Chick, hard to believe we lost you 5 years ago, it seems like only yesterday. There's no understanding why such a talented, friendly, outgoing, personable, giving person like yourself is taken from us at such a young age?!? You left such a hole in all of our lives that will never be filled. I'm sure your at a better place instructing others how to be better people and training them in Shorin-Ryu Shidokan. Till we meet again my brother, my thoughts and prayers are with you always......

Kyoshi, I think of you often. We are so grateful to this day for our karate experiences & skills. You were patient& kind to our family and we learned well from you and the dojo. You are missed and left an incredible legacy for your wife & children and all those who respected and loved you.
Happy Birthday May 3rd.

Chick you have always been a member of our family. I've missed not seeing you in recent years because of our busy schedules but you've always been in my thoughts and prayers and you always will be. You've always been more than a friend, you've been a brother, and my heart aches at your loss. Till we meet again my brother, I will never forget you....

Kyoshi, we are honored to have known you. Thank you for the discipline you instilled, the love of karate, your dojo that welcomed our family in and touched our hearts when we had to move(to Japan!)
In Japanese, matane(mah-tah-neh), rather "see you later" is easier to say than goodbye... Matane Kyoshi...we'll see you again.

Chickie was a happy child full of sunshine and song. He was the composer of our family song The Magic Garden which I sang to my children and now to my grandchildren. My sister Dottie and our mother Memae Gillard were so proud of their boy! We send our sympathy, love and prayers to Victoria, his children and Marlo. Love, Auntie Linda , Trina, Andrea Nicole and families. God rest Chickies soul.

Chick, as I see from all of the comments online, you have touched many lives here. You have gone a long way from westerly even if not physically. I know that you are teaching karate in heaven and with your parents, but just know that you are missed here. I hope to see you again someday. Peace my friend

Chick was such a giant, but had a kind soul. My daughter had her birthday party at the studio, and Chick came by with a dozen roses. He was so thoughtful and kind. We will never forget him. Rip. The Cronin Family

Words can not describe this great lose of a great man and just plain "good guy"

Words cannot adequately express my feelings. Chick touched the lives of so many people in his short time here and I consider myself and my family very blessed to have been able to be a part of his life. May God watch over his family and keep them strong. Remember there are a lot of people who will always be there for you.
