Joseph retired from the Maui Electric Company on Jan. 29, 1999 after 35 years of service. He was also a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical workers union (I.B.E.W) for 50 years. He enjoyed spending time with his Ohana & animals, going home to Hāna, but would rather be on the ocean or the shoreline for some “Holoholo” action. He would often be seen at Kapueokahi Beach Park (Hāna Bay) on the wharf or Kahului Harbor. When not out at his usual “spots,” you could find him at home working on an ‘upena (throw net). Though he would be greatly missed, his legacy as a provider to his family will continue through each ‘upena created by him.
