OWEN SOY HUNG LOUI Owen Soy Hung Loui, 103, passed away on August 3, 2014. He was born on May 5, 1911 in Honolulu, to Koon Chan and Leong Shee Loui, the sixth of nine children.

Foregoing college to help his family, he worked as a bookkeeper, then accountant for 19 years, gaining experience at Young, Lamberton and Pearson, CPAs. In 1946, while taking a CPA review course in New York, he met his future wife, Marjorie, a Columbia U graduate student from Sacramento, CA. He opened his own accounting firm, Owen Loui and Co., CPAs in 1948. He was elected president of the Hawaii Society of CPAs in 1966-1967. He and Marjorie had 6 children and were married for 50 years.

He also coached in the Kahala Little League. As a teenager he started caddying at Waialae Golf Course when it opened in 1927, joined the Longwood Golf Club, and was an Ala Wai Golf Course regular. Playing golf almost daily into his 90's, he walked the course and carried his golf bag. It was his favorite pastime. He was an avid reader and enjoyed working in his yard.
