I’ve never met anyone quite like John. I met him about 40 years ago when I was a teenager. We hit it off right from the start. It was at this point that I feel in love with pool. John was an incredible pool player and I would be amazed as I watched him control the cue ball so well and if you know John, there was some show boating going on along with an enormous amount of trash talk 🙂 I was always inspired by John and Donna’s relationship. True commitment! So many stories that time would not allow to tell. I’m sure gonna miss my long time friend. My prayers are with Donna and the family. When I first met Jihn for some reason he nick named me “Sweetums”. What a joy he was to be around.
