On a personal note, Mayor Arakawa said Martin’s presence will be missed as he prepares for his 2013 State of the County Address, an event that was emceed by Luna in both 2011 and 2012.

“It will be impossible not to think of him as we prepare for the event again this year. His presence will be deeply missed. Aloha Martin and God bless,” said Mayor Arakawa.
