<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">PanAm stil had Pacific routes June-1991 when I was bumped from a America West 747 flight out of PHX to a PanAm 747 out of LAX to HNL. It must of been close to the end.</font>
Actually, no.

The sale of its Pacific Routes to United by Pan Am occurred during my tenure as a UA SFORR reservation agent (Feb 85 to Mar 87), most probably in 1986. While PA may have retained LAX-HNL service, if your recollection is accurate, the international Pacific route sale had long been consumated.

Unfortunately for the people of Guam, PA had just dropped HNL-GUM service, so UA did not exercise its authority on that route, and only serviced GUM (and SPN) from KIX (Osaka) briefly starting in 1994.
