Rest in peace, Mr. Herkes, condolences to his lovely wife. Found on Gil Kahele's site:
Received word today that former long time Hawaii Island legislator Bob Herkes has passed. He was a fierce legislator, sharp as a whip, member of the Hawaii Tourism Board and a good friend. Condolences to his wife Joanna. RIP Bob..Ahui Hou GK (Gil Kahele)

This man was the General Manager at the original Kona Surf, back in the day, long before politics. He was a long time kama'aina, who did his best for our Puna district long ago. Sometimes his position was not the "popular" one, however, he served all of Hawai'i in his own way.
Mahalo for your public service, Sir, and to your ohana, prayers for strength and sincere aloha.
Moe me ka maluhia lani. (Sleep in heavenly peace.)
