My dear and close friend, Dave Faver, passed away peacefully in hospice on May 7th. I can't begin to explain the impact our friendship would have on me as I helped him somewhat for the past 2 years as he went through esophageal cancer and then brain cancer. His outlook on life was an inspiration and I was blessed to see that in a man who didn't have much, but actually had A LOT. This will all make more sense when you read his
interview that is now online for
Billiard Buzz magazine.
I first interviewed David back in September 2017 - the day he had brain cancer surgery, and I would occasionally ask him clarification questions over the following eight months. He shared with me that he didn’t want me to put the interview in the magazine until after he passed away. I kept that wish (and many others), including Dave’s request that I title this “
The Life of a Pool Player.”
I think you all will be very surprised by Dave's responses.
Gosh I miss you, Dave!
Dave was in hospice for a week and a half and the nurses were simply amazing and so thoughtful and caring to Dave (and myself). I can't express enough how important hospice is and how impactful the nurses are during a difficult time. They were angels for sure.
