Hernando Pineres

The billiard community has suffered a great loss.

Mr. Hernando Pineres, owner of New Wave Billiards in Miami, Florida passed away yesterday.

"Nando" as he was called by those closest to him, was a great supporter/promoter of 3 Cushion Billiards having hosted numerous tournaments and attending many international events.

He was well known and loved by many top players and spectators in the billiard community alike.

Rest In Peace Good Friend, We Will Sorely Miss You.

With Deepest Sympathy,


Henry Ugartechea
USBA President
