In Loving Memory - Israel Kamakawiwo`ole
Lately, the "In Loving Memory - Israel Kamakawiwo`ole Guestbook" has been a difficult task to upkeep on a regular basis. As a result, e-Hawaii.com was generous enough to offer some space where the guestbook process is somewhat automated. I hope you enjoy the "new" look. My apologies for any inconvenience(s) this has caused.

I heard IZ for the first time in the film Meeting Joe Black (Brad Pitt and others). The mix of Somewhere of the Raimbow & What Wonderfull World didn't leave my head any more. I went to Internet and I found the informations about IZ. Today I found this site and I decided to write. The voice of IZ touches the soul and need to be preserved. What can we do here in Brasil to divulgate IZ?

Hello: I live in Guatemala, this is Central America. On the radio the song Over the Rainbow is on fashion now. I am learning to play guitar and since this song is so marvelous played I got interested and found out who this great artist was. Is it possible that you send me the lyrics and chords of this song? I have heard other version but this is the best. I have also heard the song in two movies.
Very truly yours Edley Bernard

I, like many of the others who signed this guestbook having just been turned onto the music of “IZ”, am deeply sadden by the realization that such a great talent is no long with us in person… But through his wonderful music he will live on forever. ALOHA IZ... you left a mark on my life.

Somewhere over the rainbow always chokes me up a little. i'm agnostic, a materialist and a strict rationalist but when i listen to that song For just few moments i beleive in a soul and maybe more.

Hello and condolences,
To Iz's family and friends, I say he is not dead, but alive in in your hearts. As long as one person remembers him, he will live for many more generations. You have his music and his remembered life.
I am sorry to learn this sweet gentle giant and heavenly treasure is no longer with us.
We all have a purpose in this life. After all, we are only hear to go to school. What we learn here, in this life, serves only to help us to get along in heaven.
I close now, but say to you, I believe Iz is in a better place now. He can now do all the thing he was unable to do in this life. His body is no longer wracked with pain.
May God richly bless you, Iz's family, and keep you in the hollow of his almighty hand.
Bruce Speed

GROWING UP WE ALWAYS HAD IZ'S MUSIK PLAYING. MY DAD WAS SO INTO THE MAKAHA SONS OF NI'IHAU. HE HAD ALL THE ALBUMS IN 8 TRACK TAPES, CASSETTE TAPES AND NOW CD'S. I WILL ALWAYS HAVE HIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND MUSIK IN MY LIFE AND I WILL PASS IT ON TO MY CHILDREN. MY SON PLAYS THE UKULELE AND ALWAYS SINGS AND PLAYS IZ'S MUSIK. MAHALO BRUDDAH IZ FOR BEING A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL FOR MY SON. HE LONGS TO PLAY, WRITE AND SING THE HAWAIIAN MUSIK. HE IS ONLY 11 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH THE TALENT OF MUSIK. YOUR MUSIK AND SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. MAHALO FOR TOUCHING MY LIFE WITH YOUR GIFT OF THE HAWAIIAN MUSIK.........

Mahalo Uncle IZ for all of the wonderful memories you have given me. From my childhood when you were just a teenager singing with uncle Skippy at church with Momma Hu down Nanakuli side (Let's not forget the wash tub bass). To my lonely times spent in the Persian Gulf holding onto Aloha. You've continue to inspired me, motivate me and keep me rooted to my aina. Because of you my children have a wonderful understanding of what is means to be Hawaiian. Aloha...

I was recently introduced to Iz's music, and it brings tears to my eyes. When I heard Someday Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful Life, I cried so hard. You are all so, so lucky to know such a wonderful man. I only wish I had put him into my dreams and prayers so much earlier. God bless you Iz. Your spritit will live on.

There is never a time that I can listen that it does not bring me to tears. Although the wrapping is gone, the gift you gave remains. Your voice sings here as well as in Heaven. The angels must be a little jealous. God bless.
