Well that’s no good. I have enjoyed his commentary and watching him play for years.

I will send positive thoughts to him and his family. Get well soon John.

Sad to hear. I've known John for many years and like him very much.

Sorry to hear

Always enjoyed meeting and playing with him. All the best, John!

Praying for John. He's a regular on the pool circuit, and those who know him always enjoy hearing his pool tales and being around him. He's one of a kind! I knew he had been sick for sometime. It's so sad to see our loved ones suffer. I hope he's not in pain and realizes how much we all love him.

 

[Pushout]

Oh no! Hope you get better John!!

John is a legendary player in California. He's played everybody of note for the last fifty years, myself included. And best of all, he remains friends with all those guys! We love you John!

Keep your head up John

Turn it around, Hendy!

Wish you well John.

Thanks for all the pool knowledge you've shared over the years.... and all the great stories.

UPDATE: his son posted that he's doing better, even asked for a burrito from his fave spot. Don't know what the issue(s) is. His son's FB: https://www.facebook.com/unclebiggie

One pocket.org alluded to maybe a bad heart valve. Glad to hear he is in good spirits.

No, he was living in California at the time. I lived within 500 miles (Dayton, Ohio) and went every year from 1963 to 1967, but never played in the event. I wasn't ready. I did play in the last Stardust tournament in 1972 and won a few matches, even beating the great Jimmy Fusco in One Pocket.

I beat a decent player once and we had to put him on suicide watch for a month.
I finally had to sign an affidavit that I had jarred him before the match, or he just did not want to go on. Get well soon John.

i remember i bet on you with slim. he was booking the matches. i got like 3 to 1. dont remember the score or much about it but you did beat him. i went against the money on that one because i felt it wasnt going to be a dump. and it wasnt.
you were one of the few that could be trusted.
