Dear Paula and the Tanaka family,
We met Spike at Mililani Community Church. Spoke to him many times. He modeled the love of Jesus and with his gentle spirit was soft spoken and kind. We miss seeing him, but one day will see him again in glory. May our Lord hold you all together with His unfailing love. God Bless you Paula and family.

Spike was a family man with patience and love. In his quiet way he influenced many from students to friends. He will be missed greatly. Blessings to his family and peace. Aunt Betty
