Worked on it all day and finally finished it up a few minutes ago.

This is a video I created in memory of Grady Mathews. I created it for all of his family, friends and fans to remember him by. I think it came out very nice and I'm sure that everyone that watches, will be moved by it. Many thanks to Mary Kenniston, Steve Booth and Freddy Bentivegna for supplying me with many nice pictures. I even managed to throw in a few audio clips of Grady sparring with Billy Incardona in the booth, as he is wont to do :D

I had hoped for a much better participation from the pool community, in regards to material for this, as I only had about 2 people from the world's most popular pool forums send me something. It is what it is though. I forged on in spite of that, thanks to the 3 people listed above.

I would have liked to spend even more time on this to make it so much better, but I was under the gun to get it done while the tournament was going on and had to juggle several other things going on. Hope you all enjoy it in the state it is though. I enjoyed making it and watching it when it was done.

Please if you would, email this link to all the pro players you know or anyone else that would enjoy watching it, as there are a lot of people that do not visit these forums and would never know it existed. Especially a lot of his friends. Those are the people that I really hope get to see it, the people that knew him best. I don't know all those people's emails, so I'm counting on you guys/gals to help me get it out there for them to enjoy.

Thanks again to Mark Griffin for dedicating the 2012 US Open Onepocket Championships to Grady.

If you enjoy, feel free to leave comments on the threads in AZB or onepocket.org or here. Many hours go into making something like this, so it's always nice to know that someone watched it.

If you are moved to tell a story or relay a memory, certainly feel free to do so here.:smile:

Thank you, Greg aka "CaliRed"

EDIT: Seems my source of info regarding Grady's poolroom in Colorado was slightly off... His room was in Colorado Springs, NOT Denver. Too late to fix, so I"m putting it out there in this fashion.
