Rev. Elder Masalosalo Sopoaga, outspoken minister passes away at 73

He is one of a few pillars of our community who will be hard to forget. O se ta'ita'i ua iloga galuega lelei i totonu ole tatou nuu o Pago Pago. Ose leo e tu'itu'i pea i manatu ma mafaufauga o Tama ma Tina ina ia loto faatasi ma ia fealofani . O se leo malosi ile ta'ita'iina ma a'oa'i o amio ole tupulaga. O se leo finafinau mo faai'uga lelei ma saogalemu I totonu ole Ekalesia faapea le atunu'u atoa. He will be greatly missed. Condolences to the family. Rest in Peace and Love.

My man--my man, talofa e, ua moe le toa, e le mafai ona galo oe i mea lelei sa e faia! Still remember you in the theological college when you were our Pule in Malua; remember you during our gatherings, remember you when we played golf. Talofa e, e te filo lava i le mea matou te iai, ona o lou loto fiafia e mafuta. E te aga malie, ma fai upu malie, e te tali mai foi pe a ou vala'au atu oe i lou suafa tafao o Maze, ma ou fofoga ataata. E le galo oe Tama. Simoe, loto tele, e te le o tiga na o oe, o loo matou manatuaina foi oe ma le fanau. Faamafanafana le agaga o le Matai sili i o outou loto faanoanoa.
We are with you always. Manuia le malaga Maze!

I love you uncle....

Today is his family service in Pago Pago before he is transported to his church in Tafuna. The Church youth were up and about cleaning and decorating the roadside with coconut leaves, ava pui and other decorations some families have fine mats surrounding the front of their houses with his pictures. A high tribute worthy of a great man…Ia manuia lau malaga.
