Herb Wilmot
- Thread starter DrCue'sProtege
- Start date
A bad month in the pool world. Herb was a sweetheart, a helluva nice guy is all I have to say. Always greeted everyone with a smile. They don't come any better than him in my book.
My condolences to HERBS family.
I first met HERB in the late 70's/early 80's and it seems like we were always friends. He was prolly around 54 when he passed. High school phenom who played (fullback) for the BEAR at BAMA in his youth. His personality was incongrous to his physical strength. He was smitten by the pool bug at about the time I met him and although he took the game up relatively late he became, as a by product of a prodigious work ethic, an above average player by the early 90's. He was ranked 52nd on the men's tour (back then you got points for entering) for a while. HERB had an opportunity to work with STEVE TIPTON during the formative period of the ladies tour and he attacked the challange with the same energy he devoted to other endeavers which interested him.
He was twitterpatted upon laying eyes on Ms. FISHER.
HERBIE, you'll be missed....

> Some of the best tournaments I've ever been to were the PBTA qualifiers that Herb ran at Bartlett. I'll damn sure miss him. He's the one,along with you Rib,that convinced me to play in the U.S. Open in 2000 after coming so close to winning that qualifier. Remember the 2 identical plain-jane McDaniels he used to play with? Any idea where the services will be? Tommy D.
