As one of the "Island Boys", Mr.Tabata would always talk pidgin to me and steal extra moments to bs about food, surf and the way things are back home. It is an honor to be one of the many who learned from him.
RIP SGM.

Rest in Peace, SGM. Thank you for your lifetime of service and sacrifice. Your impact on so many is beyond comprehension. I will always remember the look on your face and the tear in your eye when I gave you your bullet pen. You will ALWAYS be missed and NEVER forgotten. Give my son a hug and tell him I will see him soon ...

Special Forces peers mourn soldier's passing

"Ernest K. Tabata is a name many won't forget, even after his death.
Mr. Tabata died Aug. 10 at UNC Hospitals.
It's been said that every Special Forces engineer on active duty was trained by him.
In 2004, Thomas "Pappy" Jones, a retired sergeant major, who had worked with Mr. Tabata for years, told The Fayetteville Observer that there's an old saying in Asia that after a man dies, his spirit lives as long as somebody remembers his name...."
His name will be remembered by many.
