This one hits hard with me. Stevie and I started Kenpo around the same time back in the mid 80s. Both of us were the youngest students the school had ever enrolled at that point. I remember our sparring sessions, because I was glad that there was another kid my age that I could fight with. I knew his family well, esp his father and brothers, all were Kenpo Black Belts. I hadn't seen Steve for a while since we both went off to college; he was a great sight to see when he returned to the studio a few years ago, especially since I had been back for a little while and he was still rusty. As I expected, he returned to training full time and became an instructor, quickly he regained his form and again dominated the scene. I was shocked to receive the phone call today that he has left us. He was always a fierce competitor, a great martial artist and a true gentleman. I will miss him dearly.
