" The entrepreneurial success 

of Love’s Bakery truly

Robert Jr. and his wife, Fanny, took

 over the business. At the age of 48, 

Fanny was widowed 

with 6 children 

and a heavily mortgaged bakery. 

For 32 years, Fanny ran 

Love’s Bakery enduring fire

and the 

Republic [of Hawaii], with grace, dignity,

“ I've come to believe 

that how we choose to live 

with pain, or injustice, 

or death...

is the true measure 

of the Divine within us.”

“Surrounded by darkness 

yet enfolded in light.”

“No land is more beautiful, 

and therefore more powerful. 

That is what I believe in, Aouli.

 I believe in Hawai'i.

 I believe in the land."
