The Liliko’i Lounge

A hui hou Dear Friend… A terrible hole was made in all our hearts and lives yesterday. It was always such a great joy when Tiki Rob came to visit The Liliko’i Lounge and we always made sure he had a seat at the bar. It is just what you do for Royalty and Rob was absolutely Royalty. The path he forged for, not only “Tiki Artists” around the world but for any Artist, was a true blueprint for excellence. His work is unparalleled and his life history reads like a dream come true for anyone who pursues their passions. To know him was a great privilege and we were honored when he told us that The Liliko’i Lounge was his “favorite Tiki Bar.” I will never forget the way he simply smiled when I told him, “You know, it doesn’t escape us that we are extremely fortunate to have you so close by. Just to be able to hear your stories and learn the occasional insights into your work.” What a “treasure” you are Rob! Thank you for your kindness, your generosity and most of all your friendship. I wish we’d had more time with him but, I’m so grateful for the time we had. Rob lives on through his legacy of work and through his family and friends and, I am so grateful we have Kristy and Scott who share so many stories with Rob. Rest well my friend. Thanks for all the wonderful friends you’ve brought with you to The Liliko’i Lounge. Some of which have become good friends to us as well. We are going to miss you so very much but, we know that we will see you again someday in that beautiful Tiki Lounge in the Ultimate Paradise. #tikirob #tikiart #tikiartist #tikiartwork #hometikibar #hometikibarbuild #hometikibars #tikibar #tikibars #hometikilounge #tikilounge #thelilikoilounge #lilikoilounge #hawaii #hawaiilife #maui #mauihawaii #mauilife #mauimeadows @bahooka_bob @optcenter @tikirob @tikipop
