Turk could be seen everyday walking around Kapaa town for many years. Usually barefoot or wearing beat up slippa's, often smoking a cig.

Born on February 22, 1930, in Kapahi, Kaua‘i, Territory of Hawai‘i, James "Turk" Takao Fukushima is the son of the late Suekichi Wada Fukushima and the Koto Ebesu Fukushima. Being the fifth member in a family of thirteen children, Turk volunteered for the United States Army after graduating from Kapa‘a High School. The Korean War started and "Turk" wanted to follow in the footsteps of his older brothers, the late Harry Yukito Fukushima and the late George "Manini" Fukushima and also Henry Fukushima who were veterans of World War II. The Fukushima Family had eight sons Harry, George, Henry, James, Paul who served in the United States Army, Raymond served in the Hawai‘i Army National Guard, Joseph served in the United States Army Reserve, and Richard served in the United States Army Security Agency and in the Hawai‘i Army National Guard. Sisters, Grace Hikida and Edna Kawasaki worked as Civilians for the United States Army at Fort Shafter. The Fukushima family is a dedicated and loyal government-oriented family who are proud to serve our county.

"Turk" was one of thousand of soldiers that were wounded in the Korean conflict. As a result of his injury, a shrapnel wound in his abdomen, on October 13, 1951, James received a Bronze Star on April 22, 1952, and a Purple Heart on April 23, 1959 (a year after is discharge from the United States Army). James served in the United State Army from about December 1950 until April 18, 1958. He remained in the United States Army even after being "wounded" in the Korean War.

Turk, "Sarge," "General," the "Honorary Mayor," or whatever name that you may known him as, was the "Unsung Hero" that everybody saw almost everyday in Kapa‘a. Few people really knew what really happened to him, but took the time to stop for him to cross the street; gave him $$$ for cigarettes, not knowing that he loved to play cards at the Leehi (at Waika‘ea Canal). The merchants and people of Kapa‘a knew him well and Turk was a person that people always see as part of their daily expectations, while passing through Kapa‘a Town. Since he is no longer here with us, he will always leave a vivid picture in the people's mind when the name "Turk" is mentioned in their conversation. He had his daily routine and daily route that he would take and could be seen everywhere in Kapa‘a town walking sometime with a cane and slippers, and many times without slippers, doing the airborne shuffle. You could see him at the Shell Service Station in Waipouli, by Pono Market, and by the ABC Discount Store, which was part of his many stops in his sojourn. He did put a lot of mileage on his slippers and go through at least 12 pairs of slippers a year.

"Turk" had been living independently with brother Raymond since their mother passed away in 1987. He did his own cooking at times and also did his own laundry. James favorite food was lup chong and chicken noodle soup. He was harmless and wandered in the streets of Kapa‘a.

Everyone knows Turk as he shuffled his way around town. When he walked into a coffee shop, he was immediately served a cup of coffee, no questions asked and no conversations needed; the merchants knew what he wanted. He would sit drink his coffee and go on with his journey through town. When the Old Kinko Saimin stand was located in the old Pono Theater, he would walk in, order a bowl of saimin, and leave the saimin stand and later return to eat the saimin when it was cooled a few minutes later. On the night life, he would walk in have a sit at a pub and the bartender would place a glass of Coca-Cola in front of him, no alcohol, all without any verbal conversation, just part of his daily routine. Turk would do errands for the businessmen or just take out the trash for them in return. Another place that he would frequent would be the Leehi or "River Street" Canal. He would sometimes play cards or chat with the friends at the Leehi, or go on errands for them. He was sent once to pick up things at the store that was too much for him to carry and he ended up calling a Cab to take him back to the Leehi and had the guys pay for the cab fare.

To the friends and family of Kapa‘a Shell, ABC Discount Store, Pono Market, Pono Kai Resort, Bonnie's, Olympic Cafe and other people and businesses in Kapa‘a, a heartfelt "Thank you" from the Fukushima Family for accommodating James "Turk" all these years.

