It is with tremendous sadness that we inform the fraternity of 3 cushion billiard players across this country of the passing of Dave Van Lokeren.
Those of us that had the pleasure of knowing him and the privilege to call him a friend will miss him dearly. Never has there been a more gracious player in terms of his overall demeanor. Whether he was practicing or competing, winning or losing, running 8 or missing for 4 or 5 consecutive innings, David was always in control of his emotions. But it was more than his emotions that were being controlled, it was really his respect for the people around him that made him what he was and ultimately to become known as 'Gentleman Dave'.
