We lost a great friend to the game in Pete Sinkler last night. Our thoughts and prayers go out Petey his son and his family.
For those of us who got to hang out with, work for, and get to know Pete, I can only laugh when I think of him!
He was a wonderfully funny dude, and EVERYTHING was fair game! He was telling jokes only a couple days ago when my wife Missy went to visit him, and he was in good spirits then.
Pete was one of the owners of the famed Cue Corner in Downingtown PA. He held annual 14.1 events that brought in Pros like Varner, Hopkins, Sigel, etc. somehow Pete knew ALL the top Pros and they loved him! He also was a BIG promoter of junior events, and put up a ton of his own money to sponsor the events. Many of todays top Pros came thru the Cue Corner as juniors.
Pete tried to be cranky, brash, and had a "biker" (which he was) rough exterior, but when you got to know him he was a kind hearted good friend that would help anyone, and often did help many of the locals at the pool room.
I'm kind of bummed at the moment and I know we will see all kinds of stories here quickly! I will leave it like this for now...
RIP Pegleg Pete my friend!
