Yep, I think about Kevin all the time too. We became good friends, worked cue deals and played a lot of pool together. He was always hustling on ebay and actually made a good living doing that. He had multi million annual business volume in the ebay heyday. He knew art and was especially expert in the silverware market. We met after he sold that $55,000 Szamboti on ebay, where he became an instant pool dealer celebrity. He wanted cue knowledge and made a lot of money on the side buying and selling cues.
He had been very athletic in his life. He excelled at swimming and golf. He liked bicycle riding, mountain biking and especially riding at the beach. I had stopped golfing when we were friends, but I would give anything to be able to play some golf with him now. When I told him we bought a home in a coastal golf community, he was genuinely excited and we planned he would come up here.
He passed away before the new house was completed. The warning signs were there. He had a small stroke a few years before his fatal heart attack. Some evenings we would be out playing and he wouldn't have much stamina left at the end of the night. For you guys who didn't know Kevin, he became a celebrity here on AZ.
Kevin was a guy with a huge personality and lived life to his own tune. Miss him a lot!
