Very sad news. JohnnyT was a great guy to talk to - very passionate - very honest - and of course, very feisty! If he was your friend, he would go to the end of the earth for you. I will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family. My he rest in peace.
A very good poster who understood both the action and tournament sides of the game. He brought knowledgeable points of view to AZB and shared many interesting stories with the forum. A sad loss indeed. Condolences to his family and friends. JohnnyT will be missed.
Johnny was like a fixture around here. Hard to imagine AZ without him. He joined in February of 2005 and fell just short of 20,000 posts. He was a real character and I will miss his posts. He gave the impression that AZ and billiards in general was a large, important part of his entertainment. Condolences to the family.
Johnnyt certainly had an interesting life.

Also a vet, as I recall, and a writer. But what he reported that I most admired was that he went to nursing school in his mid to late 40's, worked as a nurse until retirement, and put some single mothers through nursing school.
And now, gone at about age 77.

Sad to hear - makes one wonder what happens to U.S. pool scene within the next 20-30 years when many of us are gone or too old to comment, each passing seems like it brings a grim reality of pool's demise in America much closer. I am sad for the loss and committed to do what I can to keep the game alive as I once knew it.
I always enjoyed his threads. I'm going to miss reading his posts. He'll be missed around here for sure. 
Rest in peace JohnnyT.
Rest in peace JohnnyT.
John was a good guy. He showed me some financial support in the last US Open 9-Ball Championships I played in (2008).
An extremely valuable forums member. A big loss.
R.I.P. John. My condolences to his friends and family.

Very sad news. You feel a friendship with many of the posters on this site. I enjoyed his postings. I tried to meet him once when I was heading in his direction but he said he really didn't feel well enough to play. Never met the man but I feel a loss of a kindred spirit. So long JohnnyT. I will miss your insights of today's world by someone from mine.
