Nicest pros?

The other Earl Strickland, when not on the table playing against you, he’s seems to be very nice. He and I happened to be on an elevator at the Sands in Reno one year and he not knowing me from Adam, as how my game was and was generally very nice to me a total stranger.
 
Jeanette Lee. Wound up having a conversation with her at one of the finals in Las Vegas. Didn't buy a picture/ Didn't enter a $20 match with her but just chatted. Couldn't be nicer and more helpful. Some might say she was faking it since she was going to be giving a session, etc. Yeah, maybe but her level of sincerity couldn't really be faked. Just my $.02.
Also had the opportunity to chat with Mike Segal all the way back in 1987 at the Glass City Open. Couldn't have been more friendly and forthcoming.
 
I once chatted with Ewa Mataya for about 20 minutes in a hotel lobby while we were both waiting to check in. I didn't realize who she was until later. Super nice lady. :LOL:
 
Thorsten Hohmann is very nice- he posed for a picture with me and spoke about Germany (my Dad grew up in Germany) and Pool for 10 minutes with me between matches at a tournament at griff’s.

Stevie Moore was also very friendly when I interacted with him at hard times years ago
 
I can’t believe no has said Brandon Shuff . Of course Oscar and Omar . A guy from 10-15 years ago Adam smith from Detroit. I’ve met a fair amount. Also Alex P
 
Three good men come to mind sadly they've all passed away , Frank McGown , Grady Mathews and Cowboy Jimmy Moore were all very interesting to visit with all class acts .
 
Tony Robles for sure. - I saw Mike Massey win a Joss tour event in the late 1990s in Danbury CT. - there was also a charity event going on there that day- I personally saw him hand over the winning envelope money from Mike Zuglan to the woman running the charity event- what a guy!
 
I haven’t spent a significant amount of time with a lot of pros, but of those I have, Nick Varner, Rodney Morris, Jeanette Lee, Tommy Kennedy, Jeffery DeLuna, and CJ Wiley have all been great…
 
The only one I've ever really talked to was Tony Chohan at a tournament while he was on a smoke break. Seemed like a really genuine dude who loved the game. Just an honestly good dude with a very sharp mind.
