Petey Fusco aka "The Fizz" from Philly passes away

Boulevard Social Club.
I remember that room and the colorful players that frequented it.
I believe it was on top of a Penn Fruit supermarket.
I was a kid in my teens back then.
Memories.

Remember the houseman Al Fisher? I think that was his name. He was a fighter. Someone questioned the time card... he said to the guy I'm going to show it to you and punch you in the fkn mouth. Everyone backed up a little ..it got real quiet..the time got paid and done.
Boulevard was also good for late evening card games. I never got involved. My cards are worse than my pool

I first saw this Very Sad news about Petie on FB from Bob (Bobby two rails)Feldman.

I didn't want to believe it! I called "Fusco's the Spot" and they confirmed what I had dreaded.

I was in Total shock! I knew Petey wasn't in the best of health for a while, since I had spoken with him around the 9th.

We spoke about things in general and mentioned to him the Big Bob Ogburn had passed away just a week to 10 days ago.

And how pretty much there's very few of us left from the 60's crew.

Well, now you, Jimmy, Big Jim, my BFF Freddy the Beard, Rabbit, can All play the Best you all every did every day!

R.I.P. Petere (Petie) Fusco! See you when I see you.

RIP Pete. Didn't know him well, but was friends with Jimmy. Both great people.
