Mike Armstrong, the 2003 Delaware state 9 ball champion has passed away. Many of you may remember Mike from the SBE which he worked for a few years. Mike was a real nice guy & a strong player. I know I'll miss him. RIP Mike

Mike was a standup guy. I knew Mike for about 15 years, he really was a great player and will be missed. On a positive note I had never seen Mike so happy until he had his children. Mike you will be missed I'm sure your hitting them as good as ever up there with the big man!! R.I.P Mike Armstrong
 
I just heard about this a few days ago myself. I first met Mike when I started playing pool again in '04 at the Royal. I've played him a couple of times in the years since and donated a bit to him:rolleyes: I knew I was in trouble when I saw that well worn case he had:groucho: Good player and table mechanic...Rest In Peace Mike
 
It was funny how he won the De state 9ball.... He played Ryan Mcreesh (sp) in the semi finals & it was hill hill and Ryan runs out to an easy 9 ball & over hits it, goes 2 rails to scratch in the corner giving Mike the win. Then Mike plays Josh Brothers in the finals & Josh didn't put one of his games up:boring2: & it went hill hill. Mike WINS:grin:
 
Good tourny

That used to be a great tournament there at pockets. The money was always good and there was always a pretty tough field there. I won it the last year they had it 2005. Mike was there cheering for me the whole time. Man I'm going to miss him!!

I'f I'm not mistaken... didn't Mike used to run that tourney?
 
Mike

Yes he did, did a damn good job to. He was a regular in that bar too, on occasion you can still find cheap action there.
