~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joe Lewis Fighting Systems Remembering Joe Lewis Sunday, August 31, 2014 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear JLFS Black Belts, Associates, and Friends: Two years ago today, we lost our friend, our mentor, our coach, our brother. Joseph Henry Lewis was called home by God at 10:45am on Friday, August 31, 2012, after a courageous 13 1/2 month battle with brain cancer. Joe Lewis achieved many great things during his shorter than expected life. From being the worlds very first Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion to twice being named as the greatest karate fighter of all time by his peers to becoming one of the most sought after professors of martial arts on the planet. But those of us who knew Joe best know that he always considered his two greatest accomplishments to be his beautiful children - his son, Cameron, and his daughter, Kristina. Joe taught us many things while he was with us. He taught us how to fight strategically and with conviction, he taught us how to win with humility and grace, he taught us how to grow from our defeats, he taught us how to teach with care and compassion, he taught us how to live with love and passion, and in the end, he taught us how to die with courage and dignity. The world will never know another Joe Lewis. But we are confident that the Joe Lewis we knew will never be forgotten. On this two-year anniversary of our dear friends passing, wed like to take a moment to remind Joe that his memory endures, that we love him and miss him, and that we are so very grateful for the the opportunity to be his guys. To honor Joes memory, we ask you to observe a moment of silence at 10:45am this morning. Godspeed, Big Joe. Until we meet again.... Sincerely yours, Dennis J.
