| Dec. 27, 2015 Storm20 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Call for Prayers for John X.E. McAndrew Sad news indeed... With the Passing of XE yesterday, I decided to activate a posting account on this thread to publicly express my tremendous respect and love for John.I also want to share a personal story and how he impacted my life. For those of you who did not know him, he was a tremendous, talented player in not only stature. He had a giant sized heart and was always a positive influence to those around him. We played together for the first time back in 1985 for John Imlay/Bombat out of New Jersey. We were at the worlds in Burlington NC, the first day of play ended and I was walking through the lobby of the hotel with most of the team when I heard a voice coming from the nearby hotel restaurant " eat with the old guys tonight". I turn and see XE and Ernie Hicks who was also one of the true gentlemen I had the pleasure of playing with early on. They were taking a table and waving me over.I decided to eat with them and was seated. A beautiful waitress approached our table and quickly XE started joking around with her and informing here she was waiting on some very important people and that she may not know this but she was speaking to the senator of Pennsylvania.We all laughed, placed our orders and she walked away. I said to XE, that girl is beautiful, very sweet, down to earth and marriage material. XE responds, I can arrange that. I said noooo, don't say anything . Of course that went on deaf ears. The waitress comes back with our drinks and he informs here that I think she's marriage material and she should come to our game tomorrow and then go on a date with me. Ernie also chimed in, encouraging her to take the senators advice. lol. She agreed to come to the game. Well, to shorten the story, she comes to our game. Gary Richter and several on the team, fuel the fire further by encouraging her to go out with me and we go on a date. 4 years later we were married. So... my small contribution and personal story about XE I wanted to share with all of you . My wife and I express our deepest and heartfelt condolences to all of XEs' family and friends.
