The death of David Hulihee in the month of July 2019 leaves vacant seats on Alexander & Baldwin and First Hawaiian Inc. subsidiary First Hawaiian Bank. Hulihee, who was chairman and president of the family-owned Royal Contracting Co. Ltd. in Honolulu, died July 22, 2019. Hulihee joined the board of Alexander & Baldwin in 2013, a month after A&B acquired Grace Pacific LLC. At the time, Hulihee had been CEO of the road-paving contractor since 2008 and was its chairman until the A&B acquisition. He stepped down from that role in 2015. Alexander & Baldwin doesn't intend to replace Hulihee on its board.
