I celebrated my 21st birthday at his show! (Many years ago)
Tonight I will use the on-the-rocks glass I still have from his show in his honor.

Wow, he was an institution here in the islands. He will surely be missed. I wish I'd seen him perform -- I could have so many times.

Wow....what an icon he is. You can't think of Waikiki without thinking of Don Ho. I never saw him perform personally but know of his music. Tiny Bubbles is a great Hawaii hit. My condolences to his family.

I am sooo sad. I worked for him at the Polynesian Palace in 1971. I grew real tired of "Tiny Bubbles" night after night, but the song brings back good memories now. RIP, Boss.

RIP to Don Ho and condolences to his family. I saw a little segment about his death just a few minutes ago on KGMB.

My condolences to family and friends of Don Ho, too; it's always sad to hear of such news to people who symbolise places like Hawaii at different times.

That's sad. When I think of Don Ho I think of the Brady Bunch episode where Bobby and Cindy were trying to play the ukelele and he and his sidekick came up to them and sang to them.
