HAROLD AUKAI NAUMU
Harold Aukai Naumu of Lihue, Kauai, passed away at his home on August 16, 2012 at the age of 82. He was born on July 29, 1930 in Hanapepe, Kauai.
After graduating high school, he met the love of his life Amy Shinagawa, to whom he was married 60 years.
Harold began his career with the local airlines before becoming a councilman for the county of Kauai. After serving two terms, he continued with the county and was appointed by the Mayor to the parks and recreation department from which he retired.
Dedicating his life to the youth and people of Kauai, Harold was one of the original Founders of WESCON Pop Warner Football (which still exists today) that formed in 1972 with the following states: Arizona, California, Nevada and all the Hawaiian Islands. Tony Rizzo, now the last of the original founders of Wescon, says that Harold was the best spokesman for Pop Warner throughout the state of Hawaii although he is most notably remembered for his legendary announcing style at KIF Football games.
