I have just heard from Meifu Shinkage-ryu shuriken circles that Mr. Danny Fletcher has passed away. Rest in peace. お気の毒に (My sympathies)
The far too few times I was able to meet Danny in person he was nothing but far more kind and generous than he needed to be. He was sincere to a fault, something the world could use more of, and now has less of.
I only met him a few times years ago in Japan but was saddened to learn recently that he was in hospice. The news of his passing is unfortunate. Aric
