Bill was such a happy person and you would never see him in an upset mood. He always made me laugh when I went to purchase goodies. Thanks Bill for everything, the laughs, the candy, and the memories that shall remain in our hearts forever. May you watch over us. Once again, thank you Bill for serving us all these years!

I was born & raised in Hawaii & went to Wahiawa Elementary & the Japanese School too. We moved to the Mainland in 1989 (almost 20 years ago) & my older sister & I still talk about B-sweet. I remember that even though my sister & I never really had much money, Bill always made sure that we walked out with a treat. My favorite was always Big Hunk. You can't really find it here in North Carolina, but every time I see one, I have to buy it & I always think of B-Sweet. Thank you for remembering Bill & his store as landmarks in Wahiawa, HI.

We used to live on Cypress Avenue and on Lei Awapuhi Street which were both within walking distance of the store. Bill always had a smile for us kids. He was simply "The Best". I went to visit him several years ago for I HAD to buy some candy and ONLY from B-Sweet for old time sakes. And I was amazed that he remembered me. As a little kid, the store looked so huge and when I went back a few years ago I realized it wasn't that big but it was big on aloha...thanks to Mr. Bill. Thank you for the wonderful memories that all of us will forever treasure.
