It seems like it was only yesterday that we were together on one of trips to California. Memories that are never forgotten. Love you my braddah. ❤️
Bob peacefully passed away on February 14, 2014. After serving in the US Army, he became an entrepreneur at the age of 22 and built his company, Rolloffs Hawaii Inc over the next 35 years. As business partners with his wife and sons his business ventures include RRR Recycling Services and Fresh Catch. Bob was a very hardworking, trustworthy and respectable man loved and admired by family & friends alike. He shared his passions of building and cruising in his 1932-1937 street rods in Hawaii and stateside, along with boating and deep sea fishing.
He is survived by his wife & highschool sweetheart Linda, mother Bernice Lane, sons Dominic (Miki-Lee), Reno (Mahealani) and Bobby.
Five grandchildren: Reno Jr, Kaimana, Adam, Keira & Cole,
Sisters – Virginia and Judy.
A “Memory Gathering” celebrating Bob’s life and funtimes will be held on March 16, 2014, Heeia State Park Hall/Ulu Mau Village from 3pm-6pm. If desired, the family suggests donations to the American Kidney Foundation – Hawaii Chapter or American Diabetes – Hawaii Chapter.
Please share your memories or photos of Bob on this website.
"Aloha" Bob...you will be greatly missed but remembered always.

Bob,
It has been a year since you left us - amazing that much time has gone by already. You are very much missed by your family and friends and we think of you fondly every day - often with laughter and yet with sadness that you had to leave us so soon. I continue to ask for blessings for you and for Linda and the boys. Love you!

Hi Dad,
I miss you so much. This weekend we were up in Lahaina fishing the Lahaina Jackpot and Halloween shoot out fishing tournament. It brought back a lot of memories of when you used to take me fishing in the tournaments. I miss making Kim Chee sandwiches for you and grabbing you budweisers all day. Even when I am sea sick and dying, you used to always call for me to grab you something. Good laughs looking back at it now. We caught a 27 lb mahi mahi and lost a really large marlin. We opened up a beer to toast for you dad, and as soon as we poured it in the ocean, a huge marlin came and took our pole. Out of nowhere the line snapped. I think it was you in spirit to give us a good run and sight of hope! I know you were in our presence and letting us know you were with us. Probably laughing at us but I know I will see you in my next life dad. I love you so much and thank you for all the good memories and laughs in Lahaina.
P.S. The boat was too quiet, I miss you yelling at us. We felt you in our presence. Aloha oi.

I'm sitting and thinking every moment of today, missing you my friend. Only wishing I could say Happy Birthday once again as I had for many years. But now it's sent to heaven.
You aimed for true perfection. Anything less just wouldn't do. Mistakes would need correction, needed or not..that was you.
So many years of fun trips. I can not believe they are now gone. I miss you more than words can say. Though your legacy will still live on.
I miss your ways...a heart of gold you were. I hope you know how thankful I was to have you there for me always. A true friend you will always be.
Happy Birthday Bob!
Love you...Jason

I met the Henriques family 2 years ago, as a contractor working in Kapolei.
In a short time, I felt the true spirit of Aloha. You opened your home to my wife and I on Easter Sunday, and made us feel like part of the family.
The legacy of Bob will be carried on in his friends and family who were gifted with knowing him. Aloha.

Dear Cousin Linda, I am going to share my long secret with all of you. When I was about 10, I was so in love whith my cousin Bob. I thought he was the most handsome guy that walked the face of the earth. Maybe I would marry him one day. LOL One day this other beautiful women shows up (Linda) and I was so crushed. My life was over. LOL He loved and admired you so much. Cousin Bob loved his sons, daughter in laws, grandchildren, his mom, dad, sisters, brother, and the rest of the family and frends. I will always admire your accomplishments together and will always love him in my heart.

Dear Aunty Linda, Dominic, Reno, and Bobby,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Uncle Bob was such a wonderful, kind and generous man. Uncle Bob and Aunty Linda were very kind to let me live with them for a couple of years. Uncle Bob would cook amazing dinners, and only every now and then ask me if I was planning on getting married anytime soon :).
One thing I remember most about Uncle Bob is that he was a big Peyton Manning fan. I have always been a Denver Broncos fan, and over the past two years we have enjoyed discussing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. I know Uncle Bob was just as excited as I was that the Broncos and Peyton made it to the Superbowl this year.
We all miss him very much and will never forget his usual pose, smiling with a shaka.
Love to you all,
Keala, Dale, and Emi

Linda and Sons,
Bob was the most thoughtful and generous person who will be greatly missed. He inherited the best traits of his parents – the business acumen and knowing how to work hard, his generosity, kindness and compassion which he passed on to his sons. He was also very persistent, which I remember him as a young kid pedaling on his bike miles through Kailua, to get to our house to see “the love of his LIFE”. Their journey together started when (as he told the story), he wanted to meet “LC” because he heard that her father raised pigeons. Well, that turned out to be the wrong “LC”, but he did meet “LC” who became his lifelong mate! One of the many gifts he gave Linda, besides a B-I-G stuffed dog, was an Easter gift of rabbits which to our surprise soon turned out to be a family of bunnies! Linda thought there were rats in the rabbit hutch, but they were the newborn babies. ;)
Because of Bob’s generosity, my husband used to tease him saying “adopt me”!
We miss him and loved him very much and will be here to support all of you!
Love,
Mom
