Kosasa, Sidney S. (1919-2006), the founder of the famous Honolulu-based ABC Stores chain, died at his home on Friday. He was 86. "He was sleeping and died peacefully," said son Paul Kosasa, who is president of ABC Stores. "There was no pain, no suffering. ... He slipped away." Private services were held yesterday afternoon. The family is requesting no flowers, but condolences may be sent to the company's headquarters. Born in December 1919 in Palolo Valley, Kosasa was the son of first-generation Japanese immigrants. His experiences in retail began early, when he worked for his parents' grocery store, M. Kosasa Grocery and Butcher, on 10th Avenue in Palolo. The McKinley High School graduate would go on to the University of California at Berkeley to receive a pharmacist's degree. But World War II intervened, and Kosasa was sent to Tule Lake Internment Camp in northern California under Executive Order 9066. The camp was where he met and married his wife, Minnie. He was able to get out of camp in 1943 to work as a pharmacist at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. After gaining one year of experience, he returned to Hawaii to work in the Benson Smith Drug Store, where he worked his way up to store manager. In 1949, Kosasa and his wife decided to open their own drug store on Waialae Avenue in Kaimuki, known later as Thrifty Drugs, which over 10 years grew to four locations. Kosasa also operated the pharmacies inside three GEM Discount department stores, where he would learn the ins and outs of the discount business. It was while attending a convention in Miami Beach, Fla., and observing the hustle and bustle of tourists at large hotels there that Kosasa was struck with the inspiration for ABC Stores. He knew Waikiki would one day be as busy as Miami Beach. So he returned to Hawaii, scoped out a 700-square-foot space on Kalakaua Avenue, and launched the first ABC Store in 1964. Today, ABC Stores are ubiquitous in Waikiki, filling a niche as an all-purpose convenience shop catering to tourists. There are 55 ABC Stores in Hawaii, eight in Guam, two in Saipan and six in Las Vegas. Parent company MNS Ltd. also owns Hawaiian Casuals gift shop in Waikiki, and will partner with Big Island supermarket chain KTA Superstores next year to launch Island Gourmet Markets in Waikoloa. Kosasa's accomplishments are numerous: He was named the first retailer of the year in 1985 by the Retail Merchants of Hawaii, an honor later bestowed on son Paul in 2003. He was actively involved in the business community, as past president and a life member of the Retail Merchants

of Hawaii, president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, president of the Hawaii Retail Druggists' Association and president of Kuakini Health System. Kosasa also served on the boards of Island Insurance Co., Central Pacific Bank, Hawaii Visitors Bureau, Kaimuki Youth and the Oahu Council of the Boy Scouts of America. More important, he created a new business model by giving employees -- whom he called associates -- a profit-sharing plan in which a significant share of earnings is contributed by the company each year. To foster team spirit, the management meets with about 1,000 associates three times a year over a family-style dinner. Paul Kosasa described his father as very progressive and caring of the employees. "In the company, we never had to lay off anybody," he said. "That's one of his proudest accomplishments from a business standpoint." Up to his last days, Kosasa would visit various ABC Stores to hang out, including the one near the Centerstage area of Ala Moana Center, which is the newest concept store. His greatest passion outside of the store was golf. He played in the Pro Am, later known as the Sony Open, and made it his favorite pastime. "He set a good example," said Paul Kosasa. "He was a good father and an inspiration to all of our employees." Kosasa is survived by his wife, Minnie, sons Paul and Thomas, daughters Susan Kosasa and Gloria Gainsley, and grandchildren Jonathan, Christian, Lisa, Lindsay and Ian.

Kuwahara, Oscar (1927-2006), acted as a filter for inaccuracy and insensitivity in the news content of the paper during his 32 years as a copy editor at the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. With news experience in Japan, the mainland and Europe before he returned to Hawaii, he spoke with authority that set writers and editors to take another look at their work. "Kuwahara handled a large volume of stories nightly," said former Editor John Simonds. "It's a demanding, unheralded job. The average reader doesn't appreciate the effort. People like Oscar are the reason we had far fewer mistakes than we might have. "He was especially sensitive about new reporters, making sure they understood the history of Hawaii. If he spotted cultural insensitivity, he was quick to note it," Simonds said. Kuwahara died Monday at 78. He retired from the paper in 1993. He had previously worked on Stars and Stripes in Tokyo and Darmstadt, Germany, and for the Milwaukee Sentinel. "His intellect was impeccable, no compromising. Spelling something properly was paramount," said Arlene Lum, former Star-Bulletin publisher. She renewed her respect for his skill when they worked together on a history of Iolani School, published in 1997. "He had an absolutely incredible memory for statistics and detail." Columnist Ben Wood and Kuwahara worked together at the European edition of the daily newspaper for American military abroad. "He was well-respected at Stars and Stripes, assigned to head the bureau at Orleans, France. He was a lively guy over there," said Wood. The two Hawaii men shared bachelor adventures in Europe in the 1950s. Their experiences in sampling restaurants that scored stars in the Michelin Guide led the pair to launch a European-style restaurant in Honolulu, a short-lived venture. Kuwahara's fellow workers knew his wry sense of humor and, if they were in his favor, benefited from individually wrapped bounty from his mango tree long after he retired. But he was also widely regarded as "kind of a curmudgeon," said staffer Cynthia Oi. "He was serious about work. He cared about what he did. It was something more than a job." Simonds said: "If you ever wanted him to put down his pencil and talk to you, you just asked about his sons. He was very, very proud of his sons." Kuwahara was born in Hilo. He graduated from Hilo High School, where he worked on the school newspaper. After serving with the Army from 1946 to 1948, he entered Marquette University School of Journalism and graduated in 1952. He is survived by his wife Janet; sons Ryan of Honolulu, Scott of San Jose, Calif., and Kenneth and his wife, Jadine, of Burlingame, Calif.; sisters Betsy Umetsu and Matsuko Kawaharada; and two grandchildren. A memorial service was held yesterday. The family suggests that memorial donations be made to: American Heart Association of Hawaii, 245 N.
