Thank you for sharing your experience. I don't know the name of the classmate, but I know sadly Bruce's best friend Taky Kimura used to tend his grave until he too passed away. Taky's son is carrying on his father's teaching, based on what Bruce taught him (Jun Fan Gung Fu). As long as we remember those who made a difference to our lives, they never die. Peace.

Thank you for your comments. As to "Bruce Lee family photos", there are so many you can view, just by typing that phrase in your search browser on the Internet. Magazines, Fan Clubs etc, all have photos that you can buy. New unseen photos also appear from time to time. It's just a matter of looking online periodically. Good luck to you.

My pleasure! I hope in a small way I have contributed to his spirit living on, as he still inspires me to this day.

You're welcome. Had to do it to preserve it for posterity, for Linda, Bruce, Brandon and Shannon. I wanted to do something to show appreciation for all they did and are still doing to encourage us to be better human beings.

@@billiam3411 I agree 100%! Hearing her stories while looking at the photographs and the realization that she is still at the house in Hong Kong not that long after losing Bruce. It moved me emotionally to say the least!

Thanks for listening

I'd kept the cassette safe for the past 40 odd years and I'm glad I did. I think it gives a better idea of the kind of person Bruce really was and he certainly loved his family. I realised after I had put it on KZfaq that the first part should really be at the end, but the whole content is in the same order it was on the tape. I hope you enjoyed it.

You're very welcome. I'd scoured KZfaq and didn't find it, so for posterity I posted it on my Channel. It was great putting it together and hearing it again myself. Makes one appreciate Bruce and his family even more. Thank you.

@@billiam3411 100%. It’s a great interview. Again, I appreciate you posting it

I hope you are successful in your quest. Something I also would like to do in future.

Thank you for the information. Should help alot. Take care.

Pictures of him at parties/social events do show him enjoying himself and he would always please his friends, colleagues and the film companies by attending, making the effort. He was apparently very good company and so interested in people. Colleagues talk about sitting down with Bruce, talking Martial Arts and finding several hours have elapsed and they have come away with new insight. His daughter Shannon mentioned in an article that Bruce loved to laugh. He was so generous with his time to a great many people.

@@billiam3411 Yes, I know! I'm a Bruce fan! and is almost always seen laughing, that was a good thing! I think Shannon has the same laugh as her father. In addition, he stayed close to the people who pleased him.❤️

I can relate to Bruce that, I enjoy socializing when I socialize, only the close one knows that I prefer spending time by myself and I don't need to step out at all. Most people only see our social moments when we are having fun in public. A term called "Extroverted Introvert" is what I can think of.

I'm like that too. I get it. I like spending time to myself. That's how I learned to draw and play saxophone 🎷. I like being around people from time to time in a social setting or when performing on my sax. Moreso when I was younger than now.

We are lucky that we still have Bruce and Brandon's films and interviews to look back on. And in Bruce's case, his teachings, writings and art work, which showcase what a splendid human being he was. Shannon has that same spark and is keeping her father's legacy alive for future generations by her thought provoking and inspirational presentations, based on Bruce's teachings. Bruce was all about improving one's self, be it physically and/or spiritually. Linda was the first to keep his flame alive and followed his philosophies, which helped her cope after he passed, being a young widow with two young children. All in all, a truly inspiring family.

@@billiam3411 What can you add to that, nothing! You couldn't have said it any better.

Birşey değil. Umarım beğenmişsinizdir

RIP his reputation down but give him his props at the same time huh? The negative stuff you could've kept to yourself.

Lol...what an idiotic comment.

could be, he got caught up in the lifestyle, the drugs, the women. trying to be like his buddy steve mcqueen. a shame.

Hollywood in fact did. Even his own son was taken on the 20th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death.

@@KenMasters. No he wasn't.

Neden kıskandılarmı oğlununda hollyvoodda ölmesi tuhaf değilmi holuvud brus'u hiç sevmedi değilmi.

Bruce was a human being. We all have faults, but we strive to improve ourselves and learn from our mistakes. I don't want my channel to become a debating forum as to what killed Bruce. Instead, I would like to celebrate what he achieved in his brief but extraordinary life. Please, no more debates on his death, but instead celebrate his life. This is the last response I will make on this subject.

@@billiam3411 Bruce was always teaching about expressing oneself honestly if someone impedes this by hindering other men to express themselves both physically and vocally what does that say about men You expressed your opinion to only talk about the good things of Bruce lee and am i wrong because i do the latter yes he was a human being and had faults but if we admit those faults and learn from them it makes us better people and not make the same mistakes others make I hope you understand this i did learn something from my Grandmaster Bruce Lee don.t abuse drugs aside from his Tao of jeet kune do but I am about my own Tao of me kune do and I express myself honestly to myself and others.

