Not sure what to say?

Sensei Stankevich was a Mentor for the Youth of our Community. My kids had the oportuniy to study Shotokan Katate at his Lompoc Dojo over the years. He is missed and will be remembered

I knew Sensei George through the shared space of his dojo with the kung fu studio. From what I knew of George, he was the kind of person who was dedicated to his causes, especially the practice of karate, opinionated, wise, fair. The type of person you would want in your corner. Rest in peace George.

I was one of his students for a couple of months he was a kind sensei my he rest in peace.

May he rest in peace.

He was a wonderful brother to me. We would talk on the phone for hours. I wish we could have seen more of each other he will be dearly missed My thoughts and prays go out to Michiko, Debra and Paula. Love Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Jack

I'm very sad to hear Sensei George passing. My deepest condolences to the family. Sensei George was a man of honor and his passion for shotokan karate ran deep within his life. I started studying with Sensei back in the 1990's. We went to many karate tournaments and the Las Vegas tournament was a favorite one we attended many times. We kept in touch over the years and with very long phone conversations.

We will miss you Sensei. My condolence to his family and friends.
