"You're 102 today! You're 102 today!
You've never been 102 before. You've got the key to the door.
Hau'oli la Hanau. Hau'oli la Hanau."
(Picture and lyrics borrowed from "Blind Tiger." Hawaii Five-0. Leonard Freeman Productions / CBS Television, 1969.)
Happy Birthday, Jack! You lived an honorable life and played honorable characters in Stoney Burke and Hawaii Five-O. Your work lives on and is still enjoyed by so many. It is my hope that along with the entertainment, young viewers will also absorb the values and ideals demonstrated by Stoney and Steve McGarrett. It would make the world a better place. Hau'oli la Hanau!

Jack and Marie walked on the beach in the cool, windy trades.
Jack spread a blanket, and both sat down,
And together they watched a parade.
Monk seals and dolphins swam closely by to offer birthday greetings.
Then came opakapakas and two honu proud
To round out the marine life meeting.
Hauʽoli la hanau, Dear Jack! Hauʽoli la hanau.
