I first met John while visiting with my mother at Maefair. His mother was on the same floor as mine. He was so devoted to his mother. He was a good friend to me and my family.
Be at peace my dear friend.
Love You,

John 55, was a fixtue of Main Street for many many years. Whether it was the Canteen in the 80's and 90's to D/D in the 90's and pool hall for the milenium years! I can remember being a kid and here would come John 55 over my house to see my dad to talk about the Honda Shadow he rode for many years! A sad lose for BPT.... RIP John.

John "55",
Thank you for all you did for me and my family at Billiard Sport Center. You were a legend there. I could always count on you for anything. You knew everyone in Bridgeport and You showed me the ropes to the pool hall. I'll never forget that. You were a very loyal person and was always quick to lend a hand to those in need. Still after all these years when I hear a Harley I always think of you. If there is a table 13 in heaven I'm sure u r on it asking God for the 7-ball. As you would say, Chow brother.
