Brother-in-Law Frank:
Give Charlie, Paul and Connie a big KISS for me. I love and miss all of you but am glad that you're all together now.

I remember all the good things he did and seeing him drive his colorful Mayors Bus (VW Van) around Honolulu. Rest in Peace Sir, you will surely be missed.

Aloha Francisco, There never will be another like you. The Don Quixote of Hawaii. Tough as nails, sharp as a tack. Every one will miss you. Enjoyed our many discussions at coffee each morning. Mahalo for all you have done. Your Pal, Jack Sullivan

My deepest condolences to Joyce and the children...few contributors to the
colorful story of Hawaii in modern times come close to the excitement,
love and sheer joy of serving the
good folks of Honolulu as Frank. He
gave Hawaii his full measure and
is indelibly etched in island history
as a relentless sunshine warrior who
made us all a little bit better just
by knowing him.
Aloha ahui hou,Frank,

Frank'

My condolences to the Fasi family. I will always remember his passion as Mayor. God be with you all at this time of sorrow.

To the Family of Frank Fasi,

I would like to express my deep sorrow for the loss of your dear loved one.I found the following thought at Psalms 34:18 to be of great comfort. It reads "God is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves".

I hope this scripture bring the family and friends a measure of peace.

Grant Family

Our prayers go out to the Fasi family, I would like to express our condolences at this time to your family, I have found the bible to be a source of encouragement; the scripture I would like to share with you is from Revelation 21: 4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Lived in the islands from 1990 to 1998. All the years I lived there all I heard was Fasi and Fasi and the Ohana love that he gave us. I am in mainland now, but my heart and my thoughts still are in the islands forever. My sadness goes to the Fasi family.

Dear Joyce, Gina & family
Never forget the first time I met Frank at your home...one of my first encounters with an italian and the warmth and hospitality familiar to me from my italian family in ny...he treated me like part of the family and i'll always remember his incredible concern, dedication & passion for Honolulu and the people of Hawaii..My prayers and thoughts with you..You've always been a loving and gracious part of my Honolulu family...love Cristina

To Mayor Fasi- You will be missed and always remembered. My condolences to my Fasi Ohana.. I love you all!

Prayers and thoughts for all the Fasi Ohana.

Aloha Mayor Frank,

You made a major difference in "Our Honolulu" Big Mahalo for all you achieved and contributed, Hawaii is a better place because of you and your efforts. You set the standard for other politicians to follow.

I have known Frank Fasi for 40 years and he will be missed very much. My sincere condolences to the Fasi Family especially his lovely wife.

Hawaii has lost an outstanding leader. Thank you Mr. Fasi and may your name live forever. I served in the Marines 72-74, and The State Prison 76-82. Retired Immigration Enforcement Agent DHS. [email protected]

Aloha and Mahalo Mr.Mayor.

Sincere condolences to the family!
As you grieve your loved one, may God's promise to swallow up death forever console you. Isa 25:8,9

TO JOYA AND FASI FAMILY VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS OF YOUR DAD AND UNCLE CHARLIE.

My first trip to Hawaii was in 1974. My Auntie absolutely loved the Mayor. She was a great judge of people. Our condolences to the Family. Henry & Joe, WGS

WE ARE SENDING OUR LOVE,PRAYERS,&CONDOLENCES TO THE FASI FAMILY,&ALL WHO KNEW MR. FASI.

I served at Schofield Barrack from 1972 to 1976. Part of that time I was the Assistant Public Affairs Officer for the 25th Infantry Division. We interfaced with the City on Parades, troop support of events and information boothes at various city functions. Always found the Mayor's Office friendly and helpful which reflects possitively on the Mayor himself. It is sad to hear of Frank's passing. My condolences and prayers to his family.

My condolences to the Fasi family. I hope you're able to allow the Bible's wonderful promises for the future to bring you comfort in the days ahead.

I served in the military (1976-1979)at Schofield Bks, one of the greatest moments in my life was meeting Mayor Fasi. He once held my 4 year old daughter and gave her a peck on the cheek. During parades and other events he always went out of his way to say hello to my wife and I and he never failed to give my daughter a little kiss. She is now 38 with 3 children of her own and still fondly remembers Mayor Fasi. Our prayers are with the Fasi family.

My heartfelt condolences to the Fasi Family. Mayor Frank Fasi was always concerned about the "little guy" and always tried to make life better for Honolulu. He also appreciated anyone who volunteered with city activities and created a " "Good Guy's Award".
Enjoy the many good memories you have of him. He was truly a special person!

Me ke aloha pumehana.

God Bless you and your family Mayor Fasi! You are remembered with love, honor and respect. From an island girl who graduated in 1985 Honokaa High School

I lived on Oahu during a couple of Mayor Fasi's terms. What an icon. Rest in Peace.

Rest in peace Mayor Fasi. You were a true legend & loved by many people in the Island.

