MARSHALL CARPENTER, probably the last of a generation that produced the legends of our game which included the likes of Willie Mosconi, Irving Crane, Minnesota Fats, Luther Lassiter, Jersey Red, UJ Puckett, Boston Shorty, Cowboy Jimmy Moore, Cornbread Red, Weenie Beenie, Junior Goff & his close friend, Eddie Taylor, passed away in Tuscaloosa, AL at the age of 92.
Known as the “Tuscaloosa Squirrel,” Marshall Carpenter was a legend in his own right. Always dapper, he ran the roads for many years. Squirrel was inducted into the One Pocket Hall of Fame in 2006 & returned in 2015 for his last appearance at the One Pocket Hall of Fame Dinner.
I know the pool world will join me in offering my condolences to his friends, family & all who loved him. RIP…
