Aloha braddah kevin, I actually looked you up so that we could maybe jam some ukulele again and maybe get some of your great advice about some life stuff I got going on, anyway, I wanted to say that I apologize for waiting sooo long to re connect, too long apparently, you saved me brother, when I was down and had nothing and nowhere to turn you took me under your wing and made me feel like I was worth something, you taught me things that helped me to understand the work and the world and you did it in a way that a broken local boy like me could understand, digest and replicate. A big part of who I am my friend is because of the aloha you invested in me, I am truly blessed to have met you in my lifetime and I know I will never meet another like you, I will never forget the time you brought me to your house in Nanakuli to work and you knew that I had been down in the dirt for a while and you surprised me and Kat with a case of Heinekens after work and started the grill, you then came outside with your mits and gloves and wanted to see if I could walk the talk with boxing and I remember your surprise and approval after going a couple rounds with the mits, you were truly a champ, and then you brought out the ukulele and we just played and ayes and sang and drank late into the night and you let us sleep over. Your aloha was unmatched and I will forever remember you. I apologize again for waiting so long to express these things but believe me I’ve told others about you and I promise that a part of you lives through me and what I e become and accomplished. Your memory will live on through me my friend. I will see you on the other side champ. I’ve been losing a lot of people lately but this one hurts different.Fly easy, rest well brother Kevin Rabago. Your friend Giovanni Navarro
