Dr. Patrick Koon
Hung Pi'imauna Charles Aiu, a physician who delivered a generation of Kaua'i children
and a leader in the Hawaiian voyaging canoe culture, died Oct. 28, 2002. He was
63. Aiu, who retired
as a colonel from the Hawai'i National Guard, was doctor to countless patients
on Kaua'i and Ni'ihau, and was the county's first specialist in obstetrics and
gynecology. "We
considered him the father of modern obstetrics on Kaua'i," said Dr. Bill
Evslin, president of the Kaua'i Medical Clinic. "He was a wonderfully
skillful, calm, compassionate physician." Aiu received a 1998 Ka'onohi Award for
Outstanding Contributions in Hawaiian Health. He served on the state Board of
Medical Examiners.
Voyaging
became his great love when in 1980 he sailed as ship's doctor on the Hawaiian
voyaging canoe Hokule'a's first trip to Tahiti. He later sailed on several
other legs during the canoe's Pacific voyages. He also steered and paddled racing
canoes, and built his own paddles. When not paddling, he could pluck out a
slack key tune.
He
was one of the founders of Na Kalai Wa'a O Kaua'i, which is building a voyaging
canoe on Kaua'i. Aiu gave the canoe its name, Na Mahoe. He also
developed the Na Pali Challenge outrigger canoe race, which raises money for
the canoe. His ashes will
be returned to Kaua'i from O'ahu aboard the voyaging canoe Hawai'i Loa, weather
permitting. He is survived
by his wife, Mavis Dew Aiu of Kaua'i; his children Pua'alaokalani of O'ahu,
Pi'imauna of Colorado, Mohala of O'ahu, Imaikalani of Wailua, Makani of
California, and Victoria of Kaua'i; brothers Harold Aiu of Kaua'i, Ernest Aiu
of California, and Raymond Aiu Sr. of Kaua'i; sisters Cecilia Wood and Alma
Wong, both of O'ahu; 3 grandchildren. Visitation from 9 to 10:45 a.m.; Mass 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Nov. 8 at St. Catherine's Catholic Church, in Kapa'a, Kaua'i. Honor guard
ceremony on the church grounds, followed by scattering of ashes at sea from the
voyaging canoe Hawai'i Loa. A gathering for family and friends will be held at
the Kaua'i Veterans Center after the scattering of ashes. Family requests
leis, instead of wreaths or floral arrangements, to be scattered with the
ashes. [Adv 31/10/2002]
Dr. Patrick Koon Hung Piimauna Charles Aiu, a physician on Kauai and Niihau for more than 30 years, the first ship's doctor on the voyaging canoe Hokule'a, retired National Guard colonel and accomplished guitarist, died Monday Oct 28, 2002 on Oahu at age 63. The youngest of eight children, Aiu was born on Kauai on Sept. 14, 1939, and grew up in Wailua Houselots on Kauai's East Shore. He graduated from Kapaa High School and attended several universities, ultimately graduating from the UCLA medical school in 1964. After serving three years as an Army doctor in Germany, Aiu returned to Kauai and became the first obstetri
