Mark, Chris, Karen and Donnie, and all family...so very sorry for your unexpected loss. I knew Bob for many years, but our friendship bonded while doing Uechi Ryu Karate in Truro under Sensi and friend Duncan Macleod.It was no surprise that Bob landed on to Uechi Ryu as it is only one of a very select few martial arts with genuine roots that run deep into History in China. It was a pure and mostly an undiluted martial art. We punished each other often in class, as we did a lot of physical conditioning, arms, legs bodies, and I am sure Bob likely complained at times about a sore body from class. He and I often would be paired up on those occasions. Like everything Bob did he was a dedicated student and he gave his total energy, mind, body and Spirit to his time in class. Bob achieved a high rank from his time there, and I know he was proud of that accomplishment. Every time we would meet in Truro, our conversation would end up on that topic, and the hope that Sensi Duncan who had retired from teaching would re start senior friendly classes, that would be a bit kinder to aging bodies. Bob was not one to brag, he was a gentle man, but he was a tough customer of grit, and sinew, and mental toughness. I can guarantee that any one who might have decided to challenge him physically would have been in for a great surprise, but one would never have known that from his demeanour. I will cherish those memories until he and I can meet again and relive them once more. I leave you with a short poem called Ascension that speaks to my belief that we do not end here, we just shift dimensions. Blessings to all. Ray Lindsay Truro Ascension And if I go, while you're still here... Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure --behind a thin veil you cannot see through. You will not see me, so you must have faith. I wait for the time when we can soar together again, --both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, Just whisper my name in your heart, ...I will be there. "Ascension" Copyright ©1987, Colleen Corah Hitchcock
