[Adv 5/9/2002] Ernest Watanabe, who earned the nickname, "the rose king of Hawaii," often donated flowers to various charities and hospitals to lift patron's spirits, said his son Russell Watanabe. "It gave him great satisfaction and great pleasure to serve the community that way." Watanabe, the largest flower wholesaler and rose grower in the state, died in his Aiea home yesterday morning July 28, 2002. He was 91. For years, Watanabe Floral Inc. has supplied many florists, hotels and organizations with flowers. "He got into the flower business because he understood flowers helped people express their feelings," Russell Watanabe said. "Customers of ours will remember him as one who loves to be out there and see customers satisfied." Watanabe was born on June 10, 1911, in Maui. He attended McKinley High School and later the University of Hawaii at Manoa, obtaining a master's degree in chemistry. He had a deep love for classical music. He displayed his passion as a violinist for the Honolulu Symphony. Russell Watanabe recalled how his father would wake up the children by blasting Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto. He was an honest man who had great faith in God, he said. Watanabe was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. From 1982 to 1984, he and his wife served in a temple mission in Japan. Russell Watanabe further described his father as "determined," adding, "Even when the odds were very, very long, or seemed hopeless, he never gave up." After World War II, Watanabe and his wife, Shizue, began growing roses on Bishop Estate land in Koko Head. His daughter, Louise Davis, described her father as a definitive person who was "willing to work and make things happen. "He set goals and attained those goals. For us, he was always a great example." Though he was an industrious man, Watanabe always set aside time for his family. "He was quite a remarkable person," Davis said. Watanabe is survived by his wife, Shizue; sons Wesley, Russell and Leland; daughters Joann Watanabe, Susan Watanabe and Louise Davis of Portland, Ore.; 16 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.

Charles Wyndham Watson - Visitors to Ala Moana Center may be more struck by his light-hearted heavyweight sculptures of animals than by the fact that he built the center itself. His Dune Circle neighbors may recall not only complaining about the long nights when he noisily pursued art hammer and tong in his backyard, but that he fired a rifle into the air the night he moved away to a Lanikai hillside studio to make sure the folks in the neighborhood remembered him. Charles Wyndham Watson, former president of Hawaiian Dredging and Construction Co. who pursued a second career as a sculptor, died Saturday April 20, 2002 in Kane'ohe at the age of 86. He was, like his 1.5-scale sculptures of Hawaiian heroes, larger than life. His small pieces, such as the net mender at the fountain at the top of Kapi'olani Boulevard, the leaping porpoises at Sea Life Park, the giraffe at Ala Moana Center, the man with an o'o on Kapahulu Avenue, and his Hawaiian helmets at the entry to the Halekulani Hotel, are part of the daily texture of Hawai'i life. His larger works are also even more familiar: Ala Moana Center, Aloha Stadium, the reef runway at the airport, and Pier 2. A real-life rags-to-riches Horatio Alger, Watson was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 30, 1915, and moved to California with his father early in life to operate a moonshine still in Horse Thief Canyon, hauling grain in and booze out in a Stutz Bearcat car to help slake the thirst of Los Angeles, said his son Kerry. After working as an apprentice carpenter during the Depression, "Tiger" Watson won the California Welterweight Boxing Championship in 1939 and remained undefeated as a prize fighter in aircraft carrier boxing matches during World War II. He studied engineering briefly at Santa Monica City College, but had little other formal training when he came to Hawai'i after the war as a manager for McNeil Construction, then moved to Hawaiian Dredging in 1950 as a general superintendent. He retired from the company in 1980 While studying the original Byodo-In Temple in Japan in preparation for duplicating it in concrete at Valley of the Temples, Watson became a lifelong friend of Japanese sculptor Isamu Noguchi. He seemed like an American Zorba, a man who "tried to teach us that excellence and achievement were attainable if we would only persevere," Kerry Watson said last night. In addition to his son Kerry, of Colorado, Watson is survived by his wife, Poni, of Lanikai; his other son, Mark of Lanikai; daughters Cathi Sanders of Honolulu and Wendy Erickson of Kailua; and seven grandchildren. The family will hold private services, followed by release of helium balloons bearing not only his ashes but pictures of his grandchildren. [Adv 22/4/2002]

