Joseph "Tiny" Weber, owner of Club Billiards in Wichita,Ks., passed away today after a fight with cancer. He was a great promoter of this game in his oh-so-cool old school room. Just recently he organized Efren's Midwest stops during his tour. RIP.
This is his place: https://www.facebook.com/pg/clubbilliards/photos/?tab=album&album_id=318650388188090 Recently enlarged but still has that 40's-50's feel to it. Absolutely awesome room. Haven't heard what plans are but i'm sure he'd want someone to keep it alive.

I just noticed, while watching replays of the Mosconi Cup, that team USA had a tribute patch on their shirts. I've played on teams out of Club Billiards many times, and Tiny was a great promoter of this sport. One time while playing a league match, we got to also watch an exhibition match on the table next to us between Justin Bergman and Gabe Owen. Tiny built a great place to play pool. RIP
