THEODORE WILLIAM VORFELD
THEODORE WILLIAM VORFELD 76, of Holualoa, Hawaii, died peacefully at home on August 30, 2014 after a year-long battle with cancer. Born in Waipahu November 15, 1937, Ted graduated from Punahou School in 1955 and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at Oregon State University in Corvallis. Upon graduating, he returned to Hawaii to fulfill a scholarship obligation with the Hawaii Sugar Planters’ Association, thus launching a distinguished career in the sugar industry and in engineering throughout the Islands, and founding the well-known local engineering firms Thermal Engineering and Hualalai Engineering. He never truly retired, doing engineering consulting work late into life while managing a mac nut and coffee farm on the beautiful slopes of Hualalai above Kona. He had a lifelong love of the ocean, and especially, fishing. “Live your lives well” was one of his signature pieces of advice to his children. He most certainly lived these words himself. He will always live in our hearts as an extremely kind, intelligent, savvy, generous, gracious and entertaining story- teller who loved and enjoyed his family above all else. He is survived by his wife, Martha Vorfeld; daughter Jan Vorfeld and son-in-law Jim Finn of Mill Valley, CA; son Jeff Vorfeld and daughter-in-law Joanne (Jody) Vorfeld of Albany, OR; step-son, Doug Luce, of Ruckersville, VA; grandchildren Cameron Kurosu, Kirstin Kurosu, James Finn, Kate Finn, Natalie Luce and Christina Vorfeld; and numerous extended family both in the Islands and on the mainland.

Marian Adachi Kohn
MARIAN ADACHI KOHN Deeply cherished as wife, mother and grandmother, Marian Adachi Kohn died peacefully in her home surrounded by family on August 29, 2014, due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. She was born March 1, 1929, in Honolulu, to Kurakichi and Betty Kikuyo Adachi, and is survived by her husband of 55 years, Alan; daughters Lizabeth Sawyer (Jeffrey) of Vancouver, Washington, Nancy Kohn of Sequim, Washington, and Diane Heil (Benjamin) of Portland, Oregon, and son Stephen Kohn (Leslie) of Honolulu; and four grandchildren. She is also survived in Hawaii by her brother Thomas Adachi, sisters Florence Murashige and Ruby Takara, and sister-in-law Kiyoe Adachi. Marian graduated from Maryknoll High School and the University of Hawaii, where she then worked for several years as an entomology researcher with the late Professor D.E. Hardy, and as a scientific illustrator, before marrying and moving to the mainland. In 1961, the family moved to Edmonds, Washington, where she was an active volunteer for the school district, preparing outdoor environmental lessons for elementary students. Over the years Marian also co-taught classes as a volunteer in the horticulture program at Edmonds Community College, volunteered at the University of Washington in botany, zoology and at the Burke Museum, and for a year at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Since 1972 the family has resided in ShoreIine, Washington, where Marian became a more active gardener on her larger, nearly one-acre lot. She developed this into one of the finest gardens in the City of Shoreline, with many rare and native plants, where each May up to 140 rhododendron plants are in bloom simultaneously, and where she hosted horticulture classes and visiting botanists and plant enthusiasts. She was widely known and especially appreciated in the Seattle plant community for her generous gifts of plants and seeds to both individuals and public gardens. “Her garden was her resum�.” Donations in Marian’s memory are invited to the D. Elmo Hardy Student Assistance Endowment in the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
