A memorial service for �Iolani School�s longtime former coach and athletic director Eddie Hamada will be held Sunday, Jan. 31 at the school�s St. Alban�s Chapel.

Visitation will be at 9 a.m., services at noon with a reception to follow.
Parking will be available in the school�s Kamoku Street structure and the baseball field (enter on Laau Street).
A member of �Iolani�s Class of 1946, Hamada died of natural causes Jan. 3 at age of 81.
In 28 seasons as head coach and two more years as athletic director, Hamada instilled the �One Team� philosophy established by his legendary coach at �Iolani, Father Kenneth A. Bray.
Along the way, Hamada became a legend himself � not just for his mentorship and 156 victories but also for his engaging personality that endeared him to players, fellow coaches and athletic directors across Hawai�i.
During his playing days at �Iolani, Hamada was a 5-foot-7, 145-pound center whom Bray developed into an ILH all-star in 1945.
After graduating in 1946, Hamada attended Emporia (Kansas) State College and earned a teaching degree, then returned to �Iolani as a teacher and coach. He became head football coach in 1960 and athletic director in 1963, emphasizing the �One Team� principles of discipline, teamwork, humility and unselfishness.
Hamada is survived by his wife, Cynthia; son, Edward Hamada Jr., and daughter, Tane Hamada; four stepchildren, and two grandchildren and 10 step-grandchildren.
