Walter Lappert, Ice Cream Magnate, Dead at 82

The Honolulu Advertiser:

Walter Lappert, 82, the ice cream magnate with an Ernest Hemingway look and a Kangol hat, died Monday. Walter Lappert went to Kaua'i to ease into retirement, but ended up building an ice cream empire, with stores in six states.

Lappert arrived on Kaua'i in 1983 ostensibly to retire, but he set about building an ice cream empire instead, using what he said were old family recipes for super-rich ice creams with butterfat ratios of 16 percent to 18 percent.

...

He sold them initially out of his small factory along Kaumuali'i Highway in Hanapepe, then through Lappert-brand shops -- dozens of them in Hawai'i, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. There are also franchises in Japan.

I have fond memories of stopping for Lappert's Ice Cream in Hawaii.
