Officer Mann was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries approximately one hour later. The driver of the other vehicle was also killed in the accident.

Dear Everyone, Thank you for all of the amazing things you have said in Memory of my Great-Grandfather. He died very young and he would have been 100 this year. He was a WW2 Veteran and was at Schofield Barracks during Pearl Harbor. He never got to see his Grandchildren, One of which followed in his footsteps and is now a police officer.
My Great-Grandfather's name will always be engraved for the great service and sacrifice he gave his country.

Great-Grandson
