Hannemann visits the graves of his parents after every significant event in his life. He visited his father’s grave in Laie earlier this week.
In his speeches, Hannemann frequently mentions his father, Gustav, and mother, Faiaso, and his experience growing up in Kalihi.
Hannemann will return to Oahu Sunday.
