smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can
open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, or you
can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or
you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is
gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be
empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she’d want: Smile, open your eyes, love and go

Paguirigan, Restituto “Dingo” Ramos, of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, Philippines died
peacefully at his home in Kalihi on July 29, having lived fully to the age of 89. He was among
the laborers brought on the S.S. Maunawili in 1946 to work in Hawaii’s sugar cane fields. To
better his life and that of his future family, he secured a job as a stevedore for Castle & Cooke,
where, with the support of the ILWU, he dutifully worked for 36 years until his retirement in
July 1985. His relentless labor and unselfish dedication to family were matched by that of his
wife, Linda Paguirigan, and together they enabled the college educations and achievements of
each of their five children, Cristeta, Marilyn, Rosemarie, Restituto Jr., and Joseph. He treasured

PECK, JOAN, long time O’ahu North Shore resident Joan Boardman Peck died on Thursday,
October 18, 2012, after a long decline following a stroke two years ago. Joan was born on
January 16,1924. in Sterlington outside of Monroe, Louisiana, where she still has many loving
friends. Joan graduated from Neville High School and was an alumnus of The University of
Wisconsin with a degree in Engineering before marrying her handsome Air Force pilot, Fred
Peck. They traveled the world together during his military career and developed deep friendships
everywhere they went, but decided to return to Hawai’i, where they lived here the rest of their
lives, after Fred retired from his last duty assignment at Wheeler Air Force Base in 1967.
Adventurous and outgoing, she was also kind and giving. Joan led her life dedicated to the needs
and support of others. She loved to travel and was always the first one to explore a new foreign
neighborhood, leading the charge up a hill or splashing into the ocean, bayou or river. She loved
to play golf, bridge and mahjong with friends and while she was healthy, she swam daily with
her beloved dog, Carmichael, and the North Shore sea turtles. She was a gracious hostess whose
doors were always open to family, friends, and civic, church and fraternal organizations. Joan
was widely known and appreciated through her many social activities on the North Shore, and at
one time was referred to in the North Shore News as “the ever-smiling Mrs. Peck.” She was most
dedicated to the Olive United Methodist Church in Wahiawa, where she served as the Sunday
School Superintendent for over 20 years. She also served as a volunteer poll worker on elections
in Haleiwa for decades, and on occasion was a tutor and substitute teacher at Haleiwa and
Waialua Schools. The North Shore Republican Party met on her lanai at her lovely home for
many years, but this dyed-in-the-wool lifelong Republican voted for Hawai’i's Favorite Son in
her last vote cast. Joan took pride in her work with The Freedom Foundation, interviewing youth
from across the State of Hawai’i and chaperoning them on annual trips to Washington, D.C. and
Page 35
the Liberty Bell. Joan also served in several offices of the North Shore Outdoor Circle, and took
particular pride in the organization’s role in removing obstructions to the view of the ocean along
Kamehameha Highway. She was a lioness in the Waialua Lions Club. She was a founding
member and actively served in several offices in the National Society of The Colonial Dames of
America in The State of Hawai’i, and, earlier this year, she was awarded the title of “Honorary
State President for Life” of the Colonial Dames XVII Century in recognition for valuable service
since 1966. She was a member of the DAR, Chi Omega Alumni Association, Friends of Waialua
Library, Waialua Hospital Auxiliary and the Waialua Community Center. Joan was preceded in
death by her parents Clark C. and Ethel M. Boardman, husband Col. Fred R. Peck in 1999 and
brother Grant C. (Buddy) Boardman (Fort Worth, Texas) in 2010. She is survived by her
daughter, Diane Peck Ray and son-in-law Scoll Ray, both of Haleiwa and New Orleans, sister-
in-law Maxine Boardman (Fort Worth), niece Barbara Boardman (Salt Lake City) and her
brothers Cal (Salt Lake City) and Clint (Fort Worth) and their spouses and children, and Cousins
Anne Wilbur (Alaska) and Paul and Lorie La Page (Honolulu). She is survived by sister-in-law
Jane Peck, niece Christie and her brothers Kevin, Aldrich, and David and their spouses and
children (California) and nieces Susan Crenshaw and Leslie Farrington and their children
(Florida). Services will be held on Saturday, October 27, at the Olive United Methodist Church
at 108 California Street in Wahiawa with greetings beginning at 9:30 before the service at 10:00
AM. In lieu of flowers, send donations to the church. [Honolulu Star-Advertiser 24 October

