65, of Kailua, died at home April 7, 2017. He was born in Washington, D.C. on December 12, 1951. He graduated from Punahou Academy in 1969 and was in the third graduating class of Hawaii Loa College (now HPU) in 1973.

He is survived by sister Paula D. Sterling (Wayne Hoolae), nephew John Lawo, nieces Caroline Lawo, Malia, Lilinoe, and Kapua Sterling (Bryson Villarosa), and his many dear friends.