Charles Wyndham Watson did a lot of hammering and pounding on metal and stone. The former president of the Hawaiian Dredging and Construction Co. helped build the Ala Moana Center, the Ilikai Hotel, the Aloha Stadium, the reef runway and other landmark structures. As a sculptor, he decorated the islands with dozens of pieces, ranging from the dolphins adorning Sea Life Park to the helmets at Halekulani, that paid tribute to Hawaiian culture. Watson died of congestive heart failure in Kaneohe on Saturday April 20, 2002. He was 86. His youngest daughter, Wendy Erickson of Kailua, described him as "a real working man who got down in the trenches with his workers, someone who knew their names and hung out with them after work. He didn't sit in an ivory tower." "He worked his way up from a ditch digger to be president of one of the largest construction companies," Erickson said. "Yet he was so creative and put so much into this island. ... He loved Hawaii." Born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, Watson spent his youth in Los Angeles, worked as an apprentice carpenter during the Depression and won the California Welterweight Boxing championship in 1939. He studied engineering briefly in Santa Monica and came to Hawaii after serving in World War II to manage McNeil Construction in 1946. He joined Hawaiian Dredging in 1950 as a general superintendent and retired from the company in 1980. Millie Lee, his secretary for 20 years, said he had a good heart beneath his gruff exterior. "Everybody respected him," she said. "He recognized people for their hard work and rewarded them. ... Working for him was a pleasure." Erickson said her father would work on his sculptures at their home in Dune Circle, Kailua, in spite of complaints from the neighbors about all "the hammering and pounding." He moved his family out of the district when his neighbors voted to close the public's right of way to the beach. "He said the beaches belonged to everybody, Hawaii was meant for everyone," Erickson said. The sculptures he built after he retired were dedicated to symbols of the Hawaiian culture, she said, such as the fisherman with his net at the top of Kapiolani Boulevard, and the pueo (owls) at the American Cancer society. But sometimes he would take the giant gears, crankshafts and other scrap metal from construction sites and turn them into sculptures, testament to a man who was as much a contradiction as the "Ferdinand the Bull" character in one of his favorite children's books, Erickson said. "Ferdinand was this tough bull who didn't want to be in a bullfight; he wanted to smell the flowers," she said. "My father was a real fighter, but all he wanted to do was lie on the hillside and smell the flowers, look at the clouds and build his sculptures where no one could hear him and complain." Several of his works grace their 3-acre home on a hillside in Lanikai, dubbed "Puu O Kale," which means "Charles' hill," Erickson said. From that site the family will hold private services and release a red helium-filled balloon because "The Red Balloon" was another favorite story that he read to his children. Erickson said the balloon will contain a love letter from his grandchildren and a bit of his ashes. The rest of the ashes will be scattered around the sculptures on top of the hillside, she said. Watson is also survived by his wife, Poni, of Lanikai, sons Kerry of Colorado and Mark of Lanikai, daughter Cathi Sanders of Honolulu and seven grandchildren. [SB 23/4/2002]

Following the war, Wong returned to Hawai'i and began a long and successful career in insurance and estate planning.

