Former Amfac President Faye
Hans Peter Faye Jr., 88, former president of Amfac and the son of a Norwegian immigrant who was a pioneer in Hawaii's sugar industry, died Saturday. He was born in Mana, Kauai, at the family homestead in the midst of the sugar fields his father helped develop. He died a few miles away in Waimea, with sugar fields still within sight. But most of his middle years were spent far from home.
Daughter Peggy Wubel of Honolulu said H. P. Jr. and his brothers and sisters were taken to Norway for their early schooling. H.P. Jr. later returned to the United States and attended The Choate School and Yale. Faye joined the Army in World War I before graduating from Yale. He served in Europe as an artillery officer.
He joined American Factors, the firm that became Amfac, in 1919, working at its San Francisco office. He moved to the Honolulu headquarters in 1934 and became vice president in 1937. He was the firm's president from 1950 to 1952, succeeding H. A. Walker, the father of Amfac's present chairman, Henry Walker, Jr.
Faye was active in community, business and political affairs, and worked during World War II to rally the business community behind education in Hawaii.
He was president of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce at the end of World War II and also served as Republican Party treasurer.
Faye served as president of the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association, where he said that the sugar industry could use technological advancement to keep Hawaii competitive with other sugar producing area while continuing to pay high wages.
Faye held positions on various boards of directors, including those, at one time, of The Advertiser and First Hawaiian Bank.
On his retirement from American Factors, Faye moved back to the family turf on west Kauai, where he helped run the family properties, which included Waimea Sugar Mill Co. and, on its creation in 1958, Kikiaola Land Co.
He was president of Kikiaola until 1982 and remained a director until his death.
Services will be held 4 p.m. Thursday at Waimea Foreign Church. Burial at the family plot in the church cemetery. Donations to the H. P. Faye Memorial Fund at the church. Survived by wife, Charlotte; daughters, Dr. Eleanor E. Faye of New York, Margaret (Peggy) Wuebel of Honolulu and Charlotte (Busby) Sharp of South Carolina; brother, Eyvind of California; sister, Margaret; nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren.
