Dai Shihan Holck was always cheerful and friendly every time I saw him. He was quick to joke with me and loved people. His legacy will be carried on through the Kodenkan of Tucson. Even more so his character is revealed through his sons and daughter who will carry on the tradition of excellence in martial arts instruction. All my best to his family and friends.

His Visions provided the Sight of the Journey Ahead and his discipline provided the path of structure to see it to fruition. His mentor-ship and a remarkable way with people offered True Guidance and Sincere Love for the Success of his Family, Students and Instructors. He will be Greatly Missed! Gone but Never Forgotten!
