Condolences to the family and friends of Earl. I am 60% sure that this is our 1963 McKinley HS classmate, an Esquire (boys club from Nuuanu YMCA) a resident of Kunawai Lane and a Police Officer. We the "boys" from the Esquires would like to honor Earl by attending his memorial service. Milt Nitta, classmate, fellow Esquire, Kunawai Lane neighbor, and his substitute newspaper-boy.

I am trying to find out if this is the Earl Hirai that worked with me at the Honolulu Police Department. He also has many friends that would like to know about him.
