Re: YES vote on Bill No. 99
To whom it may concern:
We are submitting this communique in support of Bill No. 99, naming the Honoka'a
Sports Complex lower baseball field after Mr. Lala Epenesa,Jr.
We have known Lala for over thirty years and have entrusted our sons, a 28 and 32 yro,
to his guidance in sports and the inherent values of teamwork. My wife and I feel very
privileged to have had someone with Lala's character to have provided such a positive
influence on our sons' young lives.
Mr. Epenesa has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility and
character. His knowledge of sports and more importantly,the ability to "teach"the
values of teamwork has made him successful in the field of coaching. He is a positive
role model and has had a tremendous influence on scores of young adults fortunate to
have "Coach Lala" in their corner. Naming the lower ball field in his honor would be a
fitting tribute for one who has sacrificed so much of his time to ensure sportsmanship
and teamwork in Hamakua's youth and young adults. A humble man that taught our
kids to get over mistakes on the field of play by saying-"no say sorry;just fix it".
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Steve A. Morifuji
