Roger Conti was a French carom player, specialized in all game modes and inventor of the modern game, because it is thanks to him that billiards knows its current technical form. He had become aware and transmitted the study of the mechanism (the gestures, the different positions of the body depending on the point to be executed), he understood the importance of building a series with different frame games (the 47/2 , 71/2, 47/1). He had approached the design based on fundamental principles. The design is the basis for building a series of different frame games: "The point played is not the one that presents itself, but those that will be." For him, "Billiards, the real, the only, pure blend of sport and art, requiring skill, measure, self-knowledge and self-control, fierce will, training followed by his muscles and his brain, the love of Beauty in the execution of stitches and the taste of Harmony in their sequence ».

His last wife, Rita, is the sister of Andre Agassi. According to Price's article, Rita's father, Mike Agassi, a 1952 Olympian on the Iranian boxing team who had become a successful casino greeter in Las Vegas, hated Gonzáles so much that he considered having him killed. Gonzáles had coached the young Rita until she had rebelled against her father's 5,000-balls-a-day-regimen and first moved in with, then married, on 31 March 1984, the much older Gonzáles. Years before, Mike Agassi, already a tennis fanatic, had once served as a linesman for one of Gonzáles's professional matches in Chicago. Gonzáles had upbraided Agassi so severely for perceived miscalls that Agassi had walked away and gone to sit in the stands.
For decades González had made $75,000 a year from an endorsement contract with Spalding for racquets and balls but was unable to get along with the company personnel. Finally, in 1981, after nearly 30 years, Spalding refused to renew the contract. He had also been the tennis director and tournament director at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip for 16 years, another lucrative job. In 1985 he was fired after refusing to give private lessons to the wife of his boss.
Gonzales died almost completly broke and with no friends, in a minuscule house near Las Vegas airport. His funerals were paid by André Agassi.
