"RIP" Mr. Stoessel..."
I read with sadness and dismay in the obituaries that Horace Stoessel had passed away.http://thegardenisland.com/news/local/obituaries/obituaries-for-wednesday-september/article_d9c978cc-022c-11e2-ab74-0019bb2963f4.html
I did not personally know Mr. Stoessell however I would like to acknowledge his many Letters to the editor which frequented the editorial pages of the Kaua'i Garden Island news. Most of
his letters were factual accounts of county government.
Horace made me have a better understanding of many political actions that took place in our local island government.
Whether you agreed or dis-agreed he cared about his community and voiced his opinions many times on how he felt we could better our Cosmic Island. I remember one letter in particular about how the salary commission raised nearly every local politicians salary during the brink and peak of the current economic crisis. The salary increase would immediately take effect unless of course our county council nullified it in whole or part, which never happened since nobody wanted to vote down a salary increase for themselves.http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/letters-for-saturday-february/article_80a44d0e-2c18-5ddc-a4fe-49c1948c2da0.html
Mr Stoessel, I will miss your frequent opinion articles which opened my eyes to many local issues.
From one frequent Letter writer to another, mahalo Nui Loa Mr. Stoessel and may you rest in peace.

Via email;"Kimo, thank you for this letter below, to the editor. I had the privilege of knowing Horace, he was a quiet, methodological thinker, a giant of a man. And as you so wisely observed, whether you agreed or disagreed, he cared about his community and voiced his opinions many times on how he felt we could better our cosmic island.
We must also remember, behind all great men, there is a great woman, and Horace had a great partner in his wife Phyllis, she was always at his side.
Horace, maybe gone in person, but Kauai will always be a better place, because of his presence.
Yes Horace, we will miss you."

Peace and love"
