Bill Yurak.
you prepared us all to become men.
we were all your sons.
you taught us to have more good days then bad days.
you showed me about mo-town records and Archie Bell...
lucky strike cigarettes, astro burger, and soul will always remind me of u.
All of your students, athletes and associates that u mentored throughout your time will never forget you.
I'm convinced you could kick chuck Lidells ass.
you were the epitome of a man and showed us the difference between a boy and a man.
thank you for never letting me settle for that B.
thank you for showing us your amazing dancing skills.
thank you for telling us such great jokes "BOO BEES!!!"
35% of our ideas are new, thank you for letting me know.
all of your sons will miss you Mr. Yurak and you truly were a legend. like John Wayne or something, they broke the mold when they made you sir, it's upsetting that i wont be able to come back and show u all I've done but i know your watching us all now and i hope you continue to protect us and love us, Because we all love u sir.
but don't worry sir, your legacy lives on through all of us. The impact you had on any1 u touched was immediate and permanent and words cannot describe how you changed us. we came to u as boys, we left as young men.
RIP Bill Yurak.
Adios Padre.
(this was written some time back by my good friend enrique about one of the greatest humans to have ever lived, i miss and love you Mr. Yurak.)

JOHNNY ROMANO April 23rd, 1998 - September 23rd, 2008
Unity is defined as the state or fact of being united or combined into one. For many of us Johnny Romano provided just that; a combination of efforts into a state of being one. It's the mark of a true Battle Commander. And for as much as it seems there to be a tear in that fabric of unity with Johnny's early passing on September 23rd, 2008, it is indeed quite the opposite for his love of skateboarding and livingness has built bonds between us that can never be broken even in the wake of his absence.
Thank you and farewell, Johnny. The world is a far better place for you having lived and your name and your skateboarding will reverberate within us forever.
We love you. We love your family. We love your friends and we all look forward to seeing you again. And yes, we shall recognize you quite easily by your ability to unify us in a time where everything seems to be falling apart. The mark of a true Battle Commander. So, if we could borrow a phrase from a good friend of ours strictly because of you, we say to you, Roll Forever, Johnny.
