Riley Jet Johnson,aka The Hungry Hound, was waked yesterday morning 10 am. A lot of his friends from Red Shoes attended, along with the members of his family. Not one representative from Chris's Billiards, however. Even tho Ed Young notified the people at Chris's. (Now you know why I havent gone in there in 3 years. It's turned into a cheap, nit-shit joint full of knockers.) Alex the Greek Pissios, a friend, and along with Eddie Gobbo, a backer of Jet, donated five hundred (500ea) T-Shirts with Jet's image on them, to Jet's sister to be used to raise a few bucks for the family. They were selling them for $20 ea. I got a couple and I will show what they look like as soon as I take some photos of them.

After Jet won the Bank Ring Game at DCC in 2010, I gave him a promotion to, "The Golden Hound." Woulda called him the Golden Jet, except Chicago already has one of those (Bobby Hull).

You're a good man and a class act Freddy,,,

You looked after ''The Jet'' just like you did with ''Bugs''

You have a place up in Heaven solidified,,,

Yes, Freddy, you are tops with your friends. :smile:

And you don't seem to have much problem letting those who rub you wrong know where they stand either.

RIP "Hungry Hound". You provided some real entertainment on the pool table, Sir.

Best,
Brian kc

the Hound's T-shirts

Here are some pics of the 500 T Shirts that Alex Pissios made for Jet's sister. I personally, at the moment, don't know how to get anybody a shirt if they wanted one.
Maybe I can talk to the sister to leave some at Red Shoes.

Thanks for sharing Freddy. I'm sad that I wasn't in IL this week to attend his wake. I had no idea that he was even sick. I would have loved to sit and talk to him one last time. Jet was always good for a laugh or encouragement! He taught me a little about banking too.

RIP Jet.
