Here's Jesse doing his thing last year, even with a leg injury - a true warrior.

 

So sad to see another of the old guard leave us.

 

Aaaaaw, Sifu sooo much respect for posting this thread, I was deeply saddened to hear of this news when I was told, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart to the heart of my bottomXXXXxxXXXX

 

A great loss to the JKD and martial arts community; he will be missed.
Rest in peace.

 

Aaaaaw Aaron, that was gorgeous, all respects and peace xXx

 

Sad news, R.I.P. JG. I met and trained a few times with him back in the early 80's while stationed at Ft. Lewis,Wa. (Tacoma). Another original Bruce Lee student, Jerry Poteet passed away in January this year and Larry Hartsell who I trained with while he lived in Charlotte,NC passed away in 2007. Yes the first generation is slowly passing on. We will miss them all! Master Fahy

 

Another legend gone, but not forgotten.Peace and respect.

 

RIP Jesse Glover. A mentor and inspiration to use all.

 

Oh no, only just seen this and I hadn't heard about Jerry P either.

Sad sad days for MA.... they were great fighters and a fitting legacy for great uncle Bruce.

RIP

 

We lost a legend, a friend and mentor today....The legendary Joe Lewis today! R.I.P. my friend! Master Fahy

 

Another of Bruce Lee's first generation students has passed away yesterday....Bob Bremer....R.I.P. Master Fahy

 

Sad.

We should just start a general memorial category ...

 

I agree. Unfortunately, a lot of the remaining pioneers of the arts in North America are starting to pass away.

 

True how true! Seems like yesterday when all these martial artists were the main stream of our arts! Master Fahy
