Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona issued the following statement:

“Frank Fasi was a giant in Hawaii politics, and his passing will be felt throughout our state.
“His impact can be seen by his many public works projects and strong community programs that continue to this day.
“I had the pleasure of working for Mayor Fasi early in my career as a city attorney, and he was a man of action who inspired others to do their very best.
“Vivian and I extend our deepest sympathy to Joyce and all of the Fasi family, as well as his many friends and supporters across our state.”
