He was a devoted Christian and long time Deacon of Ketesemane Ole Fiafia where he remained in service of until his untimely passing. As his time with us has gone, we remember the man that he was. A hard headed, stern man. A jokester when he wanted to be and a proud man, always. But most of all, He was our family. And he was our friend. Gone, but never forgotten; we cherish who he was and always will be in our hearts, Rest in Love Aleipata Sola
