Hoot,
left us very fast. Last week I went and bought him a sandwich for breakfast and he tried to pay me and I told him that we had been friends since the early 70's and that was pay enough. I will miss him at the pool room where we played together for many years. Rest in peace Hoot and our prayers are with the family.
