His life adventures included meeting his wife Diana at Heundefinedeia Elementary school while coaching his volleyball team from Castle High School, he drove for The Bus in Honolulu, alongside his Father, and played Hawaiian music in backyard jams up to concerts alongside the best of them. He fostered children and idealized Hawaiian associations such as Coconut Wireless radio and Huundefinedi Waundefineda O Puget Sound Canoe Club.

Not a stranger to adversity Bobby learned he had a failing heart and kidneys and was blessed with the GIFT OF LIFE from 22-year-old Justin Elzinga, Kennewick, WA who passed January 05, 2017. Through this we were blessed 4+ more years with Bobby in which he was able to see his baby girls Kealiundefinedikaundefinedapuni & Houndefinedikeana come to earth and bless his Ohana with his prolonged presence.
