Jim Kaneshiro - Celebration of Life Gathering (Jun 05, 2023)

 

It is with great sadness to inform those who were not aware of the passing of former HNLSW Flight Attendant, Jim Kaneshiro, on April 7, 2023. Jim began his career for United Airlines in Honolulu as a Qualified Japanese Speaker on June 12, 1988, and soon found himself in a lifelong role of fighting to make improvements to our unique profession.

Elected to serve as the Local Council President of Council 14 HNL, his 2nd term was cut short by the tumultuous surplus of 300 peers in HNL in 1998. Jim, like many of his peers, was sent to another base to continue his career. Based in IAD, he utilized his talents in Grievance and Mobilization and was instrumental in many campaigns to organize.

Jim leaves behind his beloved daughter, Lani Kaneshiro, and sisters, Merle, Lynne, and Annie. Private services for family will be held on June 17, 2023. Condolences may be sent to Lani and his sisters at:

167 Iliwai Drive
Wahiawa, Hi. 96789


A Celebration of Life for Jim has been organized for friends and colleagues at United and AFA will be held on the same day.
