Dear Chuck, I am saddened to learn of the passing of your dear father. It sounds like his good life was well lived and he worked up til the end of his career. Unfortunately I will not be in town to attend Saturday's service as I'm leaving Friday for Cincinnati to attend my grand daughter's high school graduation. Truly, Terry

It is with great sorrow that we have lost another longtime Isshinryu practitioner. One thing that you could always count on was a good story from Mr. Wallace when ever you saw him. That will be missed . To his family my prayers and condolences go out to you.
