Sorry to hear of Sensei Hickson's passing. He and I received our Black Belts around the same time at the Hamzy's Ketsu-Ka Karate School in the late 80s. We would always go across the street to Two Guy's Pizza with Sensei Jim Nightengale, Sensei John Hamzy and Sensei Ann Baca (Toughie) Man, we had some laughs back then! All around great, funny, warm guy. RIP Sir, Oss..

So sorry to hear for Joe's passing. I really enjoyed doing Karate with him. We enjoyed so many trips to Maine and other tournaments. I know that he will be missed greatly by all of his friends and family. My deepest sympathy to all of his family.
