Sandy Hook resident Cory Pineau (in the grass skirt) has successfully battled Hodgkin’s disease. The 14-year-old was recently caught off guard by family, friends and Make-A-Wish volunteers during a dinner party where he learned that his wish for a family vacation in Hawaii was just days away. The Pineaus — from left, Connor, Katherine, Randy, Cory, and Ryan — were joined by, continuing from left, family friend Nick Yarosis, and Make-A-Wish Wish Granters Stacey Lavelle and Amy Ross, along with additional friends on November 1 to celebrate Cory’s remission from Hodgkin’s with a pu’iwa, which is Hawaiian for surprise.
