It was a blessing to attend the funeral service for former Pearl City resident Thomas Tomio Adachi on Friday, August 14 at Hosoi Garden Mortuary in Honolulu, Hawaii. Ann Adachi Lee is the daughter of the late Thomas Tonio Adachi and a classmate from the Pearl City High School Class of 1977.
It was nice to see Ann’s friends and classmates from the PCHS Class of ’77 reunite while helping out and embracing Ann and her family throughout the “Celebration of Life” for her dad.
Former Hoohui Street (Pearl City) friends and neighbors of the Adachi’s also reunited sharing fond memories of growing up together that began as far back as 1959. Mary Villamil and Ann are lifelong friends and will always cherish childhood memories that they hold deep in their hearts. Mary and Ann grew up two doors down from each other on Hoohui Street.
God Bless Uncle as his spirit and soul enters the light of Heaven upon a peaceful, blessed eternity.
