The late Great Grandmaster Robert "Bob" Edwards


	Pictured below on the far right, Grandmaster Bob Edwards This page updated last on 07/28/05 Pictured above is the Late Great Grandmaster Robert "Bob" Edwards. This picture was taken at the 2003 World Head of Family Sokeship Council International Hall of Fame, just three month before his passing. We really enjoyed the company of Grandmaster "Bob" Edwards. He was always very nice and willing to talk to anyone. He was always available for conversation and was always willing to give advice. He and Soke Casarez were like brothers, Soke Casarez and Grandmater Edwards were the best of friends and had been friends for over 40 years. I considered Grandmaster Bob Edwards a good friend. I've known him for nearly 20 years. During that 20 years he would come into Soke's dojo to hang out and talk. I was there when he awarded Soke his 10th Degree Black Belt. During the last eight years that I attended the World Head of Family Sokeship Council, Grandmaster Bob Edwards was always there. Last year (2004) was so empty at the W.H.O.F.S.C. Hall of Fame with out "Bob' being there. I felt his presence there anyway. Grandmaster Frank Sanchez recognized the passing of Grandmaster Robert "Bob" Edwards at last years W.H.O.F.S.C. Hall of Fame event. Soke Casarez lost it, and with tears in his eyes he had to leave the room. Bob's passing has been very difficult on Soke Casarez. It has also been very difficult on me. I will always remember all the good times we had at the Hall of Fame event, and the trips out to eat at the TGI Friday's resturant. He will be greatly missed by everyone, especially me. Please say a prayer in your heart for Bob. Master/Shidoshi-Ho Mark Murdock Bob with "The Bone Crusher" a famous wrestler from the past.

The 2004 Hall of Fame was not the same without him. Walter Lee Brothers 1964 to 2007 In the Picture below Is Lee at his happiest. Lee was always happy to train with his daughter Kira.

Lee always made such strange faces when he had a technique demonstrated on him. This was a going phraze in our dojo when Lee trained on a regular basis in Manabi-Masho Jujitsu. Lee was always very supportive of his daughter Kira. This picture was taken duing the last part of her Kobushi-Do Shodan test.
