Dear David,
I cannot find the right words to describe what I felt when I heard that my dear friend Steve Arneil passed away. Steve and I met in the early years of Kyokushin in the 1960s. He had just returned from Japan. During the many trainings we did together, he motivated me in a way only he could. Since then, we have made many memories at different occasions all over the world. I loved working with him and cherish the moments we had together.
Together we lived the Kyokushin life. Teaching Kyokushin all over the world, aiming to make the world a more beautiful place and making people stronger and happier in life through Kyokushin. When I think of Steve, I experience deep feelings of friendship.
I will cherish his memory and wish his wife and love ones, you and all IFK members throughout the world all the strength to bear this loss.
Sincerely,
Antonio Piñero KWF President
