Aloha. My name is Michael Turman. A long time friend of Paul Uyehara. Paul has been a close friend to many in Hawaii through his career in IT, Baseballl Officiating, and Golf.

Sadly, during Paul's last Hawaii State Baseball tournament (he had announced his retirement from baseball with this being his last year) he suffered a catastrophic stroke rendering him comatose. We are happy to know that his family was with him when he succumbed in peace on the island of Maui.

Words are not enough to express the profound loss so many of us feel, nor can they compare to the loss his family feels.

Durign this time, those of us especially close to him feel it both appropriate and necessary to help his family through this crisis in some small way via a contribution to help off-set their expenses during this difficult time.

If you knew him, you would understand...If you love Hawaii baseball, and his passion to serve the youth of Hawaii as an umpire, you would understand. If you love golf, you would understand.

Simply stated, Paul was a great family man and a great friend who will be missed by many. We hope you can help us help his family through a donation of any amount.

All proceeds are assured to be released to his wife directly.

Mahalo for your kindness.
