A Utah family is mourning the loss of a father of three who disappeared while snorkeling in Hawaii.
Phil Bailey, 58, of Bountiful, was visiting Oahu with his two brothers when, on Aug. 22, he disappeared in Shark's Cove.
"It was just beautiful, fantastic conditions, beautiful fish, and we were in an area that has lots of canyons underneath the water, and the water was just crystal clear," Stan said. Stan said he checked with their brother Merrill who was on shore, but he hadn't seen Phil return either, so he returned to the water and began searching while Merrill called 911. Stan fears his brother went into diabetic shock and slipped under the water.

"You couldn't sit with him anywhere without making three or four friends. He would just start chatting with the guy next to him and become their best friend," he said.
