An open Letter to Master Gordon:
Master Gordon,
You have given us a lineage of greatness that is our strength and spirit...... We have suffered a great loss.
Like you, Master Massaroni has touched the life and soul of each of us, making us better human beings
and forever imprinting our minds and hearts with respect, admiration, and love.
As deep a loss his passing is to each of us we can only imagine the impact on you.
Your teachings and spirit can be seen in all your students, but it burned most brightly in Master Massaroni
Together we will keep his spirit alive and forever remember him and the warmth of his presence
You can already see him in so many of his students.
Respectfully
A Student
We intend to make a donation in Master Massaroni’s name to
have a pillar in the new WTSDA HQ’s named after him.
We will be selling T-shirts in his memory soon to accomplish this.
