Yes, my Dad, the founder and creator of Malama Torches is still very much around. And at 85, he is still active, creating, welding, and giving us lots of advice on the metalworking. In Hilo, which has a patois all its own, we called them lu'au torches because they were used at lu'au. We used to make them by putting a roll of toilet paper in a coffee can and pouring just enough kerosene to saturate the roll. At dark, you light them, and they burn long enough that when the last one goes out, you know it's time to go home! My Daddy! We spent Father's Day watching golf with him.
