Oh, indeed. RIP, thanks thanks thanks for your lifetime of work! The world is so much better for it. Another treasure gone. A hui hou.

Sad news indeed. He led a long, productive and fulfilling life - and those of us who love Hawaiian music are the more fortunate for all his efforts. Our sympathies go out to Flip, Cindy & all the Hula Records `ohana.
