It is with sadness that I report a good pool friend, John Ford, has passed as a result of Covid-19.
John was an incredibly likable fellow and led a very interesting life. He was a proud US Marine and in his younger days was rated the number 16 Karate black belt in the USA. I last saw him just 2 weeks ago at our pool room here in CT. He was still using the stick I got for him last year.
Approx 5 years ago when my pal and then 88 yo NY Larry Gendler was being inducted into the New England HOF, John was featured in that news report which you can see at the following link. John begins at the 4 minute mark.

May he rest in peace.
