Mika always had a soft spot for Manila and the people, one of his favourite career highlights, not the world titles, was defeating Efren in the finals in Efren's homeground, that's some feat. He partied hard and enjoyed the islands too, to the point he brought down a pool table and played underwater to the bottom of the island paradise of Boracay. You are fearless, tenacious and oozing with confidence in each pre-shot routine. He lived a life we pool nuts can just be envious. Salute to a fighter and RIP my friend.

And he accomplished so much....
Each time that we lose one of the legends of the game, I am reminded of how inspirational the annual BCA Hall of Fame banquet really is. Each year, early in the proceedings, a lengthy video of legends past is shown, and the tradition we have of reflecting on those who paved the way is very special to me.
This year, before Carlo Biado is inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame, I am sure we will shed a few extra tears when we see video footage of Buddy Hall, Terry Bell, Dan DiLiberto, and Mika Immonen. We'll never forget them.

This one was hard. Mika and I go back a long way and we traveled many roads together in life.
There was once a champion
Mika was his name.
He loved to compete
And Pool was his game.
He traveled the world
Winning many crowns.
Making so many friends
In each and every town.
His power on the table
Was awesome to see.
His love off the table
Fit him to a tee.
We will all miss you
Your smile and your grace.
But we know now
You are in a better place.
