Tony Ellin was a childhood friend, I used to bring Tony to the pool room in Miami cause he was old enough to drive, we were taught by the same men but he was driven and very gifted, I was just...well lets leave that for another day. I loved him like a brother, my dad coached our church basketball league and thought he was one of the most gifted natural athlete's he had ever seen. He played baseball, basketball and anything you could WIN at well.
