I found out today that I lost a friend and pool buddy of mine.

For anyone that knew Greg Strickland of Dothan Al I am very sad to report his passing. He had several nicknames mostly all with "pizza" in them as he worked for Dominos for years and years.

Greg was a true friend of mine and fellow forum member "sizl". All three of us ran together, partied together and gambled together. I am still in shock of losing a 41 year old true friend.

He was a good player that would send it in whenever he could. He liked pool and action no matter what it was. I am sure someone has already been asked for a "little action" on the other side.

I will miss my buddy and will regret forever that I didnt keep in touch nearly as much as possible since I moved to SoCal.

Greg was the type of guy that woudl be right beside you after the dust settled and ready to go back if you needed him to. Once I called him and told him I needed some help. It was 2am and I was about 110 miles for Dothan. He was asleep and simply said " okay I'll be there, stay put". About 2 hours later he and another friend show up.

Pick up the phone, email someone, text them or send a letter but dont let friends and family go to long.

sorry to clutter the board but thought I needed to give a shoutout to my buddy.

thanks

BTW-- If anyone will see Monroe Jones that runs with Woody W I think please let him know. He also was good friends and another of our "gang".
He will want to know for sure.
 
Sorry for the loss of your friend

Although I am sorry to hear of your friends passing, I would much rather see these types of posts rather than all of the political bullshit posts that are cluttering up the board.

Once again, sorry to hear of your frineds passing and for the reminders for all of us to keep in closer touch with those whom mean so much to us.

He sounds like a great guy. I am sorry for your loss.

Im truly sorry to hear of your loss, it sounds like we all could use more friends like him.
 
Damn Frank, I'm sorry to hear that. I talked to Greg just a couple of months ago, and even played him some expensive one pocket less than a year ago. The pizza man will be missed-Matt

Frank. Look At My Post In Npr.(july 14th) Yes Everyone Else Should Too. Grab A Box Of Tissues And Read On.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss ...I have often wondered about the friends and playing partners I left behind in Southern California ... I've been lucky enough to find a great new group to run with ... They remind me of my friends in Southern California ... And I know I'm very lucky to get a second chance at t his type of thing ...Preyers go out to you and your friends ...
 
Sorry to hear about your loss

They say you can count true friends on one hand. I guess true pool friends are even harder to find. Again, sorry for your loss.
