I have reached closure or pretty close to it. The terrible thing that happened was, in short, that my karate sensei died. I will always miss him because he was a great person, but he would want me to move on and become a black belt and a great martial artist. I will.

Remembering Sensei:

Sensei had this special gift that he could make everyone he met and interacted with feel special in their own way. It was an amazing gift, and that is why he was loved and will be missed by so many.

Sensei loved to abuse his students. he sat on us and picked us up and carried us by our belts. he also flipped us over his shoulder and paraded us around the room. He was such a goof.

Though I never experienced Sensei's driving habits, I am told that he a unique driving style. More like scary.

I know none of you knew him, but my sensei was a good person and a top martial artist. Sensei the perfect exaple of modesty, perseverance, self control, etiqutte, and indomitable spirit. (the karate oath) Everyone who knew him has a huge legacy to live up to. he will be missed.

Thank you for reading this...

R.I.P. Sensei J.R.
