Very sad news. A good and honorable man. Bought his cues in the late 70's and early 80's. Met him the first time around 1982-83. Hall of fame cuemaker.

Very sad to lose a good man ,He will live on with a great legacy in the hearts and hands thru his life's work.He was a treasure as much as his cues are and will always be ,you could ask for more out life then what he had .friends,family and doing something he loved
Who in our pool world doesn't know and respect his work.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones! He will be remembered.

My Sympathy goes out to the Scruggs family.

He was a genuinely nice person, and of course a great cuesmith, we all lost on this one. :(

R.I.P. Mr.Scruggs.

Very sad. Here's to Tim; most of these cues were his making. I'll miss talking to him.

Very sorry

Very sorry to hear this news. I met Mr. Scruggs at the very first SBE I went to in 1995. My friend John and I decided to purchase a cue from him, but he was entirely sold out. A Master Cue Maker. RIP

For a bit of nostalgia, here are a couple pictures from Tim's first brochure. He went on his own, after Joss, in 1978. The brochure was shortly after, about 1979 or so. For all the cues he built me, we never even talked price until he handed me the cue. And it was always reasonable, like an afterthought. With all of today's stories of dealing with cuemakers, Tim stands out as old school. A deal done on a handshake, many times. His kind does not come around very often.

On the second page, for those with good eyesight, is Bob Frey in the background. It was the Scruggs/Frey era. What a good time it was.

Bought an ebony six-pointer out of the display rack at Breakers in Pittsburgh in 1994. I still regret selling it and the It's George case I carried it in. Between the cancer and death of people close to him at least he's at peace.
