Senator Lutu Tenari Fuimaono. Politician, 74, served as legislative body's president since 1996: Territorial Senate President Lutu Tenari Fuimaono died at home Sunday at the age of 74. The cause of death wasn't disclosed, but Fuimaono had been ill and had traveled to Hawai'i recently for medical treatment. Fuimaono was the longest serving senator in the history of the U.S. territory. His dedicated and exemplary sevice dates back to 1977. Fuimaono served for 19 years as senator before being elected president in 1996. He also served three terms in the territorial House of Representatives before being elected to the Senate. He served in the US Air Force from 1954 to 1958 and moved back to American Samoa in the mide 1960s. "
Tenari's charming wit and devotion to his people of Samoa was a powerhouse in positive and upbeat in family up bringing. As a politician and cultural protector, he was a Tama lelei. His positive and enthusiatic lifestyle made the big impact on my life and many others. Remember the late 60's and early 70's, waking up to the voice on the radio that stormed throuth the territory, a program called Tama Lelei (Good Father)? It was the winner...
