Corrections
Eugene K. Hao, 67, of Keaau, died March 25, 2020. An obituary published Wednesday had an incorrect date of death due to information provided by the mortuary.
An obituary for Henry Aina Sr., which was also published Wednesday, contained an incorrect last name for a suriving daughter, Sandee (John) Aina-Meade of Utah, and omitted his membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Keaukaha Ward due to information provided by the mortuary.
It is the policy of West Hawaii Today correct promptly any misleading or incorrect information when it is brought to the attention of the newspaper.
