State Rep. Gene Ward was a wonderful man that many of us knew well, as he represented Hawaii Kai. He did a great job! Even though he was a busy politician, he always had time for a “hi, Jim” or a wave to his other constituents when he was running for office.
His passing last week, just days after retiring from the Legislature, saddens me because Hawaii lost a fine man and politician that others aspire to be like. I do not know if he has an equal.
Some place in Heaven, there must be a place for great politicians like Gene Ward.
Thank You, Gene.