James was never married and led a simple life of meandering around Kapa‘a Town because of his injury from the Korean War. James would occasionally hitch a ride to Lihu‘e before the Kaua‘i Bus was in service. Everybody knew him and gave him a ride from and to Lihu‘e or other places on the island. Friends and family of Kapa‘a and everywhere on Kaua‘i who was touched by "Turk" will surely miss the legendary Hero, our Brother, our Uncle, "Turk."

Brother James "Turk" Takao Fukushima may appear to some of the people that have seen him on a daily basis as a homeless person; but on the contrary, he was richly blessed with many brothers and sisters as well as his many friends and other family members. His daily walk was with God, Our Heavenly Father, and today, he has finally walked the final mile to be with his Savior, Mom, Dad, and brothers Harry and George. Amen.

James Takao Fukushima

Dec. 7, 2004

James Takao "Turk" Fukushima, also known as "The Mayor of Kapaa Town," 74, of Kapaa, Kauai, a U.S. Army sergeant who served in the Korean War, died in Wilcox Memorial Hospital. He was born in Kapahi, Kauai. He is survived by brothers Henry H., Edward T., Albert S., Paul S., Joseph K., Raymond T. and Richard S.; and sisters Grace A. Hikida, Nancy Matsuda and Edna S. Kawasaki. Services: 11 a.m. Saturday at Kauai Veterans Cemetery pavilion. Call after 9 a.m. Burial to follow. Casual attire.

 

Born on February 22, 1930, in Kapahi, Kaua‘i, Territory of Hawai‘i, James "Turk" Takao Fukushima is the son of the late Suekichi Wada Fukushima and the Koto Ebesu Fukushima. Being the fifth member in a family of thirteen children, Turk volunteered for the United States Army after graduating from Kapa‘a High School. The Korean War started and "Turk" wanted to follow in the footsteps of his older brothers, the late Harry Yukito Fukushima and the late George "Manini" Fukushima and also Henry Fukushima who were veterans of World War II. The Fukushima Family had eight sons Harry, George, Henry, James, Paul who served in the United States Army, Raymond served in the Hawai‘i Army National Guard, Joseph served in the United States Army Reserve, and Richard served in the United States Army Security Agency and in the Hawai‘i Army National Guard. Sisters, Grace Hikida and Edna Kawasaki worked as Civilians for the United States Army at Fort Shafter. The Fukushima family is a dedicated and loyal government-oriented family who are proud to serve our county.

"Turk" was one of thousand of soldiers that were wounded in the Korean conflict. As a result of his injury, a shrapnel wound in his abdomen, on October 13, 1951, James received a Bronze Star on April 22, 1952, and a Purple Heart on April 23, 1959 (a year after is discharge from the United States Army). James served in the United State Army from about December 1950 until April 18, 1958. He remained in the United States Army even after being "wounded" in the Korean War.

Turk, "Sarge," "General," the "Honorary Mayor," or whatever name that you may known him as, was the "Unsung Hero" that everybody saw almost everyday in Kapa‘a. Few people really knew what really happened to him, but took the time to stop for him to cross the street; gave him $$$ for cigarettes, not knowing that he loved to play cards at the Leehi (at Waika‘ea Canal). The merchants and people of Kapa‘a knew him well and Turk was a person that people always see as part of their daily expectations, while passing through Kapa‘a Town. Since he is no longer here with us, he will always leave a vivid picture in the people's mind when the name "Turk" is mentioned in their conversation. He had his daily routine and daily route that he would take and could be seen everywhere in Kapa‘a town walking sometime with a cane and slippers, and many times without slippers, doing the airborne shuffle. You could see him at the Shell Service Station in Waipouli, by Pono Market, and by the ABC Discount Store, which was part of his many stops in his sojourn. He did put a lot of mileage on his slippers and go through at least 12 pairs of slippers a year.

"Turk" had been living independently with brother Raymond since their mother passed away in 1987. He did his own cooking at times and also did his own laundry. James favorite food was lup chong and chicken noodle soup. He was harmless and wandered in the streets of Kapa‘a.