Nee Chang “N.C.” Chock Wong - Retired teacher Nee Chang "N.C." Chock Wong of Honolulu loved teaching children even when she wasn't at school, and she contributed to their education throughout her life by donating thousands of dollars to scholarships and foundations. She died Jan. 17 at the age of 93 at the Hale Ola Kino Center. Her niece, Evelyn Mun of Nuuanu, said Wong "never had any children, but she treated her nieces and nephews (a few dozen) like her children." "She was always thinking of us. She would teach us piano, ukulele and singing. She would help us with our schoolwork," she said. "Her students loved her so much that many of them decided they would go into teaching. She loved music" and sang Hawaiian songs with a group of women called "the Golden Serenaders," Mun said. She said they were invited by Liberty House to sing in the stores at Christmas for several years. "Even at Hale Ola (nursing home) she would strum her ukulele and get those people to sing with her. Her favorite song was 'Hanohano Hanalei' because she was born in Hanalei," Mun said. Wong and her husband, Harry C. Wong, who died in 1990, established a foundation for study abroad scholarships in 1984 at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. In 1987, they established the Nee Chang and Harry C. Audiovisual Center at the UH's Sinclair Library, the most heavily used part of the library, according to Linda Engelberg, the center's librarian. Engelberg, who a dozen years ago first met the Wongs -- "they were the sweetest couple" -- said they have no idea "of the impact of their gift on this campus." Due to their contributions over the years, the library was able to establish a center "ahead of its time." "We've always been able to keep it technologically current and well-equipped," she said. "We've never had to go without due to their generosity. ... It is one of the largest collections in the country." The center has been praised repeatedly by faculty and students who have commented, "It's the best part of the campus" and that the center has "profound value for my teaching," according to Engelberg. The Wongs established a foundation in 1967 to provide scholarships at St. Anthony's Senior and Junior High School on Maui, and contributed $260,000 in the past three years for the creation of a computer lab, computers and audio- visual equipment there. Harry Wong was an alumnus there. Principal Daina Collins said: "We now have over 200 computers and four computer labs. They have been very, very generous to this school." The Wongs also made substantial donations to Aliiolani School, where she served as a teacher for many years, and the First Chinese Church at 1054 S. King St., where services will be held 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Inurnment will be held 12:45 p.m. at Nuuanu Memorial Park.

[Adv 13/10/2002] Terry Chen Yi Wong - Endocrinologist Terry Chen Yi Wong, a physician who kept magic tricks in his pocket and was such a good inventor of tricks that orders came from all over the world, died Oct. 28, 2002 at the age of 64. Wong was born in Honolulu, educated at Johns Hopkins University, trained at The Mayo Clinic, and had been in practice at Queen's Medical Center since 1973. He specialized in adult diabetes. Of Wong's four children, three have gone into medicine, with his eldest daughter, Dr. Lisa Wong Samtani, continuing his work in endocrinology at Queen's. They were in practice together at his death. His third daughter, Lara Dao, is a medical resident at Kaiser Oakland, practicing under the name of Lara Wong; his son, Jeffrey, is a fourth-year medical student at the John A. Burns School of Medicine. His second daughter, Kristina, works for Cisco Systems in Santa Clara, Calif. Quiet and unassuming, Wong had a hidden side to his personality that few in his professional medical circles realized. An amateur magician from childhood, he had a life-long fascination with magic, studied its history and was a gifted inventor. He manufactured and sold magic tricks to dealers throughout the country, and collected old magic apparatus that he scattered about the house, and constantly tinkered with. His wife said he always carried a trick in his pocket "just in case the opportunity to perform ever arose." Additionally, Wong wrote poetry, and excelled as a photographer, once staging a one-man show at the Rochester Art Gallery in Rochester, Minn., while a fellow at The Mayo Clinic. "He was a true Renaissance man," said Dr. Irving Schatz, chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine at the John A. Burns School of Medicine where Wong was also a faculty member. For a number of years Wong was among the annual "Best Doctors" selected by Honolulu Magazine, but he downplayed the attention because he said there were many excellent doctors not on the list. The first year he wouldn't let his wife order a Best Doctors plaque, but after that she did it anyway, without asking him. Wong is survived by his wife, Kathleen; his four children; his brother, Ronald, and his sister, Jean. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at Thurston Memorial Chapel at Punahou School, which he attended from kindergarten through high school. Visitation is from 12:30 to 2 p.m. The family requests aloha attire and no flowers. Arrangements are by Diamond Head Mortuary. [Adv 05/11/2002]

[Adv 13/01/2003] Walter Koon Jick Wong- Hawaii prep basketball lost one of its most consistent winners Wednesday. Walter Wong, who participated in 75 high school championship games as a player and a coach, died Wednesday Aug 7, 2002 at Castle Medical Center. He was 90 years old. After becoming the first player to win three straight territorial championships as a player, Wong turned to coaching and became the first to win three straight state tournaments. Wong won three straight territorial titles playing for McKinley, then taught hundreds of young men to equal his accomplishments. Duke Aiona, who played for Wong in his last state finals -- A loss to Kailua in 1972 -- was just one of them. "He was competitive to the end, he stressed the fundamentals and pushed you to the limit," Aiona said. "It definitely helped make me who I am and shaped how I live life. If I don't succeed, at least I tried my best. That's Mr. Wong." Wong served St. Louis for 34 years as a coach and athletic director, winning five state championships and 18 tournament championships. As a coach, Wong went 409-87, winning 89 consecutive games between 1966 and 1968, when he became the only coach to put together three straight state championships. Wong is survived by daughter Sheila Flynn and sons Walter, Melvin and Jonathan. Services are Friday at Hawaiian Memorial Park Mortuary at 12:30 p.m. with burial to follow at 2 p.m. [SB 11/8/2002]

