RIP Billy Santiago -

[Kickin' Chicken]

Very sad to report that covid took an exquisitely nice man and pool player from us yesterday.

Billy Santiago was a fixture for many years in CT APA play as well as Joss northeast and Tony Robles' Predator events. Billy was perpetually upbeat, quick with a joke and extraordinarily generous in sharing his knowledge with less skilled players. Many might remember seeing Billy at events with a camera strapped around his neck documenting the action taking place. Billy was an accomplished shooter both with his cue stick as well as his camera.

RIP Billy Santiago - you will be missed.

best,

Sorry to hear, I remember Billy when I lived up in CT.- nice guy!

You can tell from his smile that he was a man you’d enjoy spending time around.
He looks like a jovial person & losing someone to this dreaded virus is depressing.