I think you are wrong in what you say and are mistakenly believing all the negative press he has been given of late. He had a physical check up not long before he died and was told he had the body of an 18 year old. Bruce took great care of his body. There is so much misinformation surrounding his death, even now after 49 years. Look at all that he did accomplish in his life in the face of adversity. He was a remarkable human being and his legacy will live on because of his wife and daughter.

May he rest in peace but his Spirit lives on 🙏

not really, Tom Bleecker (if you believe him) claims he had access to Lee's medical records and that examination was superficial. such as blood pressure. He believes that it was the excess cortisone intake that caused kidney failure, which in turn caused swelling of the brain. all my life I thought Bruce Lee didn't take steroids or was very addicted to hard drugs but these letters raise a lot of questions. Personally, I think you have to be careful what Tom says. it would also be useful to get to the source and do an interview so we can all hear what Bob Baker's wife or daughter has to say. when you look at the last days of Bruce Lee, you can see his amazing health but it can also be superficial. We know he knew something was wrong with him, that he might die, he told Shih Kien about it. Interesting.

@Michael Let us concentrate on what Bruce Lee achieved in his lifetime and the wonderful legacy of his books, philosophy, films, poetry etc . The debate about his death will carry on regardless. It has for the past 49 years. Bruce was such a positive person and he deserves better. Just my opinion.

@Enver Görgülü İstediğinizi yapamam. Bana yaptığınız gibi, belirli bir videoyu yayınlayan kişiyle iletişime geçmelisiniz. Ve bunu nasıl yapacağımı anlamam biraz zaman aldı.

@@billiam3411 evet bayağı aydınlandım bunun için çok teşekkür ederim. Siz iyi bir insansınız bana önem verdiniz.

Hmm, same. It seems like there is a lack of surprise and sorrow. It is like the death was anticipated. Is this what you mean?

I don't understand your message. Are you in one of the photos? Or do you know the person? I am intrigued.

I disagree, philosophy and film did go in vein, " Enter the Dragon"

Actually he wasn't sick he had a sizable drug problem based on the Bob Baker letters Grandmaster Lee started using various drugs when he was introduced in Hollywood he taught many actors James Coburn was one he used various drug in fact many of the celebrities used various drugs so Bruce felt to fit in with these celebrities he did what they did to get close to them when he returned to Hong Kong he was asking for drugs from Bob Baker constantly Linda knew this she even ordered drugs for Bruce on many occasions so she knew he had a drug problem and a sizable cocaine habit now please don't take this revealing as me hating on the Lee family that's the furthest thing from the truth Bruce was an innovator in many things he introduced Chinese martial arts to the World his physical prowess was above others and maybe his drug usage contributed to this Grandmaster Bruce Lee died of Cerebral Adema this is swelling by fluid on the brain cocaine abuse can cause this Bruce was sick but it wasn't by disease it was caused by dehydration and cocaine use if you think I lie go read the Bob Baker drug letters.if you don't know who he is was he was the Russian in fist of fury named petrov Bruce fought him at the end of the movie. its sad to learn this about the man I admired and respected but it wasn't a total surprise I mean it was Hollywood drug capital of the Rich and lamous.Shannon is usually very vociferous when it comes to her father but strangely to this day there's been no comment from the Shannon camp.

@ray h. Bruce wasn't untouchable, I enjoy his films but there were many better martial artists in HK and the States. He was innovative and a great self-publicist but the untouchable myth is outright hilarious.

@@Grandmastergav86 "but there were many better martial artists in HK and the States" pfftt, funny, really funny.

It’s common for people to use laughter in times of grief. Humor is both a defense mechanism in times of crisis and a tool for coping long after the event. After bracing yourself for sadness and seriousness in light of a traumatic loss, it may be surprising to find humor instead; but I assure you this type of reaction is normal. Remember, healing requires a dynamic approach and just because someone relies on laughter at times doesn’t mean they don’t also spend a good amount of time with other emotions. There’s time to cry, time to be spent in serious reflection, and time to laugh - all are healing.

@@billiam3411 - thank you . I guess you are right. Everyone grieves in certain ways. I know I would be sobbing and hardly able to talk if I lost the love of my life.

Be water my friend.

Water in the brain, my friend.

I took this to be a positive comment. Was I wrong when I said "be water my friend"? The comment by someone else about water on the brain wasn't mine. I am puzzled about your next comment. Can you clarify for me? I am not a youngster and not sure if it's a positive.

@@billiam3411 not you, my friend. I’m directing my comment to the guy “The Great Awakening.” I think he better go back to sleep.
