Meet Cino Torricer

He's in love and he's all shook up.
Yes, there is an Elvis fan in the house...well, his house anyway, and it's obvious the owner has a hunka hunka burnin' love for the King of Rock and Roll.
That would be 67-year-old Cino Torricer, a diminutive man with a huge heart of aloha and stacks of memorabilia revolving around the life and times of Elvis Presley.
Got a question about the King? Ask his loyal subject.
Want to see Elvis' image? Make way for the photo albums.
Want a postcard...well, you get the picture.
From felt hats to replica belts, here is nothing this avid collector doesn't have at his fingertips.
To call this ultimate fan a pack rat would be an understatement. The room, excuse me...the shrine, is filled with mugs, tee-shirts, newspaper articles, dolls and other assorted items a person would have only if their love for Elvis was as deep as it was wide.
Cino had bought two complete Elvis collections before he slowed down to a simmer and started an official Elvis "Rock-A-Hula Fan Club in Hilo during the early 1990s.
"I'm involved with my Elvis things because I love his music," he said. "I collect his memorabilia because I've always been a collector at heart."
Cino pays particular attention to Elvis' concerts and movies made in Hawaii. This includes the 1961 hit film, "Blue Hawaii," filmed on the islands of Oahu and Kauai. His 1962 film "Girls, Girls, Girls" was filmed locally in Milolii. "Paradise Hawaiian Style", filmed in 1966, was a follow-up to Elvis' undying success with the local culture.
More importantly, Cino attended and taped both of Elvis' 1972 and 1973 concerts at the Honolulu International Center on Oahu. Unfortunately, Cino misplaced the reel-to reel recordings, until recently, when he found them and was able to make a CD to share with other fans.
Cino has also developed new skills to enhance his fascination. He learned how to use the computer and has used it to create graphics and artwork with Elvis as the centerpiece. He recently won a fan appreciate award as a "fan favorite" for his tireless efforts in creating newer images of Elvis from older media.
And, if that wasn't enough, each year, during the anniversary of Elvis' death on August 16, 1977, Cino flies to Memphis, Tennessee with thousands of other followers to attend various events during "Elvis Week" at Graceland. This includes an open house reception, trivia contest and concerts given by those who played with Elvis.
During the week, this ultimate fanatic, donned in a tropical red and white flower hat and bright Elvis tee-shirt also watches many of Elvis' old movies, takes special tours, participates in a scavenger hunt on the property, enjoys a Gospel Brunch.
Cino said it's a special time of comaraderie for those who love Elvis as much as he does. He brings bags of chocolate covered macadamia nuts and business cards to pass out during the week long event.
"The people you meet at Graceland are so kind," he said. "I meet a lot of nice people who are also Elvis fans. They are just like the people in Hawaii. They are very warm, open and loving."
Asked if he's planning on giving up his obsession any time soon the answer is a firm "no" -- his love is both tender and true.
"I am a part of Elvis Presley's ohana," Cino said. "I'll always remember the memories Elvis left us. I am a fan for life. It keeps me busy. It keeps my mind going."
