Yes,
I just got an update through my school that Oyata Sensei passed away this past Monday.
Here is a link to the official site:

My condolences to you and your students. Mr. Oyata and my sensei trained together in Okinawan Kenpo, he has passed also so I can relate to your loss.

Thanks Duane,
Just a small correction, by "my school" I mean the school I attend.
It's not my school, I'm simply a student there.
Thanks
