Rae,
Sincerest appreciation for Your most heartwarming message. It brought me to tears and touched my Heart. Thank You for Your Prayers for Wayne and his Ohana.
Truer words were never said than in Your statement to Wayne…”You made running an art and gave them and others the framework for a lifetime of healthy living.” Mahalo for so eloquently putting into words the tremendous impact Wayne has made.
We are truly grateful to You for all that You Do for Us, too.
With Love and Humble Gratitude, Arleen

This message goes out to Wayne, Randee, Jaclynn and all others who love and support Wayne Big Dog Joseph! You certainly are an inspiration to all of us who know you. Not only have you made a difference in our lives, but in the hundreds of young runners you have worked with. My sons, Kevin and Owen, were extremely fortunate to have you as their cross county coach. You were strict, but fair. You made running an art and gave them and others the framework for a lifetime of healthy living. Thank you for all that you gave to our family and you WILL come back from this current setback to be that inspiration for more people. Take care, be strong and our prayers are with you and your ohana.
Rae, Kevin and Owen Yamanaka

Good Morning Joe, Humble Gratitude for Your beautiful message to Your Dearest Friend Wayne. It’s so true that there aren’t enough words to express all of the incredible things that Wayne has done for so many. You were Blessed to be touched by Wayne and right to point out that lives he has touched are all forever changed…for the better.
I am grateful for Your kind words about my post…I just write from the Heart. Wish I was a “pro” like Wayne…just another one of his many talents. With Warmest Mahalo, Arleen

There aren’t enough words to express all the positive, encouraging and unselfish things that Wayne has done for so many. Not only has he touched a vast number of people, but the lives he has touched are all forever changed… for the better. Wayne has helped encourage me in many ways also. I am forever greatfull that GOD brought us together as freinds.. Arleen, thank you so much for your post. You truly have a gift in writing. And to Wayne, it is apparent to me that even with all that you have been through, and are going through, that you still continue to suprise me with your positve outlook on everything. Thanks for being my deerest friend.

Joey

coach joseph was my coach through four years of high school track and cross country and i can say that with pride. he has always motivated me to do my best as an athlete and leader and cared for me as more than just his 3-time cross country MVP and captain but also as a human being. coach is a terrific mentor and person and it feels good to see he has the admiration and support he rightfully deserves. stay strong coach!
