DIXON YOSHIHIKO MUGIISHI
Dixon Yoshihiko Mugiishi passed away on June 16, 2012 after a beautiful fulfilling lifetime of genuine caring and loving of others. Without fail, he inquired about others first.
Born in Wailuku, Maui, he remained close to his childhood friends and fellow Baldwin graduates with annual reunions and gatherings. He was elected Student Body Vice-President at the University of Hawaii, and he and his UH buddies were inseparable for life. Colleagues and clients that benefited from his career as an award-winning insurance agent at Prudential and Atlas all became his friends, realizing that for Dixon, care always trumped personal gain. He was recognized with Prudential’s McNaughton Award for service to community for volunteerism in such endeavors as the Japanese Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Governor’s Developmental Disability Council. His influence at Iolani School was immense, where over time he chaired the Carnival, sat on the Board of Governors as Chair of the Education Committee, and ultimately became the Raider basketball team’s number #1 fan and most personable and recognizable constant behind the bench.
So many people called him “friend”, and that included his loving family who found his optimistic, friendly, engaging, and caring demeanor ideal for calling him more than just husband or father, but also “true friend.” We will all miss how much his vitality, kindness, and generosity of spirit enriched our lives.
He is survived by his loving wife Doris Mugiishi, sons Kevin Mugiishi and Dr. Mark Mugiishi, and brother Masami Mugiishi.
Services will be held at Nuuanu Memorial Park & Mortuary on Sunday, July 1 at 6 PM with visitation at 5 PM. Attire is casual and the family requests no flowers.

1943- 2012
Mary Mau Lecavelier passed away at home on June 4, 2012. She was predeceased by her husband, Bernard in 2007and she leaves behind six
siblings as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Mary graduated from Maryknoll High School and the University of Hawaii. She garnered a long term job as a computer programmer for the County of Los Angeles.
Eventually, she returned to Hawaii to assist in computerizing Hawaii Tax and Bookkeeping Services. Her mentor was her father, Henry. She delved into the business world and explored real estate ventures in buying and selling conversions and 1031 exchanges.
Having tolerant employers (her mom and dad) and financial stability, she traveled extensively especially to Tahiti where she met her husband, Bernard. She could not say “no” to a man who sailed three weeks in a 13ft boat from Tahiti to be with her.
Bernard’s death in 2007 left a large void. Stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights took its toll as her already weakened heart failed. Through it all she maintained a sense of humor and an impish look in her eye.
A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, June 30 at Nuuanu Memorial Park & Mortuary. Visitation: 4 p.m. and Service: 5 p.m. Aloha attire.
Her ashes will be scattered at a later date.
