My BFF told her nephew that if she was ever in the hospital to play this beautiful song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", to her. She went into the hospital with a stroke on Nov 8, 2019 and he kept his vow to her and played this song for her. She passed on Nov 13, 2019. RIP, friend - I just know we will see each other again one day. I miss you so very much. 💔😢

Morbid obesity kills. Kamakawiwoʻole struggled with obesity throughout his life, at one point weighing 757 pounds (343 kg) while standing 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall. He endured several hospitalizations because of his weight. With chronic medical problems including respiratory and cardiac issues, Kamakawiwoʻole died at the age of 38 in the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu at 12:18 a.m. on June 26, 1997, from respiratory failure. His tragic death could have been prevented.

He pronounced almost every Hawaiian word or name incorrectly. W’s are pronounced like V’s in Iz’s last name. U’s are pronounced “oo”, E is short like in “egg” so ukulele is pronounced “oo-koo-le-le”. There are more mispronunciations but this comment would be too long. But the narrator gave it a good try!!

I wonder if Iz's daughter sings now?

The uncle’s name is Moe Keale who is a renowned Musician-singer in Hawaii and if you listen to his voice it sounds like Iz. Google Moe Keale singing a Hawaiian Gospel “Ua Mau” and you will understand what I’m speaking of. I think that it’s a Niihau DNA thing. What Moe was speaking of was Israel was a bad egg when he was young but then he evolved into the most loving endearing person you could meet 🌺
