I've been knocking around here for a dozen or so years and there have been some great members we have lost. And it's not a small number.

To add some perspective I thought we could list some of their names in this thread to underscore the loss and their contributions here.

Here's just a few who quickly came to my mind:

kvinbrwr

Freddy The Beard

Mr. Bond

Smorg

3railkick

Royce Bunnell

Neil

Please feel free to add to this list with or without comments and keep fond thoughts of these great azb'ers.

So this list is only for the nice guys ? There is Valdemort of the forum who has passed. Probably more than one.

no, not just for the "good guys" at all.

I'll add A Fast Larry.

Quite the controversial fellow and what a sad ending...

AZB Hall of Fame

Folks:

While this thread brings back some memories, another one (memory) was jogged that reminded me this thread may be redundant.

You DO know that we have an AZB Hall of Fame for those members we've lost, right?

Here it is:
https://forums.azbilliards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=79

If you want to navigate to it manually:
Main Category -> AZB Hall of Fame

Many of the members mentioned are remembered here, and in the cases of those not, *should* be remembered there. Additionally, I vote that for those that really had an impact here, that their memberships be color-changed to denote they are no longer with us, as is the case with Smorg. (His screenname / avatar / profile always appears in a different color here on these forums.)

The man you are speaking of was Frank Wojciechowski. I played straight pool on several occasions with him. He was a really nice guy and had a solid game.

hey Sean;

how have you been buddy?

Your point above was already brought up in this thread (see post 5).

I do like your idea of a different colored banner for members who have passed.
