Of the few pictures we have of Richie Florence this one is the most interesting. It was probably used by Richie for some sort of promotion and the players which attested to Richie's ability are legendary. All of the signed statements begin with "Denny", at this point an unidentified friend, partner, or promoter with Florence in some manner. Any information about Denny would be greatly appreciated.
"To Denny, Richie was practically unbeatable at any game in the late 60's and early 70's. I really miss watching him play." Jimmy Fusco
"Denny, Richie and I had some great battles playing 9-ball in the 60's an 70's and became good friends! He was truly a great player, especially for his money! Wade "Billy Johnson" Crane
"Denny, Richie was one of the greatest. I miss watching him play."
