One of our friends and competitors has lost his battle with cancer. Following is an email I received from his dear friend and teammate. Please read on.
"Larry, i'm not sure if you knew this or not but Bill who
played on our Hooper's pool team notified us early on in the season that he had
terminal cancer. He played the next few weeks but after that no longer had the
energy to make it. Dennis,Bill and I have played together on the same pool team
for 20 years with various players, leagues and bars. I cannot recall Bill EVER
missing a night. I cut my teeth learning to play pool with Bill at Dan's
lounge. That's also where I met Dennis. Biil McGarvey passed away on 10/23/08,
the day after the season ended. I believe in my heart that he stayed with us
long enough to finish the season, even if he could not play.
We silently, as a team, dedicated our season to Bill.
Although we didn't finish first, we all finished together. If you cannot print
this on your web-site, can you print something that acknowledges Bill McGarvey
as someone who loved pool as much as anyone I knew. He knew many people in the
league as well. Thank you Larry."

Each day we live we add one to our legacy. I can only hope to live to be remembered as friends of Bill and Don Mock remember them. Let's keep them in our hearts through the next season.