Hal Wood - Returning to the office one day from covering the Hawaiian Open, Hal Wood lowered his voice and, in a mock conspiratorial tone, told his staff, "Don't tell anybody, but writing about sports in Hawai'i has to be the best job in journalism." In a newspaper and wire service career that spanned 57 years and much of the globe, Wood covered it all — the birth of the United Nations, 20 Rose Bowls, six Olympiads, several Super Bowls, World Series and championship fights — but he would call his 12 years as sports editor of The Honolulu Advertiser, "the happiest of my life." Wood, who died yesterday Jan 19, 2002 in Medford, Ore., at age 92, brought a worldwide perspective, a keen competitive edge and a polished enthusiasm to The Advertiser's sports pages as the paper's sports editor and lead columnist between 1965 and 1976. "He was one of the best in the business, no question about it," said former Honolulu Mayor Frank Fasi. "I didn't always agree with him and he didn't always agree with me, but he told it as it was and I appreciated that." Wood's seat on press row at the Honolulu International Center, as the Blaisdell Center was called in the 1970s, was adjacent to the mayor's courtside seats. "I'd give it to him and he'd give it right back," Fasi recalled. Wood saw a potential for sports here shared by few others. He was a strong backer of then-Gov. John Burns' vision for a 50,000-seat stadium in Halawa and a Division I University of Hawai'i football program to put in it. He was an ardent supporter of sports-based tourism through the Hawaiian Open and the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. "He was a dear friend to me and the university," said Paul Durham, a former UH athletic director. Under his leadership and with Wood often pitching in to do some of the legwork, The Advertiser broke several major stories, including the scandal that led to the Rainbows being put on NCAA probation in 1977. "He was very meticulous, very thorough and it was fun being a rival with him all those years," said Bill Kwon who was a columnist and sports editor for the Star-Bulletin at the time. George Chaplin, the editor who hired him, said Wood, "brought a national and international view to our pages." Yet, Kwon said, "he never skimped on the local coverage or the high schools, either." "He was the complete newspaperman, a real pro who could do it all," said Ferd Borsch, The Advertiser's baseball writer for 40 years. "All of us felt very fortunate to work for somebody that talented and compassionate." "What will always stay with me was his work ethic," said Clyde Mizumoto, an Advertiser assistant sports editor who was hired by Wood. "People thought all he did was write a column, but he did a lot more than that — he'd clear the wires, take care of administrative duties and, on top of that, write a daily column. I thought he set a good example for the new guys coming in." Wood also mentored young writers. "He was my coach, so to speak, teaching me the ropes in sports," said Gordon Sakamoto who was a writer with United Press International in San Francisco before later becoming bureau chief for UPI and the Associated Press in Honolulu. Wood's byline was familiar to Advertiser readers even before he came to the paper through his 20 years with United Press International, 16 as Pacific Division sports editor. He gained notoriety in 1962 as the only writer to predict before the start of the baseball season that the Dodgers and Giants would finish in a tie for the National League title. Wood also worked at newspapers in North Dakota, Idaho and San Diego. He was born into a newspaper family in Hamilton, N.D., beginning what would become a life- long career in journalism at his father's newspaper in Neche, N.D. As a freshly minted high school graduate in 1932, he talked his way into the press box at the Los Angeles Olympics as a correspondent for the family paper and never looked back. "He was an outstanding sports editor, the best we've seen the last few decades," said Peter Fithian, founder of the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. "He brought tremendous knowledge and enthusiasm to the paper," said sportscaster Les Keiter. Wood is survived by four daughters, Melissa Wood of Medford, Ore., Sharon Lindsay of Ashland, Ore., Romana Wood of Vancouver, Wash., and Laura Horton of Santa Rosa, Calif., five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Services are pending. [Adv 20/1/2002]

