So sad...thanks. I had to know him but just can't remember him.
 
Don't know him but would like some info. What room or rooms did he frequent. Where was he houseman. Thanks
 
Big Jim

Sad news, knew Big Jim for many years, he made two cues for me, I learned a lot about playing pool from him. This is a serious blow to Pete Fusco, my condolences to his family and Pete Fusco. R.I.P. Big Jim

Frank, He was a fixture at Pete Fusco's room, they were located on Bustelton Ave, one block south of Street Rd. The room moved to State Rd, it's now called the spot. He was Pete's right hand man, they were together many years. He was a very strong player, like Pete he loved the game of One Pocket. My heart dropped when I started reading this post, what a wonderful person. Great Loss. How are you, fine I hope. We need to get together this spring when you return home. Wish you and the family a safe and Happy Holiday Season.

Pocono.....you are a major good guy. Hope you are doing well. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Stay warm and safe up there. Hooking up in the Spring is a good plan.
I went to Fusco's a few times when located on Bustleton. Great room. Sorry to hear the bad news here.

Houseman was a big supporter of my book, The Green Felt Jungle. He was really a nice person to me and may he RIP forever, God Bless !