Dear family of Frank I am so sorry for your lost, let me share a scripture with you at James 4:8 were it says draw close to god and he will draw close to you.

Well I've never met Frank but I was so impressed reading all about Frank on the Honolulu Advertiser. What a guy! I've had the distinct pleasure of knowing Gioia in Palo Alto, Ca and what a joy it's been having her in yoga classes these past few years. My prayers go out to all the family. Peace, Johnny Gonsoulin - East Palo Alto, Ca

May "the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort," ease the pain of losing him. We offer our condolences.

It has been many years since Frank and I schooled together at Weaver High School.. Four years together and a friendship we both enjoyed during this period of time of our life. Too bad that since our graduating in 1938 our lives have gone different paths. Memories of him live on forever.

Aloha and MAHALO Mr.Mayor.You were loved by many.

Rest in peace.

God Bless you Frank, you were a good Mayor. I lived in Honolulu 1967-1969,

My condolences to the whole Fasi family. Frank Fasi was a part of my life growing up and living on Oahu for over 40 years. The first time I met him was when I was only a second grade student at Makakilo Elementary (way back in the late 1960's) and he came to our school for a visit. I'll always remember that. I think my fondest memories are of him giving the "Shaka Sign" and flashing that wonderful smile of his. He was one of a kind! His legacy will live one in Hawaii as well as many other places. God Bless the Fasi familly. With much Aloha,
Kathleen Lyden (Salem, CT---formerly of Makakilo, Hawaii)

I moved from New York City to Honolulu in 1974 and I always looked at Mr. Fasi as a great leader. To me he brought Hawaii into the 20th century, with all he did. He was a man one could talk to and he would listen. Our condolences to his wife and family. Please remember he is only a thought away.

This is sad news. My deepest sympathy to Mr. Fasi's family. My mom (who passed last Tuesday) and I were Fasi fans and voted for him for governor of Hawaii when we lived there. He was a fireball; we loved him. He's stirring things up in Heaven right now, would be my guess.

My thoughts are with you and the family and how painful it is to lose your loved one. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May God's love and blessings be with you at this time of sorrow.
"For this is the will of my Father, that everyone that beholds the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him at the last day." John 6:40

I lived on Oahu for 19 years, and Frank Fasi was a part of island life every day I was there. My condolences to his family.

My family and I lived on Oahu and Kauai from 1967-92. My son, Philip, was born there and graduated from UH. When Mr. Fasi was running for office one time-my son(about 4yrs old) asked me to vote for him. I asked why? He took his little hand and moved his hair to the side and said,"I like his hair". Frank Fasi WAS a man of the people and yes, we always voted for him. Sincere loving and thankful thoughts from our family to yours.

My sincere condolences to the family of Frank Fasi.Frank did so much for the people of Honolulu.He will be missed. My prayers are with you.

What a loss for Hawaii. Mr Fasi did a lot for the state and especially for the senior citizens. Deepest condolences.

Dear Uncle Frank,
Thank you for everything you did for us. I know all your battles were hard won; the right thing to do is rarely the easy thing to do.
You will be sorely missed, and I wish peace and love to your family in this very heartwrenching time.
God Bless you and yours, and please know that you will live forever in the legacies you have perpetuated.
Very fond Aloha,

To the the family of Frank Fasi - May God give you peace and comfort through his word and the Lord Jesus Christ during this time of sorrow,I know that Frank will be missed by many.

I will always remember Mayor Fasi, as the peoples Mayor. Kenneth L Sherman, Las Vegas, Nv

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Frank Fasi. I had the privedge of knowing and growing up with Frank while living in Hartford, Ct. My prayers are with Frank and his family.

I had the privilege of meeting Mayor Fasi in 1974 when I informally escorted the mayor of a major city in New Zealand to his office in Honolulu. After shaking hands, and smiling broadly, Frank Fasi said to the New Zealand mayor, "You're visiting the best county in the world, you're in the best state, in the best city, and you're speaking with the best mayor". This was Mayor Fasi...colorful, down-to-earth, and doing what he did best to welcome visitors to his beloved Hawaii. Frank Fasi's political style was from another era, but he was genuine and effective. Frank Fasi loved Hawaii and the United States, and was a great ambassador for both.

Frank was colorful, down to earth, and a genuine asset to Hawaii. I wish we had more politicians like Frank Fasi. He loved this country and he showed it.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Memories of good times and the love of family and friends will encourage you in the days and months ahead. May the scriptures comfort you and give you hope and strength. Psalm 34:18 - "God is near to those that are broken-hearted; and to those that are crushed in spirit he saves. You are in my prayers.

Our deepest condolences to the Fasi Family. As past residents of Honolulu after living there for 35 years, we miss the warmth of the people of Hawaii and especially the surprise encounters with Frank. He always called us by name, was constantly smiling and very upbeat. Hawaii has truly lost a son of Aloha.