Everyone knows Turk as he shuffled his way around town. When he walked into a coffee shop, he was immediately served a cup of coffee, no questions asked and no conversations needed; the merchants knew what he wanted. He would sit drink his coffee and go on with his journey through town. When the Old Kinko Saimin stand was located in the old Pono Theater, he would walk in, order a bowl of saimin, and leave the saimin stand and later return to eat the saimin when it was cooled a few minutes later. On the night life, he would walk in have a sit at a pub and the bartender would place a glass of Coca-Cola in front of him, no alcohol, all without any verbal conversation, just part of his daily routine. Turk would do errands for the businessmen or just take out the trash for them in return. Another place that he would frequent would be the Leehi or "River Street" Canal. He would sometimes play cards or chat with the friends at the Leehi, or go on errands for them. He was sent once to pick up things at the store that was too much for him to carry and he ended up calling a Cab to take him back to the Leehi and had the guys pay for the cab fare.

To the friends and family of Kapa‘a Shell, ABC Discount Store, Pono Market, Pono Kai Resort, Bonnie's, Olympic Cafe and other people and businesses in Kapa‘a, a heartfelt "Thank you" from the Fukushima Family for accommodating James "Turk" all these years.

James was never married and led a simple life of meandering around Kapa‘a Town because of his injury from the Korean War. James would occasionally hitch a ride to Lihu‘e before the Kaua‘i Bus was in service. Everybody knew him and gave him a ride from and to Lihu‘e or other places on the island. Friends and family of Kapa‘a and everywhere on Kaua‘i who was touched by "Turk" will surely miss the legendary Hero, our Brother, our Uncle, "Turk."

Brother James "Turk" Takao Fukushima may appear to some of the people that have seen him on a daily basis as a homeless person; but on the contrary, he was richly blessed with many brothers and sisters as well as his many friends and other family members. His daily walk was with God, Our Heavenly Father, and today, he has finally walked the final mile to be with his Savior, Mom, Dad, and brothers Harry and George. Amen.

James' favorite

Unfortunately for Commodore James Worcestershire, the steam engine that powered the Duochronocopter failed during its maiden 'voyage'. Fortunately, however, that trip was to a time and place inhabited by creatures called 'Sleestaks'. In order to return home, James had to 'appropriate' some of the Sleestaks' time-travel enabling gemstones. Eventually, James permanently incorporated these gemstones with the original steam technology and other 'permanently borrowed' items from various points in time, including James' favorite, his panoramic-view touch screen control panel.

 

(I tried to make this sturdy enough for my son to play with while retaining the funky octagon shape and 'flower bloom' opening style body. Yeah, that didn't happen. He did however love that the steam furnace had the light-up brick function.)

Turk could be seen everyday walking around Kapaa town for many years. Usually barefoot or wearing beat up slippa's, often smoking a cig. A Korean war veteran, on occassion he would wear his fatigues with his medals. Although I haven't been around Kapaa much lately, I haven't seen him in years and I can only assume that he is no longer alive.

This was James' favorite

Album cover. Colin, Morley, James.

 

Please note: This is NOT the vehicle that carried Nathan and Shoshana. This is a separate truck that rolled near the playa, and everyone walked away from the accident. We found the vehicle around 7am on Monday morning, rolled, windows still intact, doors locked, no signs of injury.

This book of shapes, colors, and textures is one of James' favorites. Cathy gave it to him. He learned last week that he can place triangle blocks he has into either of the triangle cut outs in the book. He then started to stack the other triangles on top - - very precisely and with determination.

Nico's Feathers Shoot.

 

{these little feathers on my face are donated from my little lovebird Nico}

 

i was doing a shoot at home, then was becoming very frustrated with my limitations here, so i bugged my husband to come with me to my favorite run down building in town. he did a great job with the camera. i cant wait to get a new self timer, i feel incompetent without it, ha ha!

this one is james favorite.

