Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Aloha Frank A.F. Kong,

I’m your grandson that never knew you because you passed before my birth. I followed in your footsteps becoming a police officer and retiring as a Police Lieutenant with the San Jose Police Department.

My parents, your son Vivian and his wife May, were not thrilled when I told them I wanted to be a police officer. They did not elaborate at the time only saying that it was probably not a good idea. It was not until I had been a police officer for years that I learned of the circumstances of your passing. I did not know that you were a police officer and killed in the line of duty.

My sister, your granddaughter Cecelia Amoy Kong, also continued the tradition by becoming a Special Agent with the FBI. We are both retired now and will always be proud to be part of the Law Enforcement community and to have you as our Kapunakane.

Rest easy knowing that you have not been forgotten by the officers at Maui PD , nor your family. We look forward to meeting you in heaven and “talking story” not only as fellow law enforcement officers but as your proud grandchildren.

Aloha oe a hui hou kakou!

Ernie and Cecelia Kong

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 61rst anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace

Aloha Officer Frank A. F. Kong,
Thank you for your service and dedication to your community and your country. You and all officers that continue to lay your lives on the line and pay the ultimate sacrifice to keep our communities and country safe, will NEVER be forgotten.

I personally pledge, (after one of Hawaii's own, Honolulu Police Officer Steve Favela, lost his life in the line of duty protecting our Commander in Chief, President George W. Bush), to become a continuum of the "ODMP Light". That light is in the form of an ODMP tribute.

People from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, religion, profession, education, and geographical location can share here a word or two on behalf of each and every fallen officer.

Every fallen officer is an hero. The ODMP serves as a place where that continuum of "LIGHT" can be seen through and within, the heart and soul of each and every person who honors our fallen heroes with a reflection and/or tribute. As we say in Hawaii, we are `Ohana. We are family.

May God comfort the family and loved ones who have lost their beloved Frank. May God also comfort those who have lost a fellow officer and friend that can never be replaced in this lifetime.

I wish you peace and love beyond all understanding.
You are embraced as one of Hawaii's own with full honors of integrity, respect, and fairness as if you were a fallen officer today. May God allow you to rest in peace Officer Frank A. F. Kong.

Me Ke Aloha Pumehana. Amen.

**I pray all find comfort in this Hawaiian prayer I leave you.**

THE PEACE OF " I "
KA MALUHIA O KA "I"

Peace be with you, All My Peace,
O ka Maluhia no me oe, Ku'u Maluhia a pau loa,

The Peace that is " I ", the Peace that is "I am".
Ka Maluhia o ka "I", owau no ka Maluhia,

The Peace for always, now and forever and evermore.
Ka Maluhia no na wa a pau, no ke'ia wa a mau a mau loa aku.

My Peace " I " give to you, My Peace " I " leave with you,
Ha'awi aku wau I ku'u Maluhia ia oe, waiho aku wau I ku'u Maluhia me oe,

Not the world's Peace, but, only My Peace,
The Peace of " I ".

A'ole ka Maluhia o ke ao aka, ka'u Maluhia wale no,
Ka Maluhia o ka "I".

Brother Kong,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue
