It is with great sadness to say that we have lost the greatest gymnastics coach, technician , mentor of our time.
He made a huge impact on all of us in this sport, world wide.
From the Soviet Union, Canada, Korea, USA and other countries his techniques and training methods created Olympic Gold medalist Kyle Shewfelt and Olympic Team members Brad Peters, Lorne Bobkin and a long long list of highly successful coaches who studied his methods.

I will miss him.
He will be missed.