... "So, the tables have turned ... my husband, James, is in SFO attending some conference and left me all alone at home. Our dogs are with James' family while he's traveling. The quiet within the house was getting to me. I'm glad that I have good friends, like Maxwell, to keep my 'alcohol' spirits up while he's gone. I'm working in MKE this week and I really need to cook for one. I was thinking of James' favorite vegetable - the parsnip ... and people know that I got to have a "two drink minimum" at dinner (it's a mandatory requirement). I didn't want to eat out alone so - I made ...

 

Roast Rack of Lamb with Whiskey Sauce: Rack of Lamb. S & P. VO. Shallot. Rosemary. Garlic. AP Flour. ‪#‎Glenlivet‬ Scotch Whisky. Chicken Broth. Parsley. US Butter. Lemon Juice. S & P.

 

Parsnip Purée: Parsnip. S & P. Heavy Cream. Thyme. Garlic. US Buttter. EVOO.

 

Skillet Broccoli with Olive Oil and Garlic: OO. Garlic. Thyme. Broccoli. S & P. Water.

 

Cooking for one is really hard. I'm not used to cooking for myself ... I made a plate for James, but I'm going to devour it anyway ... I'm a pig. Too bad, too sad." /washes this dual-sided dinner with a Whiskey Sour

Sunday morning Mommy Melinda makes Mommy McMuffins—a James favorite—for breakfast. (The Smokey Bear 'tattoo' is temporary.)

James' favorite bakery cookie.

Not very good at film

 

But I love the fact that this was ALL developed and printed by me

 

This is james favorite picture :)

 

loooks better in person. Has more contrast!

This was, of course, James' favorite group costume - these guys spent some money on their gear. Also, James' dog is named for the demon, ZUUL, who possesses Sigourney Weaver's character, Dana, in the classic 1984 movie and says, "There is no Dana, only Zuul!"

mhealy1972: I love how u have captured the encroachment of the Amish way of life with the reflection of the truck on the glass like shine of the perfectly crafted buggy.

 

elvisandme: @mhealy1972 I thought my suv against the buggy was the epitome of irony. Sunday is the sabbath they gather at one another's homes this was at my neighbors house over 30 buggys in one driveway! The kids are dressed in their best they look so picturesque playing in the yard but unless they are out of focus I can't photograph ;(

 

mhealy1972: That is disappointing that u cannot capture them in a true fashion, but very respectful that u don't try. I do love the irony...

 

candi_gal: Incredible! I love how you have the eye to take a photo like this :) Amazing

elvisandme: @f8inmemphis omg mike the story behind this is crazy I took a pic of a dead possum this morning but delete it cause it was just too gross and all day since I've been trying to get a pic of the vultures feasting on him but those crafty birds allude me so I snapped this.

 

f8inmemphis: lol great backstory! I'd say you scored anyway ... defeated the vultures!

 

elvisandme: @f8inmemphis thank youuuuuu the vultures really get under my skin....I've been trying to capture them forever they play mind games with me!!!!! The sunset is my reward for their troubles!!!

 

f8inmemphis: for the pic, on the vultures

In the distance a farmer is bailing hay...in an attempt to stay out of his way I tried snapping pics in a trench and came across these forgotten corn stalks.

Went to Saturday night performance of this adaptation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth:...incredibly awesome! We wore the mask; the card was our ticket in. This is James' favorite play. He did a Shakespeare seminar and read some of the sonnets on Sunday.

James' favorite. Actually, he likes grilled prawns even more. The best we had was at a restaurant, called Acropolis in Santorini. But we were so hungry, forgot to take a picture. I will introduce this restaurant in my later photos.

It's a foggy morning....I wish I cloud be out instead of work to snap more foggy s#instagood #instagramseries #instafamous_gallery #hubhdp #i_promote #MyTravelGram #IGS_Photos #Clubsocial ##ig_universal #webstagram #ig_masterpiece #instagrafic #spelendid_shotz #igdaily #instagood #igsg #instagramhub #james_favorites #instahub #instagramhub #instabest #iheartmtg #fab_scape #landscapes_gf #ic_landscapes #igcentric_nature #awesome_shots #igphoto #picoftheday #photooftheday hots 😒