[Adv 26/9/2002] Jack Wyatt gave up his long pants, button-down shirts, bow ties, dress shoes, crewcut and full-time sales job about 30 years ago for a simpler lifestyle, reflected in the red, white or yellow tanktops, shorts, and slippers or athletic shoes sans socks that became his standard wardrobe. Tanned, healthy and looking much younger than his 71 years, Wyatt took long daily walks and was a man many Manoa residents saw regularly but few knew. He was killed Tuesday June 18, 2002 in a random act of violence while walking alongside the Ala Wai Canal when he was shoved into the canal, hit his head on rocks and drowned. "I will remember him, not by the way he died, but by the way he lived," said Connie Comiso-Fanelli, a Manoa resident and longtime running friend of Wyatt. "He decided (at a point in his life) not to have a phone, car or TV and just enjoy life simply. "He ate fresh fruits and went for walks," she added. "He was a free-spirited, happy man who did not want to be caught up with the crazy things in life. I've never heard him say a negative word about anyone." Wyatt, a free-lance writer, was a regular contributor to the Ho-nolulu Star-Bulletin's sports section from the late 1960s to 1998. He wrote a weekly yachting column called "Nautical Notes" during his "bow-tie" days. After adopting his new lifestyle following a divorce, Wyatt became a champion of minor sports. He accepted assignments no one else wanted. He was also known to be always for the underdog and would cover anything he could walk or ride his bicycle to. Those back-page stories in the early years of running and canoe racing meant a lot to people like Comiso-Fanelli, who first met Wyatt in 1978 at the Hilo Marathon. "Jack was a very private person," Comiso-Fanelli said. "He had a past and wanted it to remain in the past. "For me, he was like a father figure," she added. "He brought a lot of sunshine and brightness into the lives of a lot of people, in and outside of the local running community." A native of Portland, Ore., Wyatt came to Hawai'i in 1957 and became a member of the Kaneohe Yacht Club. He had four daughters — Christine, who lives in Alaska; Cheryl Ferreira, an O'ahu resident, and Jackie Greene and Jonnel Wyatt of Maui — but did not maintain close ties with them. "He was never one to keep in touch and being on Maui, I haven't seen him for a while," said Jonnel Wyatt, the youngest daughter. "He was not like a father figure for me, but I did get to know him. My friend and I sometimes stayed with him. He was a good guy, free-spirited and an avid tennis player." Comiso-Fanelli last saw Wyatt at about 8:30 a.m. on Sunday while running alongside the Ala Wai Canal. "He was like clockwork with his routine," she said. "For us in the running community, his death makes us aware that we need to be alert of what is around us at all times and know how to protect ourselves." Services for Wyatt are pending.

Janet Wyatt, an educator and longtime supporter of the arts in Hawai'i, died March 13. She was 84. Wyatt was born Janet Mae Wullschleger in Albany, N.Y., on March 12, 1918. In the seventh grade, she met Arthur Wyatt and the two would marry in 1942. Janet Wyatt studied English and education at State University of New York, where she also earned a master's degree in library science. Her husband became a physician and in 1945 was assigned to Schofield Barracks on O'ahu. After the war, the Wyatts moved to Iowa, but returned to Honolulu in 1947 to reside permanently. Dr. Wyatt became a partner at the Honolulu Medical Group and Janet Wyatt volunteered with the Junior League and Girl Scouts and taught English at the University of Hawai'i. While teaching at the university, Wyatt became interested in improving education in kindergarten through the 12th grade. She was named chairwoman of the first Hawai'i School Advisory Board and in 1966 became principal of the small private school Honolulu Junior Academy, now known as the Academy of the Pacific. Wyatt remained at the school until her retirement in 1975. In retirement, she returned to her early love of art, particularly watercolors. In recognition of Wyatt's dedication to Academy of the Pacific, the school voted in January to name its art building after her. A brief dedication and blessing ceremony will be held at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Academy of the Pacific, 913 'Alewa Drive. Donations may be made to the Janet and Art Wyatt Scholarship Fund. Janet Wyatt is survived by her children, Janine, Nancy, Patricia, Christine and Thomas; eight grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. [Adv 21/3/2002]
