Akira "Archie" Hinahara

Archie was a very special man to Aunt Debbie. The joy he brought to her family, and us children who she babysat for, will be cherished forever.

A kind gentleman to remember

Doug and family, So sorry to hear about your fathers passing. He sounds like a truly wonderful Dad and I'm sure you are all better people because of his love and influence. Thinking of you and wishing you peace. Lynn Cannon Larsen

Hi all - "Archie" was my uncle and an early influence on me as he was someone who really understood the value of higher education, as I know he pushed for his own sons to pursue advanced educational opportunities, he and Joan always took time to implore the need for me to go to college which was a great early influence on me. A few memories that I have was he was always a calm influence and smiling and I cherished the times he was around as he brought new experiences like cooking teriyaki steak strips on the grill when I was an early teen, and at that time this was "exotic" and exposed me to knew foods and another was when Archie and Joan brought me and my sister Laurie to Madison to get a UW Madison campus experience and we went to a Lebanese restaurant on State Street, which in the late 1970s that was also not something I would experience until I went to UW Madison myself years later. Archie had a bigger influence on me than I think anyone would have known and I am grateful to have had him in my life. I am sure he will be missed by anyone who met him and his direct and extended family. Mahalo Archie, and Aloha with love Todd
