PASSING OF DICK SEVERANCE 5/18/09
On May 18, 2009, the Bujinkan lost one of its finest members to cancer. Shihan Dick Severance was known throughout the Bujinkan as one of its finest teachers and its premier weaponsmakers. A former member of the UDT (forerunner of the Navy SEALS), Dick had the experience to back up his teaching. He also had the gentleness and patience to convey his insights on the Bujinkan to all participants. He will be greatly missed.
The Hidden Mountain Bujinkan Dojo was fortunate to have a great relationship with Shihan Severance. As former students of Shihan Severance, both Shihan Karl and Carol Koch remained great friends with Dick and were honored to be considered part of Dick's family. Both were honored to speak at his funeral and share their love for him.
To honor their friend and mentor, a permanent memorial to Dick will be placed in the dojo. Additionally, a memorial seminar will be held in late fall hosted by Shihan Karl Koch and Shihan Jay Zimmerman. Details will be provided at a future date.
