Honoring John Henry Felix For Lifetime Of Giving And Service
John Henry Felix was honored at Hawai‘i State Veterans Cemetery in Kāne‘ohe
Dec. 18 for his long history of philanthropy. At the event, former Gov. John Waihe‘e shared how it was Felix who brought it to his attention that Punchbowl Veterans Cemetery was nearly full, and pushed for a second veterans’ cemetery on O‘ahu. After looking for land that the government could afford and coming up empty- handed, Felix stepped in and gifted the land for the cemetery to the state. “He gave the veterans of Hawai‘i a resting place when they had none,” states Waihe‘e. “Thank you, John Henry.” PHOTOS COURTESY HENRY VILLARREAL
