Other Deaths
Trinidad Q. Alconcel, former Philippine consul general in Honolulu who later served as the country’s ambassador to Argentina, has died. He was 89.
Alconcel died Thursday at his home in Honolulu, the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu said in a news release.
“Alconcel is well loved by the Filipino community in the state of Hawai‘i for his various efforts to promote greater rapport among community members,” the consulate said.
Born in Caoayan, Ilocos Sur, Alconcel graduated cum laude and salutatorian from the University of Manila.
He joined the Philippine foreign service in the 1940s and served with the Department of Foreign Affairs from 1947-56. He was a senior assistant, then chief of division in the department.
James Knaefler, a hotel executive credited with helping to make Waikiki an affordable travel destination, has died. He was 78.
Knaefler died June 13 of a heart attack while traveling in Nevada, relatives said.
Throughout his career, Knaefler sought to lower room rates for tourists with tighter budgets and create packages for families.
“It was mass marketing…in cooperation with the airlines that has enabled millions of the middle class to vacation in Hawai‘i, once enjoyed by the wealthy,” Knaefler’s ex-wife Tomi, said in a written statement.
Knaefler served in the Navy during World War II and came to the islands after the war and attended the University of Hawai‘i. After serving for a decade as one of hotel mogul Roy Kelley’s top executives, he joined the Waikikian Hotel as general manager and later became president and chief executive officer of the Cinerama Hawaii Hotels.
