Here are some of the comments and condolences posted last night at HonoluluAdvertiser.com about the death of Kaua'i Mayor Bryan Baptiste:
"I may reside on the other end of the political spectrum from Mayor Baptiste, but every time I met him personally, he was a very likeable gentleman. Whether I personally agreed with him or not, I do believe that Bryan Baptiste always did what he believed was best for the island of Kaua'i. There is no doubt about that. Good luck on the next part of your journey, Mr. Mayor."
"Mayor Bryan Baptiste put the people before himself. He touched many people's lives. He always did what he thought was right. Although we did not always agree on things, I respect him, since he did what he thought the people of Kaua'i wanted. Aloha, Bryan."
"God Bless you, Bryan. You gave the people of Kaua'i everything you had. I will miss you, your caring nature and kind concern for all. You are a man of spirit and a spirit of man. Warmest aloha to your family —we will all remember you with aloha."
"May God give your family the strength to carry them through the difficult days ahead, you will be missed by many. ... "
"Aloha oe. Blessed are those who are loved by so many and to so many have loved."
"God bless you, Bryan, and your whole family. Your love for the people of Kaua'i will live on in our love and remembrance of you and of all the things you did to empower and give a voice to each one of us. Warmest aloha always."
