Heard this morning. Really sucks. My main playing cues have been Phillippis for more then 10 years now. They have always treated my father and I right on cue orders, purchases, repairs, etc. Sad news. My condolences.

My condolences to Richard's friends & family.
Rick was a great cuemaker, and could build just about anything in his own style.
Very sad news
RIP Richard Phillippi

Sorry to hear this news. I played with a Phillippi cue off and on for several years.

The same as my post on the other thread, I admire his cue making.
He excelled in his craft and accomplished it with style & creativity.

Very sorry to hear that. I think Rick Junior is carrying on the tradition. Baltimore has a great tradition of cue makers, and Rick was part of it.
