In Fond Remembrance of Shuseki-Shihan William Oliver


"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning."

--Author, Louis L'Amour

We thank you for all that you have given of yourself.

Shuseki-Shihan William Oliver, an inspirational person and legendary martial artist, passed away on Saturday, November 20, 2005 at his dojo. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and students at this difficult time.

A true hero is someone whose influence will stay with us forever and whose contributions are permanent. Shuseki-Shihan William Oliver has not just left a lasting imprint on the world-wide martial arts community but on the hundreds of students whom he has encouraged and believed in.

Words cannot express how much he will be missed but he will be forever remembered in our hearts.

 

Osu,
Shihan Leighton Barker
and the students of Vanderbilt Kenshikai Karate
