Donnie Anderson died May 1. You may know him as the Cincinnati Kid. I knew him as dad. He loved me and I miss him. He was a bit of a celebrity in Cincinnati thanks to his mad pool skills and quick wit. He was the first Bank Pool World Championship in 1974 and was proud to be inducted into the One Pocket Hall of Fame in 2009.
We will have a memorial service to honor him on Tuesday, May 5. If you knew him, you surely loved him. If you didn’t know him you missed out. But you can read a little bit about him here.
