I met Joey online in another pool forum, far, far away, and we both somehow ended up here on AzBilliards. In fact, it was our mutual friend, Smorgie, who invited me here to this moderated forum. It was quite different from the forum me and Joey were hanging out on.
Over the years, Joey and I have gotten to know each other via posts and PMs. I was saddened with Smorgie passed away, and Joey offered some comforting words of wisdom. I still miss Smorgie today.
Joey called me up one day on the phone about a pool-related matter, and we got to chatting. Now, I know Joey is from N'awlins way, and the first thing I asked him was, "Hey, Joey, how come you don't have that sweet Southern accent?" When you listen to Joey commentate, and you'd never know he's from down South.
He's been a bright light on any forum he posts on. I like his style, always upbeat and positive. He's, indeed, an asset to the pool world. :smile:
