From Mark W - Los Angeles, CA

With the passing of our dear friend, comrade and teacher, I have learned a new definition of the word "generosity":

Bill Hughes. What's beem washing over me today is such a deeper awareness and sincere appreciation for what it means to unconditionally share your life’s passion with someone, regardless of who they are, where they live, where they've been and where they are going...

Someone said, "Bill would wrestle anybody..." More importantly, Bill gave of his time, his wisdom and his knowledge to anyone who asked. I am a better wrestler for knowing Bill, and a much better man.

Thanks, Bill...for all you have done for the countless number of men whose talents and dreams you nurtured along the way. I have never meant it more when I say, "We couldn't have done it without ya". RIP.
