Our good friend Honoluludesktop has passed away.

I'm surprised to learn he was 65...I always liked that picture of him that he used, sitting at this desk, sort of gave me the impression he was endlessly chipping away at stuff, always there,.....reminds me of Cellist Pablo Casals on being asked why he still practices 3 hours a day at 93 years old:
"I’m beginning to notice some improvement".
bon voyage honolulu...

It's always sad to hear that someone you once had dealings with has passed away- even if you didn't necessarily agree with them.
RIP Honolulu

Very sad news.
My thoughts are with his family. -

I registered just to say this, and my account will probably soon be "purged" for not giving a real SketchUcation number or something, but I still will read your replies. I am close with his daughter. Just came from his funeral service. It was held Dec. 9th on his birthday. Never got to meet him but after hearing about what kind of person he is I am actually very sad that I didn't... He would be 67 today. I got curious and googled his name and found this among his karate history which I admire. To you he was known as Honoluludesktop, to Japan International Karate Center he was known as Sensei Wesley. A former student of his gave a speech and concluded it by giving his final bow and "OSU!" (http://www.24fightingchickens.com/2005/08/29/appropriate-usage-of-osu/) before being reseated. Something was said by the priest at the service that stuck with me. When someone passes, they live on through those who they influenced in life. I guess this is where I bow. OSU!

Sad News, Be now in Peace Wesley. Thank you, 808 to share with us theses moments.

Even though we never met in person, we did meet in spirit and traded some hi-fives online. He seemed like a kind person who did not take kindly to social injustice. I willingly bow to this sensei of SU, Karate, and personal wisdom.

RIP.