PETERS, DAVID M., was born August 6, 1923, in Honolulu, the oldest child of Charles
Merritt Peters and Mollie Kananipauole Akana Peters. David spent his early years on Maui, with
his beloved sister Ione and brother Charles. His father, a military veteran and territorial senator,
was the island’s first mortician. His mother, who later owned a beauty parlor, was herself a
beauty-and the disciplinarian in the family. David was student at the Kamehameha School for
Boys beginning in grade 7. He returned to Maui in 1938, and graduated from Maui High School
Page 44
in 1941. David’s leadership, commitment and service began early. In high school, he was
president of his junior and senior classes and an award-winning orator. He was the first person
from Maui to be appointed to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. In 1946, David
graduated from West Point with a B.S. in Engineering and commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the
U.S. Army. Over the next thirty years, he commanded at all tactical levels, including as an
Airborne Infantry officer during the Korean War and in Vietnam as a member of the elite Special
Forces and later a Battalion Commander. In Germany, he commanded a Brigade on the front
lines of the Cold War. Other assignments included senior military assistant to the U.S.
commander in Vietnam and the NATO commander in Europe. In his last Army assignment,
David led the University of Hawai’i Army ROTC unit as Professor of Military Science. He
retired as a Colonel in 1976. Among David’s military decorations are the Silver Star for gallantry
in action, four Legions of Merit and three Bronze Stars (including one for valor). He graduated
from the U.S. Army War College and earned an M.A. in Journalism from the University of
Wisconsin. While in the Army, David met and in 1953, married the former Joan Sabin. They had
three children, Lauren, David, Jr., and Diane. Joan died in 1986, and David, Jr., in 1988. In 1989,
David married Mary Melekahana Awai Kapaona, a Kamehameha graduate, community
volunteer and successful businesswomen. David set a shining example as a loving husband,
father and grandpa. After retirement from the Army, David served the people of Hawai’i for
another three-plus decades. Working until 1990 as Executive Assistant to U.S. Senator Daniel K.
Inouye, David ran the Senator’s Honolulu office and helped countless constituents. In 1978,
David became a Trustee of the Queen Lili’uokalani Trust, serving for 29 years, including ten as
Chairman. During his tenure, the Trust expanded the number of orphaned and destitute children
served, built new facilities, and solidified its strong financial base. A strong and active
community leader, David helped to found Alu Like. He served on many boards, including the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs Education Foundation and Hawai’i Army Museum. He was a
member of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I and Hale o Na Ali’i, past president of Prince
Kuhi’o Hawaiian Civic Club, and a Rotarian, Scottish Rite Mason, Shriner and Elk. David’s
many community awards included the Royal Order of Ke Ali’i Pauahi, Native Hawaiian
Chamber of Commerce ‘O’o Award for Outstanding Public Service, Hawai’i Army Museum
‘Ihe Award, and designation by the Prince Kuhi’o Hawaiian Civic Club as a “Cultural Living
Treasure.” During three, long and successful careers and a lifetime of service, David encouraged,
helped and inspired many people. He taught us how to live and love. David is survived by his
wife Mary Melekahana; daughters Lauren Kahea Moriarty (Jim), Diane Peters-Nguyen (Nhan),
and Nani Burgess (Ola); sons Keven (Babs), Wade (Annette) and Shane (Mindy) Kapaona; 18
grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Visitation will be Friday, Dec 14, at 2 p.m. at St.
Andrew’s Cathedral; funeral service at 4 p.m. Burial at a later date at National Cemetery of the

Pickens, Alexander L., Honolulu Arts Educator and Philanthropist Leaves a Legacy of
Fundraising ALEXANDER L. PICKENS, 1921 – 2012 Dr. Alexander L. Pickens, Professor
Emeritus, College of Education, University of Hawai’i at Manoa and former Assistant to the
Dean for College Development, passed away peacefully at his home on June 23, 2012. Ardent
and longtime supporters of fundraising, Pickens and his wife, Frances established an endowment
fund, named the Frances M.J. & Alexander Pickens Scholarship Fund in Secondary Education.
Today, the college’s development office is dedicated to him for his work in establishing a
successful scholarship program that continues to grow each year. He is survived by his wife
Frances, numerous former students, and friends who continue to support the arts in education by
giving back to their communities: an attribute he modeled throughout his lifetime in service to
others. Beginning his career as a public school teacher, Pickens earned a BA in English from
Southern Methodist University, an MA in Art from North Texas State University, and an EdD in
Fine Arts from Columbia University. He taught at the University of Michigan and the University
of Georgia before settling in Hawai’i in 1962. An associate professor of art education at the
College of Education, Pickens was promoted to full professor in 1969. He would additionally
serve as Assistant to the Dean for College Development, a position he helped to create in 1989.
Investing his own resources and encouraging others to do the same, Pickens obtained funds to
commemorate the college’s 50th anniversary in 1981. He would continue to raise money for
scholarships and endowments until his retirement in 2001. “I give because of the need,” Pickens
said in a 2011 interview. “From what I have seen over my 39 years with the college, the students
are very responsible. Many of them are single parents, most have part-time jobs, and some are
supporting parents and grandparents. The College of Education is still very important to me and
my wife, and our desire is to support its future.” In 1989, Pickens was honored with a Regents
Medal for Excellence in Teaching. Among his numerous other awards and achievements, he was
given the Award of Excellence for Commitment and Service to the college’s alumni association
in 1996 and the College Benefactor Award in 2008. Throughout his career, Pickens served as an
art education consultant who organized, designed, and raised funds for art exhibitions and
projects. He worked steadily through summers and spent his sabbatical leaves in the 1970s and
80s researching art history at Yale; conducting Smithsonian Institute study tours in Greece and
England; and visiting schools in Morocco, Egypt, and Kenya. Active in the community, Pickens
served on the Board of Directors for the Honolulu Theater for Youth from 1997 to 2001 and sat
on the Boards of Directors for the Honolulu Symphony from 1998 to 2010 and Chamber Music
Hawaii from 2002 to 2012. A celebration of life will be held in Honolulu in mid-August to honor
Alex and his accomplishments. Donations in memory of Alexander L. Pickens may be made to:
