County of Hawai’i Mayor Billy Kenoi issued the following statement in response to the news of the passing of former Honolulu Mayor Frank Fasi:

“Mayor Frank Fasi was one of the great personalities in Hawai’i politics, a political giant, and he will be missed. His will and determination to advance his agenda made him a force to be reckoned with during each and every year of his long political career, whether he was serving in the Territorial Legislature, on the City Council, or governing as Honolulu’s mayor.

“To walk through downtown Honolulu is to walk past many of the achievements of Frank Fasi’s remarkable career. Whether he was building Honolulu’s world-class bus service or leaving his imprint on the public spaces of the city, Frank Fasi 'got the job done.' "
