I am sorry to hear about his passing. I never met him personally, but had one of his cues
come through and it needed a collar on the shaft repaired.
That cue was one of the best hitting and constructed cues I have ever shot with.
He also fixed a small blemish in the cue which was no big deal to me, but, he
told me he wanted the cue right and would not give me a price for fixing it.
I think I sent him $30.00, been a little while.
Sure wish we would have a talent like him in our area, what a gem of a person. He left
a great positive impression on me.
