. At first, they were doing three or four talks a year, Ito said, but 
demand grew to the point where they were making one presentation almost every week. 'Uncle Henry said that where 
the fresh water meets the salt water, that’s where the ocean hanau, that’s where the ocean gives birth,' recalled Ito, 
Limu Hui coordinator for KUA. Many freshwater species spend part of their life cycle in the ocean, and saltwater 
species in their larval stage spend time in that brackish water environment, Ito noted. Chang Wo urged residents on 
neighbor islands to cherish shoreline areas that were still relatively pristine, urging them to protect the entire sweep of 
land from mountaintop to ocean. 'He would warn them, this is what happened to Ewa, so watch out, look up mauka,' 
Ito said. 'You need to be careful of what happens up mauka.' Chang Wo was still working as a maintenance mechanic 
for the Department of Transportation’s Airports Division when he fell ill. He also worked for Hawaiian Electric and 
spent a decade at Johnston Atoll with Holmes & Narver Inc. In recent years, 'Uncle Henry' spent Saturdays with Ito and 
others at a state aquaculture facility at Sand Island, growing limu, including ogo, huluhuluwaena and eleele, along with 
mullet. They provided limu to community groups to plant in their areas. His friends vowed to carry on that mission. A 
celebration of Chang Wo’s life will be held at Mililani Memorial Park and Mortuary, mauka chapel, in Waipahu, on Oct. 
29, with visitation at 5:30 p.m. and the service at 6:30 p.m. Chang Wo had three sons, Mark and Timothy Chang Wo 
and Justin Alfafara, and eight grandchildren. Kevin K.J. Chang, KUA’s executive director, said Chang Wo’s message

RODRIGUES
FRANK III
3-Jan-16
14-Dec-15
RODRIGUES, FRANK III, On December 14, 2015 our loving Father took Frank's hand guiding him to his everlasting home. 
The journey was sudden but we are comforted in the knowledge that Frank now sits with the Lord singing praises of 
worship with his melodic voice. Frank and his loving wife Connie shared 45 years of marriage and were blessed with a 
daughter, Dionne. Their hearts continue to be warmed and comforted by their many memories and Frank's life lessons. 
He is also survived by his sister, DaisyMae Clark, nieces and nephews and his beloved doggies Ewok and Muppet. Frank 
was a wonderful husband and proud father supporting Connie and Dionne in their dreams and ambitions. He saw 
Dionne graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design from the Art Institute in June 2015 and always encouraged 
her to pursue her dreams. As Connie's right hand, he was always there to assist with errands and tasks allowing her to 
focus on her Real Estate career at Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties. Connie receiving her Aloha Aina Award is a 
testament to them both. Frank served our great nation and after returning home from Vietnam in the late 1960's 
worked in the construction industry. He was a foreman for Highway Construction Company for many years before 
retiring in 2002. Frank was an active participant at the Veterans Center in Kapolei where he helped support other 
Vietnam era veterans dealing with war-related issues like PTSD. He recently became a proud member of the Veteran of 
Foreign War and had the pleasure of attending their 2015 Christmas Luncheon the day before his passing. Frank 
enjoyed playing the guitar and ukulele while singing Hawaiian and Christian songs but his passion was being in the 
ocean. For the last several years, he made the trek from Makakilo to Diamond Head, where he made many wonderful 
friends. He loved the water, camaraderie, and definitely the lunches after a great beach session. Frank was a great 
friend to many. Relatives, friends, and neighbors could always count on him to lend and ear or helping hand. He always 
seemed to know exactly what to say and do. He would never say 'no' when someone asked him for help, but he might 
ask you to wait a bit if it interfered with surfing. Frank's bright and welcoming smile and joyful disposition made others 
feel comfortable around him and he made new friends wherever he went. Frank will be sorely missed but has blessed 
the lives of many, both family and friends, with love, compassion, support, and joyful memories. Connie and Dionne 
know that Frank is with God, smiling down on all of the lives he touched making sure you were paying attention to his 
life lessons and saying 'God loves you and I love you, but gosh there's no surfing in Heaven!' Celebration of Life Services 
to be held at the Borthwick Mortuary (Maunakea Chapel) on Saturday, Jan. 9th, 9:00am. Private burial services will be 
held on Monday, Jan. 11th, 11:00am at the National Veterans Cemetery in Kaneohe. [Honolulu Star-Advertiser 3
