Afioga Lealaifuaneva is endeared by his five children, grandchildren, his extended family, village of Pago Pago, the companies he started and the business community, the Catholic Church, where he worshipped, and other denominations, the political arena where he was a senator and campaign leader for the Uifaatali Peter Coleman and Tufele Li’a governments, sports, and community organizations.
Because of his involvement and financial assistance to many causes in the territory, his funeral will bring hundreds of people not just from here, but Hawaii, the mainland, and Samoa to pay their respects.
