David Lee Berlin (22 August 1952 - 26 June 2020)
It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the passing of Sensei Dave Berlin. He helped me and Jason quite a bit on our journey in judo. His kind words and sage advice were apt. He will be missed by me. Below is his official obituary.
David Lee Berlin, 67, of Ponte Vedra, Florida, passed away Friday, June 26, 2020. He was born in Miami, Florida, to Sol and Blanche Berlin, on August 22, 1952.
David was the beloved husband of 46 years to Cheryl Berlin; father to Michael Berlin (Bailey), Michelle Taylor (Nick) and Melissa Bauer (Michael). He was a loving Zayde to Baxter, Marlee, Bennett, Ryland, and Carter, and is also survived by his brother, Steve Berlin (Susan), and sister, Barbara.
Simply put, to know David was to love David. Life will never be the same for his family, friends, and colleagues. He was a mentor and cherished leader to many, he changed the lives of all who met him for the better, and all-around irreplaceable. David was a scuba diver, Judo Champion, the kindest gentleman, a storyteller, an influencer, and a dedicated businessman. “His professional contributions only scratched the surface of his value to his fellow man, as he was especially giving of his time and resources to causes embraced by him and his family.”
Words do not exist that describe the heartache caused by the world’s loss of this truly beautiful human being.
Graveside Funeral Services will be held at 1:00 pm, Monday, June 29, 2020 at Ponte Vedra Valley Funeral Home and Cemetery, 4750 Palm Valley Road, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082.
The family kindly suggests contributions be made in David’s name to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Tonight's class had me, Jason, and Josh M. since my son (another Josh) stayed out due to potential strep throat. We went over a series of arm drags and take downs for two hours. We did not live roll.

SATURDAY, 13 JUN 2020 SARASOTA TRIP
Six of us made the trip to Sarasota. On what is normally an open mat day, I taught the correct way to do the bread cutter choke and the escape.
