R.I.P Don Ho

April 15th, 2007 // 2 Comments

My favorite Hawaiian entertainer (okay, he’s the only one I know besides those idiots on Maui Fever) and Tiny Bubbles crooner Don Ho passed away on Saturday, April 14 of heart failure. He was 76.

Ho had suffered with heart problems for the past several years, and had a pacemaker installed last fall. In 2005, he underwent an experimental stem cell procedure on his ailing heart in Thailand.
Promoter Tom Moffatt said he attended Ho’s final show Thursday and Ho received a standing ovation. Afterward, Ho reminisced about his many years in Waikiki and talked about how Judy Garland sang with him one night.
“Don was in great spirits,” he said. “He was fine.”

Our thoughts go out to Ho’s wife Haumea and his 10 children.
